Theme idea for my dad's 58th birthday?

Question

It will be very small. He is going through a divorce w/ my mom. He likes classic rock. He is in construction. He loves computers. He was sorta hippy like back in the days.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Then you definitely want to do a "hippy" theme, from the early 70's ....  Bright neon colors (paper plates & decorations are easy to find in a craft store/ Walmart, or wherever they sell patio decorations - and they'll be on sale now - Hobby Lobby has lots of great stuff) ......Play the music he loves:  CCR, Doors, Cream, Hendrix & Joplin, Iron Butterfly, etc.....   But, you could still serve chips, nuts, etc. in construction hats (as bowls).  Just do a simple "man-food" BBQ:  sausages & burgers;  potato casserole, coleslaw, fruit salad - brownies & pie for dessert

Answer 2

Hippy theme...remember, Woodstock? Plus the music would be from the mid to late 50s (Elvis & others) as well as definitely all classic rock from the 60s. Love beads, long wild hair, tanborines, black lights w/ the light up posters, etc....he'll love that! Best of luck!

Answer 3

How about a 70s theme. Or his favorite rock group? You could have a lot of fun with the whole 70s era. Nice of you to do this for him,have a great time

Answer 4

Have him a bar-b-que and play some classic rock that he would enjoy. The theme could be a birthday bar-b-que.

Answer 5

Hippy party or rockstar party

Answer 6

cars? Like a good old fashioned Jag or Merc.

Maybe James Bond? Or just like u said classic rock?

Answer 7

hookas

big pillows to sit on the floor and smoke

no limo for your dad, he can arrive in a big old van haha

if a friend play the guitar that would be great

food nothing fancy, and better if they dont have to use utensils to eat!

Answer 8

pirate theme. dads love that campy stuff.

Answer 9

I would go to a nice restaurant and have a nice dinner.  And have an "Elvis" impersonator drop by.  Classic Rock . . Elvis!!!  Just make sure it's a decent "Elvis".  Not sure where you are from, if the Boston area check out www.elvisofboston.com  Everybody enjoys Elvis so it would be something for everyone to have fun with.
