Golden Birthday
What is a golden birthday? It is when you are turning the same age as the date you were born.
For example, if you were born on January 16th, the year you turn 16 would be your golden birthday.
Obviously, many people celebrate a this special birthday without knowing what that it is often called this. If you are planning your event, here are some ideas to help use gold in your party theme.
Sometimes a golden celebration is expanded into a
Casino Party (think James Bond Golden Eye).
Actually, anytime you can mix a
treasure hunt
into your party plans would be fun...such as:
Western Party (adults)
Western Party (for Teens),
Pirate Party
Indiana Jones Party
Another fun idea for this birthday is to do a Willy Wonka Party, with the “Golden Ticket” as an invitation to your event!
For a party with strictly a “Golden” Theme, try these ideas:
Decorations:
Gold balloons
Hang gold stars from the ceiling
Have a gold metallic fringe curtain in the doorway for guests to walk thru
White (or gold) tables cloths
Sprinkle tables with gold confetti
Gold plates (available at the party store as disposable items). If using china, opt for gold chargers or white plates embellished with gold.
White Candles in a bed of gold marbles or rocks (you can spray paint rocks gold inexpensively!)
Activities and Games for teens and adults:
Off-Limits Game
with gold colored necklaces. Make the “off-limits” word gold
For Favors, gold costume jewelry
Activities and Games for kids:
Have a treasure hunt for “gold” – with spray painted rocks
For favors, give gold metallic bags filled with your choice of gold gel pens, chocolate coins and pretend golden jewelry.
