50th Birthday Party Idea submitted by Susan (USA)

I just had a surprise party for my 50th birthday party. It was so special! The theme was “50 years ago” (when I was born). I was born in the 50’s, so my husband rented an old fifties dinner and had it all set and decorated with my friends waiting my arrival. Before we left home he gave me a present and said it was one of many to come.

When I opened it, I was a little surprised. My gift was a costume from the 50s. I knew something was going on, but I decided to go and get changed. When we arrived at the dinner I was so excited. It was a perfect surprise party (because I was surprised, but knew last minute something was going on).

We had a blast everyone was dressed in costume. We spent the night listening to the old music, dancing, and eating great food (real ‘old fashion’ burgers, fries, ice-cream soda, and apple pie for desert). Thank you so much to my husband and friends for this surprise. Good luck to all of you turning 50!

These milestone birthdays are an accomplishment and should be celebrated with shimmer and sparkles their interest. Think about the birthday girl / boys hobbies and create a theme to match their interest.

For example: is the interest is travel to warm destinations. A Luau Party works, or if they enjoy trips to Vegas a Casino Party would spike their interest. The list of themes is endless.

50th Birthday Party Ideas for Food

The food needs to match the theme for the evening. Food and beverages make or break a party. Make sure there is enough. If it is a hors d'oeuvre party there should be 7 per guest. It is always best to have too many and only serve what is needed. “Large” cheese platters that you make are always a hit. Check out your local deli to sample some of the large cheese selections.

You may also consider hiring a caterer and servers to help with the party.
