Celebrate 60 years with a themed, fun-filled event.
A 60th birthday is a milestone event that should be appreciated with an unforgettable party. When planning a 60th birthday celebration, it is always best to choose a theme that honors the person's vitality, favorite eras and lifelong accomplishments.
Black-Tie/Casino
Order or desktop-publish casino-themed invitations that ask your guests to dress in formal black-and-white attire. Decorate the party room walls with casino-themed posters, such as original Casino Royale movie posters. Use black-and-white tablecloths and table settings with one elegant gold- or silver-star centerpiece. Purchase inexpensive fedoras or gangster hats, and tiaras to hand out to your guests when they arrive. Serve elegant hors d'oeuvres and main dishes along with champagnes and non-alcoholic ciders. Section off different areas for poker, blackjack and bingo and other popular games, and give guests lots of play money to keep things fun and entertaining.
Nostalgic
Invite attendees to come dressed in 1950s or 1960s attire. Decorate the party room with life-size cutouts or pictures of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley or any other of the guest of honor's favorite celebrities of the era. Tie in the nostalgic theme with jukebox centerpieces and pi#xF1;atas, plastic records, celebrity statuettes, music-note balloons and rock 'n' roll confetti, door curtains and string lights. Purchase 1950s and 1960s compilation records to randomly play at the party. Have a caterer prepare appropriate food to complement the theme and set up a dessert table with vintage candies such as Charleston Chews and Necco Wafers.
This Is Your Life
Invite old friends, classmates and co-workers from different time periods of the guest of honor's life. Locate and frame old pictures and use them as table centerpieces. Decorate the room with vintage memorabilia from the various stages of the guest of honor's life, as well as current photos and awards. Serve the guest of honor's favorite vintage and current dishes and desserts. Decorate the cake with a collage illustration of the honoree's professional and personal accomplishments.
