Birthdays are are one of the most memorable events for us. So make them precious, to be cherished and treasured. And what else than blasting parties can help them turn real great? Especially if the parties are laid with nice themes in sync with the true spirit. While kid’s are blessed with themes galore, the adults are often left biting their nails for a theme that rhymes with the celebration of reaching a milestone age. Well, for many of us reaching those milestone ages, say 30, 40, 50, or 75, and beyond
Before getting old, everyone experienced a youthful life. Retro back to their 20s, 30s even 40s to bring nostalgia to the night. With so many memories and experiences, it is easy to pick up some highlights and some memorable moments which is worth reliving.
Preparing videos or photos to remind them of their youthful time and inviting some old friends or someone hard to see in the daily life to the party. When going through these pictures and videos, people will have lots of fun and recall some funny memories of the old time.
The decoration of the party should be special and suitable for retro-themed parties. We can decorate the party with vintage records, disco balls, bright flowers, and kaleidoscopes which will turn the house into the old-fashioned style to make guests feel like being in a 60s club.
Throw an adults-only new year’s party with a theme concentrated on casinos, poker, and other lottery games to make up for the fact that your elderly friends and family members won’t be able to visit Las Vegas in the new year. Rather than using actual poker chips, have guests place bets using new year’s sweets and muffins.
After retiring, the elderly have lots of leisure time and handmade craftwork is a good choice for them to kill time. A Handmade-themed party is also a good choice for the seniors.
We can decorate the room with handmade pieces. For example, DIY photo booths, paper cutting, knitting, tissue paper pom poms, DIY cakes and snakes, and so on. Handmade decorations are one of the best ways to make the party become more vibe and vibe.
Guests can be part of the handmade activities and make some cute DIY pieces back home. I believe that it can bring some nice memories for the guests and the seniors.
Nice for the elderly people. Keep the plan of the birthday a secret to the person whose b’day is going to be celebrated. Hide the entire family and special gifts away from the celebrant. Customize the cake and the gifts by writing the name of the person on them. Get everybody and everything ready beforehand.
When the time comes for the party to start take the birthdayer by surprise. Stash all the members in the party room. And close its door. Then lead the birthdayer to the closed door and give a rap on it. As everyone inside bursts out “Happy birthday to you” . Push the door open to let her or him in for the real surprise.
Or you may keep all the presents stashed up in a closed room and lead the person inside for a surprise. Gather all the members outside. When she or he comes out of the room let everybody greet her or him with a wish. What a surprise! Ask her or his old favorite dish and do it for her or him. Let everybody share it from his or hand. And deck the party room or lounge with symbol(s) that represents her/him the best. Like the pair of knitting sticks that she loved to use, or an old typewriter that she or he used to work with, or a golf stick he used to play with, and so forth. You can also decor the room with old vinyl discs records featuring hits of oldies. And play the old numbers favorite of her/his time. Everybody will love to see how it sets the person’s feet tapping.
Even if you’ve never thrown a surprise or adult birthday party for someone before, ask around for suggestions and ideas. Better yet, think back to parties you’ve attended before remembering what you liked (or didn’t like).
