50th Birthday Party Ideas - Celebrating Fifty Golden Years

Are you searching for 50th birthday party ideas?

There are a lot of great ideas out there when it comes to children's birthday parties, but what are some good party ideas for those turning fifty? A person's 50th birthday party can be as exciting or as quiet as they want it to be. Luckily, there is a range of ideas available when it comes to celebrating it.

Having a party at a favorite restaurant almost always goes well. A lot of restaurants have special pricing and even special menus for large parties, so it pays not only to book well in advance, but to inquire about any special arrangements that might be available. Make sure that your guests know in advance, however, whether or not they will be paying for their meal or if you will be providing the food for them.

If you don't really like the idea of renting out a space in a restaurant, then consider the 50th birthday party idea of bringing the restaurant to you. Many restaurants cater meals for small and large parties. You can create your own special and festive atmosphere right in your own house.

If your birthday person loves The Melting Pot for instance, or just fondue in general, then setting up fondue tables with cheese, breads, raw vegetables, chocolate, and desserts can be a fun way of bringing the dining experience into your own home.

If you want 50th birthday party ideas on the humorous side, then the ever-popular "funeral party" can be interesting. The decorations are black and guests are encouraged to wear mourning clothing. However, make sure that the person that you are throwing the party for has a sense of humor about this, or else it has the potential of not going very well. Indeed, it could get very awkward!

Nostalgia parties are also a fun way of remembering the past, and 50th birthday party ideas can centre around that. Recreate a restaurant from the person's childhood, or serve food and desserts that were popular when they were younger. Have a viewing of a favorite movie from the sixties or seventies and play music that was popular when the person was a teenager. Encourage guests to dress in fashion styles that were popular 30 to 40 years ago.

If you don't want to have a nostalgia party, but still like the idea of a themed party, then consider having one that plays homage to the person's interest or hobbies - those would be exciting 50th birthday party ideas, too. A casino-themed party can be a great idea, complete with blackjack tables and pretend money. On the other hand, if the person loves to travel, then a party that features food from around the world and international decorations can be a lot of fun, too.

Some people actually have trepidation about turning 50. For that reason, throwing a huge celebration and making a really big deal out of the birthday might not be in the best interest of the person having the birthday. Instead, a nice quiet dinner with a group of friends, an outing at a winery, or even a weekend away at the person's favorite getaway might be preferable over having a huge celebration with lots of people and attention.
