Nifty at Fifty...Over the Hill..such cliches! Let's move away from the cliches and just say 50 is so fabulous. With baby boomers everywhere you look, being 50 couldn't be cooler. Just look at all of the celebs who turned 50 in 2008: like Sharon Stone, Madonna, Prince and Ellen DeGeneres. Fifty is a time to be celebrated and what better time than to throw a party and party like a 40 year old!
How to throw a rockin' bangin' 50 year old party for a friend, family member, colleague or yourself:
1. Don't use any reference to Over the Hill, so this means no party plates with the mantra either.
2. No rollbacks and no playbacks. Meaning skip the before and after photo montage and just focus on how fab they look now.
3. Avoid the remember when stories...make new memories at this kickin' party.
4. Choose sassy and bold colors for the invitations and party like fuchsia, lime, clementine and electric blue.
5. Select creative cocktails and spicy, eclectic foods.
6. Reference others who have been there for ideas: such as http://www.ayearto50.blogspot.com/. This blog has a list of baby boomer cool blogs. Research is key for this big birthday bash!
7. Give out fun party favors like gag gifts or gift certificates to Victoria's Secret or Chocolate cigars.
8. Choose a theme that can resonate from the invitations to the party decor to the dress code. Some fun dress codes are: South Beach White, Sultry Red, Black and White, Outrageous Orange or Club Chic. When choosing a party theme consider: Casino Night, Nightclub or Disco.
Remember 50 is the new 40! Have a blast with this event!
