Whether you're hosting a 50th birthday party for yourself or for a loved one, you'll want to make a statement with eye-catching decorations. Focusing on details is the best way to make a 50th birthday party elegant. When celebrating a 50th birthday at a venue where there are several tables, it creates a cohesive look to decorate the tables to fit the theme of the birthday party. Among the details of party planning, don't forget to factor in all the necessities for a festive party table. Use yellows, reds and blues for a cheerful and whimsical feel, or decorate in sedate maroon and gold for a more formal feel.
Drape a tablecloth on the table that coordinates with the color scheme. Choose a runner that complements the color of the tablecloth. Use family-heirloom tableware, silverware and decorative glass and china pieces to decorate your tables. Purchase over-the-hill table covers, paper plates, paper cups, napkins, paper straws and party favors. Build a centerpiece out of wooden numbers, which are available at craft stores. Serve crowd-pleasing, yet elegant, dishes at the birthday party.
Ask a cocktail-knowledgeable friend to create a special mixed drink for the party in honor of the birthday guest. A very elegant 50th birthday color theme would be to order burgundy and deep-hued flowers with white, gold or silver accents.
Choose a theme for the party and tie that to your 50th birthday party table decorations. Decorating the tables of the event adds ambiance and creates a welcoming atmosphere that invites guests to sit and enjoy themselves. Over the Hill parties are passé now that 50 is the new 30!
