For my husband's 50th, before the party, we had family and friends from all over the country phone in memories, stories, and birthday well-wishes. All the stories were stored onto a keepsake CD which we played at the party. We arranged for all this at a website called LifeOnRecord.com
It was a huge hit, and my husband was really touched by the folks that had recorded their messages, even if they couldn't be there.
Look up what else is turning fifty this year; do a search for "things turning 50". That might give you some creative ideas. Happy birthday!
When my husband turned '60', on the invitation we wrote: In lieu of gifts, please bring any type or amount of pet food, treats or litter, which will be donated to the local humane society in my husband's name. We were overwhelmed with the generosity of our family and friends 'gifts'. When we dropped off the 'booty' to the shelter, the staff was shocked and grateful for the items. My husband was so proud to do this - being a life-long animal lover. Total of food, treats and litter donated: 265 pounds! It was awesome! My husband even received a Thank You note from the shelter, signed by all the staff and volunteers.
I have never understood the theme parties. Can't you just have some people in for cake and coffee and good conversation? That is what the people that I know do.
I would like some unique idea's for a man's 50th Birthday. I don't want to have the usual over the hill black balloons etc.
Any suggestions on my finance's 50th birthday in September?
