Are You Planning A Party For Somebody Who Is Turning Fifty?
Is your spouse turning fifty years old? Perhaps it's a friend or another family member who is having the big 5-0 event. You might even be planning a surprise party for your boss or another person at the office. Either way, you might be looking for ideas that will help the event be a fun and memorable one for everybody who attends. From asking people to bring joke gifts to giving one major nice present, here are some ideas that might help you.
Ask Guests To Bring Joke Ideas - Set the tone of the party by sending clever invitations. For example, the invitation might have a picture of the honored guest on it with the caption, This Clown Is Turning Fifty Years Old! Come Join The Fun! Inside the invitation, besides all of the pertinent information like the date and place of the party, it might be a lot of fun to ask everybody to bring joke gifts to the party. The gift opening part of the party will more than likely turn out to be the best entertainment you could plan.
Those who attend the party will probably bring things like a walking cane, geriatric vitamins, crazy eye glasses with exceptionally thick glasses and maybe even a guide on how to fill out a will and testament. Anything to spoof the fact that the birthday person is getting to be very, very old.
Plan A Special Nice Gift - Of course, it will be a barrel of laughs for the person you are honoring to open his or her joke gifts. However, they probably won't be of much use after the celebration is over. Those who are close to the honored guest will more than likely already be planning to give a real gift apart from the joke gift they bring to the party. However, it also might be great to ask if anybody would like to participate in a joint gift that the birthday person can really use.
Depending on how many people are going to be part of the birthday celebration, consider getting something like a snazzy new purse, if the person who is turning fifty years old is a woman. If it's a guy's birthday, think of hobbies he enjoys. For example, if he loves to go fishing, think of giving him a fancy new fishing pole.
As guests leave the party, think of giving them a joke gift, too. A ridiculous pair of socks might be the perfect gift for both men and women. For more information on joke gift ideas, contact your local joke shop.
