Does anyone have any wording ideas for 60th Birthday invitation?

Question

I'm trying to create invitations for my dad's 60th birthday. It's been rough for him the last 2 years and we want to celebrate. His health has been in poor condition, which caused forced early retirement on him, which by the way he is in very much denial of both health and retirement.

I'm got writer's block on this invitation. I need something simple, stating why we're celebrating, straight to the point (where, when...etc.), but still sweet at the same time. He's got a little bit of humor in him but he's conservative at the same time (as well as his buddies). I'm thinking of maybe simple rhyming and then the details....

Any help on this would be wonderful!

Thanks!

If you can find a photograph of your dad as a kid and include it in thee invitation that could be fun.

Or A Star is Born 1948 -

be a clown is a great Cole Porter song that was written in 1948. You may crib some of the words.

My uncle had a sixties party for his 60'th

flower power, and chille con carne. It was a great success.

A collage makes a good invitation.

But honestly I don't think too many words on the invitation.
