50th Birthday Decorations

Cheers for 50 Years!

A fiftieth birthday is something to celebrate! Hitting "vintage" status isn't an event that should go by without some festivities, so start planning well before the big day for a shindig that will be one for the history books.

Decorate in Style

The decorations chosen for a fiftieth birthday party should reflect the style of the guest of honor ¿ and should also correspond with their feelings on reaching this milestone birthday. While you might think it's hilarious to decorate the event space in all black as if mourning, a person who is less-than thrilled by advancing age might not feel festive in such decor.

50th Birthday Wording Suggestions

1. Say vintage, not over the hill.
2. Say 50 is fabulous, not
3. Say aged to perfection, not caution: old age ahead
4. Say 50 is the new 25(x2), not shifty fifty

Fun Ideas for 50th Birthday Parties

Fiftieth birthday parties are a great time to have a fun theme (or two). What theme should you use for a 50th birthday? The answer depends on what the guest of honor would find most amusing.

Fat Fifty Party

Fat Tuesday is the literal translation of "Mardi Gras," the annual celebration of indulgence leading up to the Lenten season. A Fat Fifty birthday party should include plenty of Mardi Gras decorations and an abundance of indulgences like pastries, candies and other sweet treats.

Fabulous Fifties Party

The 1950s were an iconic time of soda jerks and hot rods. Celebrate a 50th with a 50s Party complete with poodle skirts and crooners.

A Golden Celebration

Fifty is often called the "golden birthday" since fiftieth anniversaries are considered golden anniversaries. A Golden Birthday Party should feature gold decorations and swanky dress from all the guests.

A Parting Party

Here's the party for those who want to rib at the guest of honor a little. Celebrate life while laughing at mortality with a funeral-esque party. You'll need lots of black decorations and ask guests to arrive dressed for mourning. A Party of Mourning is only appropriate when the guest of honor finds it funny. Caution: This type of party can backfire if the birthday person finds it offensive.

The Great Things About Being 50

With age comes wisdom, and by the time a person reaches fifty years of age they probably already know what is important to them and what is trivial.

3. You have to take care of your body.
