Turning 60 is a really, big deal! A milestone that
deserves a fitting celebration. These days, there are no rules, when it comes
to celebrating YOU! The most important part of any celebration, are the
memories you’re left with, when it’s over. Have a giant, lavish party if you
like, or keep it small , with just a few close friends. The possibilities are
endless, and inspiration is everywhere! Whether you choose to go
nostalgic, adventurous, or just plain silly, here are some ideas, sure to
create some meaningful memories!
1.
Diamond Jubilee
Turning 60, is the Diamond
anniversary of your birth. Why not celebrate this “milestone” with sparkle and
style? From decorations to clothing, sparkly bling is everywhere. Start with your
guest of honor. Making them shine with a birthday sash, or special
shirt, is a must! Next, these sipping jars are a great way to dress up
your table! Also, try sprinkling confetti, or loose rhinestones around.
Rhinestones and glitter provide countless DIY possibilities, for a celebration
that will really shine!
2.
Color Theme
What’s your favorite color?
Building a party around a certain color can be easy, and a lot of fun!
Ask your guests to come wearing whatever color you have picked. From head to
toe, your guests will be walking dancing decorations! Speaking of decorations,
you can find everything you need, in almost any color you like. Also, try using
strands of colored lights, to really set the mood! And don’t stop there!
You can even create menu that revolves around your color of choice. Go Ahead…
Add a few drops of food coloring to that dip, and turn it blue!

Destination Celebration
A trip with your besties is the
perfect way to make your 60th unforgettable! Maybe it’s a girls
cruise to the Bahamas or the Mexican Riviera. Perhaps an all-inclusive resort
or a tour through wine country. From Bourbon Street to Vegas, the possibilities
are endless! Pack light, but be sure to include a special birthday accessory,
like a tiara, or a custom t-shirt... let everyone will know it’s your
birthday!
4. 60’s Theme
You don’t
need to remember much about this decade to have fun with it! Decorate with
colorful flowers, tie dye, and peace signs. Guests will love showing up in tie
dyed shirts, or with a flower in their hair! Spin some classic vinyl, and make
it a night to remember!
5. Western Theme
If your
birthday venue happens to be a beautiful, rustic barn, consider a western
theme. Bales of hay, country flowers, and some strings of clear lights will
create an adorable setting. If you’re more of a honky-tonk girl, then hire a
D.J. and make sure you have lots of space for dancing!
6. Thelma and Louise
Rent a
convertible, and hit the road with the girls! You don’t have to plan every
minute of this trip, to make it a great weekend get-away. Pick your stopping
point for the night, but be spontaneous! Stop and do whatever interests you
along the way. Check out the World’s largest frying pan, or stop for lunch at a
great roadside burger stand. Whatever you do, remember to take lots of selfies
with your girls, every step of the way!
7. Saturday Night Fever
No
doubt, the birthday girl has fond memories of this decade! A 70’s themed party
is a great way to really get your guests involved. People will love dressing up
in their 70’s gear, and dancing the night away! You don’t need much for a
70’s party when all of your guests are in costume. Just get some great music
ready, dim the lights, and of course… don’t forget the disco ball! Also, think
about serving some trendy, 70’s style snacks, like melon balls or fondue!
8. The surprise party
If the
guest of honor likes surprises, then you can’t go wrong with this one. There’s
nothing like walking into a room, full of people you weren’t expecting to see!
Surprise your birthday girl with an It’s My Birthday Tote Bag. Have all
of the surprise guests sign it for a lasting keepsake!
9. Party like a rock star
Channel
your rock star with a karaoke party. Whether in your home, or at a favorite
karaoke bar, grab a microphone and sing your heart out! Make sure you look good
doing it, and wear a Birthday Diva flowy tank top. Your guests will love
serenading you on your birthday!
10. Movie Theme
What was
your favorite movie growing up? Maybe it was Grease… Or The Rocky Horror
picture Show. Throw a movie themed party by recreating a set from the movie.
Ask your guests to dress as their favorite character, and include as many
references to the movie as you can. You can print out favorite quotes or still
pictures from the movie, and use them to decorate, too!
11. Bucket list party
Turning
60 is surely something you want to commemorate with a memorable activity. Find
something to check off your bucket list, then celebrate with your friends
when you’re done. Go sky diving, or run a marathon, and have all of your
friends waiting at the landing zone or finish line! Have a nice BBQ or picnic,
and don’t forget to wear an It’s my birthday bitches sash!
12. Crazy cat lady
Do you
love cats? Have a cat themed party! Call a local shelter or cat rescue. Many of
them will bring kittens or cats, available for adoption, for you and your
guests to visit and snuggle. Get some cat inspired decorations, cat shaped
cookies, and come up with some cat themed games. It’s sue to be the purrfect
celebration for any cat lover!
