Answer
As baby boomers enjoy life well into their retirement years, Sweet 60 doesn't have to mean over the hill.
---Invitations---
Along with the where, when and RSVP details, use appropriate greetings for the front cover of the invitation indicating the specific party theme and a headline reading "Sexy Sixty", "The Big 6 - Oh!", Sweet 60", "or "Sixty is Nifty!"
---Party Theme Ideas---
The "Over the Hill" theme has always been easy and popular, but you can also opt for a theme centered around the celebrants favorite leisure activity. A sports theme party or a luau is always fun, or take a trip down memory lane with a tribute to the decade in which the birthday boy or girl grew up, such as the 50's or 60's.
A surprise party may take a little extra work, but with a bit of planning it can provide special excitement and lots of happy memories.
---60th Birthday Gift Ideas---
Gift-giving at a 60th birthday party is simplicity itself - whether it be 5 dozen roses, 10 six-packs of beer or soda, or 60 lottery tickets.
Create something more personal by arranging a memory book or scrapbook filled with favorite photos and keepsakes. Ask friends and loved ones to e-mail special birthday wishes well in advance to be included with the photos, or print-out the e-mails and pin them up separately on a decorated bulletin board.
---Party Food---
You can work in the Sweet 60 theme with another great idea: substitute the birthday cake with 60 individual cupcakes, served on a tiered party tray. Also try to include foods that everyone will enjoy, including low salt or sugar-free drinks for those on dietary restrictions. As with any party, self-serve is way to go, making for easy mingling around the buffet table.
If in doubt, skip the "lame" prune juice and Jello. The food should be centered around the guest of honor's favorites!
