I have had quite a few inquiries lately about 50th Birthday Party Ideas. I think landmark birthdays are a great reason to celebrate and when done well, a special event will create treasured memories for all who attend.
Here's how I start to plan out an important event like this:
Essence of the Party -
I put together a short description of the real heart and purpose of the party. I can't stress how important this is. People often pick a "theme" before they have thought about the guests and, in this case, the birthday guest of honor.
It is important to take the time to think about the birthday person:
What do they like to do - dance, bowl, tea parties, wine connoisseur?
What would make them feel special and cared for - small dinner party, large dance with a DJ, Casino Night in your home, a all-girls luncheon in a beautiful garden?
Who should you invite - old friends, neighbors, all-girls/guys?
When you take the time to answer the deeper questions a theme, venue, and activity will often emerge on its own rather than forced to fit into a preconceived theme.
If you are going to take the time and money to host an event - putting some upfront work into creating a "Party Essence" is so worth it!
Goodluck and Have Fun!

A lot of my friends are about to turn 50, so I will definitely think about how I can make their birthday parties a "hit" with your ideas!
