We are planning a surprise birthday party for my mom. She will turn 70. Any suggestions on the theme?

Question

My mom is a very "young" 70 year old. I am trying to pick a theme for her party. Someone suggested doing a theme from her era but I am not sure what that would be. She was born in 1938. Does anyone have any ideas at all or know of a site I could go to?

Answer 1

How about a late 50s/60s theme? Assuming that was when she was partying :) You could have her favorite music, food, clothing etc from then. Or search the music charts, movies, TV shows for inspiration. Also maybe a big photo collage of her. You can find heaps of sites with suggestions for era theme parties by google-ing it. Or If she's told you about a time that was really great for her you could try and recreate it. I'm sure it would make a fun party and probably bring back some great memories for her.

Good luck :)

Answer 2

i think you should try the 60's....thats when she was a teenager and having fun in her life....bring back the old memories for her!!!

Answer 3

why not do the oppostie of something young and hip.. do something like in the 18oo's,  like have everydress really old fashioned and serve old style food. unless she is a little sensitive she could crack it due to thinking your picking on her age.

or you could do something really moddern, get lazer lights and make it into like a night club themed room and have like all the modern techno music playing.

Answer 4

Dont surprise her too much or she'll have a  heart attack.
