60th birthday parties are a wonderful excuse to get all your friends and family together to celebrate. As with any party, the important thing is to plan ahead so that everyone has a chance to collect gifts and set aside time for the birthday person. One of the things you can do with your celebration is to choose a time that was the birthday person’s favorite decade, such as the 50s, 60s or 70s. Get a little closer in memory by having the best music of the time . Dress in clothes that reflect that era and decorate the room as a favorite hangout.
A birthday dinner can be the birthday person’s favorite dish. A great 60th birthday party ideas gift is a book that takes the birthday person through their lives with lots of pictures and stories. You could try including pictures they found of the birthday person and their friends. You could even go a step further and make the memoir on your own. Family trees are a huge plus too and it’s wonderful to get them for the sake of knowledge and curiosity.
Board games and cards can be added to the list for more variety in things to do, which can help keep the party going and give guests something to do during their visit. Finally, you can collect home movies from friends and family and put them on DVD. If you are lucky enough to have this, it is great to show the DVD at the party. Someone, be it a guest, the DVD creator or the birthday person, can narrate or comment on the different movies that are played on the DVD; a great opportunity to take a trip back in time.
