Looking for brilliant 50th birthday party ideas?
Turning fifty is a big deal. A 50th birthday is important. It shows you managed to stay on the correct side of the dirt. It also means being able to understand life, remember all of the tears and happy moments….except now you can’t remember where you put your glasses. (Try on top of your head.)
If you need some great 50th birthday party ideas, try these on for size:
- Take them on a hot air balloon ride where you can celebrate that colonoscopy in style.
- What about riding horseback? Just make sure the walker can fit onto the saddle. Horses spook so easily…
- How about telling them over and over how they are over the hill? We are sure they will just love that. Of course they might club you to death with their cane.
- You could take them fishing. After all, old fishermen never really die; they just kind of smell that way.
- How about jumping out a cake? When they clutch at their heart it means they got the joke.
Our Best Advice for a Wonderful 50th Birthday Party
Listen, they are fifty. Not five hundred. Yes, they have lived a bit, that is why they deserve a fun 50th birthday party. They have seen it all and have probably done more of it than you would like to think about. (Try not to visualize. Poking out your mind’s eye hurts.)
Like Nancy Reagan, just say no to bad parties. (And yes, we are old enough to remember her.) Forget the cheesy 50th birthday party with black armbands and candy vultures on the cake.
Now a real vulture, that could be cool. Or not. Too many of the guests might feel like they are being stalked.
Make their 50th birthday really special and bring them to the Arlington Improv instead. They can get a great meal, cold drinks and enjoy laugh out loud comedy acts that will make them wet their pants laughing.
It all depends on you. (Which, come to think of it, may not be a bad gift idea.)
The Improv. We do the funny.
