Have you got a written copy of the "comedic story of Dionysus and his love of wine and women and how things changed as he got older" that you mention? It's a great idea for a 50th b-day party!

My little sister gave me a great 50th gift. First she helped my daughter print up and frame a plaque listing 50 reasons I love my mom, then she hand painted 4 wine glasses with different designs and all having the number 50 on them somewhere, and finally she gave me a jar filled with tiny handmade envelopes containing messages with 50 happy thoughts for me. I love my little sis!

How about a 50 and Fabulous or 50 and Fantastic party?

Start with 50 pennies, then 50 nickels, then 50 dimes, then 50 quarters, then 50 1/2 dollars, then 50 $1.00 bills. give them on consecutive days with the 50 $1.00 being the actual Birthday

How about "50 Years Young"? or "Aged to Perfection"? Both of those are upbeat themes. Maybe do a collage of photos of his life, include school photos, military pictures, wedding photos, old drivers licenses and the cars he once owned.

RE: Unique 50th Birthday Ideas
We through a party for my Mom's 50th with a Flashback party. We research events that took place the year before (whilst in womb), the year of and the year after her birth. We found items that fit, record albums from the thrift store, hula hoops, saddle shoes, but also items that were important to history and politics and science. We used the items as centerpeices on the tables and we placed cards underneath each item and we played trivial pursuit (shout out version) as a group. Which was enormous fun. We only played relevant music and we even learned the older dance moves and taught the guest. We had period items of clothes around and everyone truly got into the spirit. My Mother cried at the end of the night and said that beside the birth of her children she had never felt so loved and cared for. That's about the highest praise any daughter could hope for. Good luck.

50's party as in 1950's. The 50's had great music and everyone could dress in poodle skirts and leather jackets, a sock hop type thing.

Something we've done is given that person 50 (60, 70, 80... whatever age!) items to celebrate each year. For our friend who turned 50, we gave her 50 "old person" items bought at the dollar store, gotten for free or "recycled". Things like big pill boxes, Depends, fiber... We screamed with laughter at each opening.

RE: Unique 50th Birthday Ideas
When my brother turned 50, we had an "Over the Mountain" party. We printed mountain banners from the computer, and made a camping scene in the corner of the room, with sleeping bags, lanterns, and a fake campfire. We invited the guests to dress in hiking clothes, with backpacks and hiking sticks. Centerpieces were bandanas and mess kits, cans of beans, mountain pie irons, etc. Everyone loved it, and we got tons of great comments! It's a very masculine theme, and a lot more upbeat than the "over the hill" idea.

RE: Unique 50th Birthday Ideas
This is in response to the request for fresh 50th Birthday ideas. One year the wife of a friend had a 50th birthday party for her husband. We wanted to give an usual gift. We brought some fresh grapes and a bottle of olive oil as our gift to the husband. We also presented him with a tape which all the guests listened to. It was the comedic story of Dionysus and his love of wine and women and how things changed as he got older. We laughed so hard, we cried! You could put this in the context of a wine and cheese party and celebrate all the good things about ageing.
