Answer 2

You should begin by setting a budget. How much money do you have to spend? Are there any close relatives that can help you pay for it? Don't assume that just because you're organizing it, that you have to do all the work or pay for it all.

What does your mother like to do? Does she have a hobby?

Maybe she's always wanted to go somewhere (like Hawaii, Caribbean, Paris?) but has never been able to go. Make one of those places the theme for the party and set up your house, yard, or wherever, to look like that place. Once you have a theme, share the idea with your crew of helpers.

Give friends and family different jobs: Invitations, decorations. Let someone plan the menu, let another person ask close family and friends to help make food (unless you can afford to cater this party). Keep track of who has what job too & their emails & phone number.

Maybe you and your sister can write (or print out) some nice facts about your mother on pretty stationery, cut it into strips and then roll it up, tie it in a ribbon (like little scrolls) and put them in a basket. When guests arrive they can each take one out of the  basket (sort of like a favor). If you're not having too many people and you have the time each guest can read their fact aloud. Otherwise people will just open them during the night and compare them!

Does someone you know play an instrument? Have CDs that she'd like?

Who do you know that would just love the chance to play photographer? Or else just put a few disposable cameras around and let everyone take photos.

Have a poster board with a picture of your mom doing something fun or one where she looks good, and have everyone sign it like one big card.

Once  you pick your theme you'll be surprised at how easy it will be to think of things to do.

Most of all be prepared with a few tissues when she sees how much you loved her and how hard you all worked just to make her birthday so special!

Answer 3

An Adult Social , With Her Closet Friends

Answer 4

Do an '80's party ...... She was a teenager/early 20's in the 80's, and most people love the music that they listed to as a teenager........Actually, someone asked about doing an 80's party (about 10 questions after yours), and there are some good ideas there.  I think that was the Olivia Newton-John era (oversized sweatshirts, off one shoulder, leggings, leg warmers, headbands) - maybe Duran Duran, Arrythmics, Wham, Bananarama for music too

Answer 5

Invite her closest friends and family members and treat them to dinner somwhere! It will be fun for everyone, plus you won't have a mess to clean up afterwards whereas if it was at your house... you would have a mess! -good luck

Answer 6

Do a Mary Kay Party... First you need to find sum 1 that sells Mary Kay in your area... then have your mom invite her closest friends. They get to try products, plus your mom will get free stuff!!!! It is really worth it. My mom used to sell Mary Kay, and It wuz fun to get to try on a bunch of different products... she did parties all the time!!!
