A 50th Birthday Bash With Style By: Gail Leino
Turning 50 years old is quite the milestone that should be celebrated in an appropriate fashion. For some, 50 years old is the golden age of living. Why not celebrate a 50th birthday party in a spectacular, lavish fashion?

Let the imagination run wild with ideas for a 50th party. First, select a party theme fitting for a 50th birthday party. A theme can include anything that reflects the birthday persons taste. Party themes range from sci-fi, western, luau, rock n' roll, and sports related party themes.

The 1950's were such a great time with rock and roll leading the way; it makes a perfect way to celebrate a 50th birthday. Select party supplies and decorations associated with the 1950's such as cutouts of records, jukeboxes, inflatable guitars (or real guitars if possible), 50's movie and car posters, celebrities (Marilyn Monroe, James Dean), and sports car standees. Include 50's only music along with tableware items of blue, hot pink, and black & white checkered patterns. Everything needed to throw a 1950's is readily available.

There are lots of other options for those about to celebrate a "fab" 50th birthday. Those who are turning 50 in 2011 or the coming years can use this opportunity to celebrate a 50th birthday from the year of their birth, 1961. Play music only from 1961, movies, and decorate with movie, celebrities, and other pop culture images from that year. A retro candy box with various candies from 1961 is also nice party favors for guests as well.

No matter the theme, ensure to send invitations that indicate that it is a themed party guests are attending. A costume party with clothing from the 50's is always fun.

50th Birthday Party Games: True or False - 50th years of living means that the individual has a few stories to share. Have the birthday boy or girl right down some stores (two true and one false) and see if the guests can decipher which is the false statement. Other guests can participate as well. While there might be no winner to this game, it will surely generate a few laughs and surprises.

Use photos of the guest of honor to spark even more guessing games like Guess The Age. Gather a collection of the celebrant's photos through the years and post them on a board or wall. Have guests try to guess the ages in each photo without going over. The guest closet to the age is the winner.
