40th birthday party photos?
im having a 40th party for my husband he knows about it but im going to get some photos copied to put round the hall has anyone any ideas how i should arranged them ie should i arrange them as events happened in his life like turning 18 and 21 and then getting married if anyones got any ideas the would be much appreciated
Answers:
start from the earliest rangeing to his age now and write the ages on them with silly captions he will love it .
Say good bye to your marriage. Wow that's mean
yeah, i think a timeline arrangement would be cool
then maybe a picture of him now w/ large matting around it that everyone can sign.
I'm doing it for my hubbys 50th in July and I'm going to put funny little captions on the bottom that relate to the photo, hope this helps.
I am making a retirement dvd for my friend right now. I started out with oldest photo to most recent it is looking good. when it is right ,you will know. it is nice to see the gradual changes from young to old. Good luck
Get the photos copied then make your arrangement based on what looks good. It is OK if they are not in perfect order, this can even make great ice breaker conversations as people guess what is going on in the picture and how old was he then.
Good Luck
not to be morbid but my dad died last week and we got old photos from his childhood right up to last year,we got them blown up and they were put on a projector,but just get his lifes photos blown up and put them on the walls,im sure hell be mortified!!!!!and youll all have a good laugh especially ones of both of you in your heyday!
You can make a scrapbook for his lifes events... Make it nice and then it will be a conversation piece. This way its not all blown up but done tastefully.
It sounds like you have a handle on it. Why not take them to Kinko's and blow them up into life size posters to put behind the doors of bathrooms, front doors, and along the walls! Take pictures of people standing next to the life size photos.
I think blow his picture up and put it on cardboard and hang it from the ceiling. Take cute small goofy pictures as centerpeices.
Sounds like a fabulous idea. I did similar for my Dads 65th birthday. we divided into specific times in his life such as : Baby and childhood pics, school and college pics, ( for you include when you first met photos!), wedding pics, having children, special holidays and events etc.
Stick the sections over different parts of the hall walls with some fun captions etc. Put up balloons banners etc. You can buy alot of your party stuff on eBay with 40th on.
for my friends 30th last year i knew she wouldn't appreciate lots of embarrassing photos everywhere, so instead i got a couple of cute baby photos enlarged to put up and then got a nice album and put copies of the silly drunken embarrassing photos and the school photos with pig-tails and huge glasses in the album. i arranged the photos in date order and put funny captions next to each group of photos. this way she still got the keepsake but didn't cringe as she looked round the room.
I think that is a great theme.
Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
