40/50/60 birthday party theme! - help!!?
I am helping my cousin organize a multiple birthday party for my sister who is going to be 40, my aunt - she is going to be 50 and my dad he is going to be 60. We don't know what theme to use or how to decorate! This party will be after Christmas since their birthday is at the begining of January. ANY IDEAS? Thank you!
Answers:
I would go with black and white, maybe with a splash of red. Polka dots and gingham and stripes. Black and white balloons. You could do something with the number 150---that's the number of years they all add up to! A one and a half century party? You don't need a theme, but you could do a 40's, 50's and 60's party (going by the eras that each of them grew up in). Have various decor relating to each era, and a mix of music from those three decades. A three tiered cake with each tier decorated like one of the decades (I'm thinking tie dyed or hippie flowers for the 60's tier---)
Check ebay for custom invitations. Lots of crafters out there will make invites to your specs. Or just use Evite.

If they've got a good sense of humor have a funeral themed party. Have all the guests dress in black, and offer their condolences. You could even make a casket and bury "Good times", "Youth", "Staying up past 10:00", whatever....
what?
We had a similar idea in our family with multiple birthdays (we had every decade covered from 10 y/o through 80 y/o) and wanted to call it a "decades party". You could have trivia (I just saw a book from the year I was born and the current events, music, fashion, etc) or you could research what was going on the year the relatives were born and maybe turn it into a game, or make a collage of that year. Even a collage of photos of the person. Since it is such minstone birthday it is nice to celebrate that. Good luck!!
This might be kinda contrite, but why not a 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s theme for each person? Or something like that, the person who is 60 was born in the 40s, the person who is 50 was born in the 50s, the person who is 40 was born in the 60s, kinda weird, huh?
What about a sock hop?! Basically, what is called a 50's party, complete with hoop and poodle skirts and penny loafers and ponytails. Or maybe a 70's theme party with bell bottoms, platform heeled shoes, afro puffs and/or long falls, false eyes lashes, hot pants and go-go boots! Go to party city. They have a lot of decorating ideas and get a good DJ who has a large variety of old school music. Have fun!
