Planning parties is one of my favorite things to do, and I really enjoy helping others to plan them too. It seems like the themes and decorations are where people get stuck the most, so I focused on that.

I found the best 60th birthday party ideas and put them here, all in one place.

I’m also going to share my best party-planning tips and answer some of the biggest questions people ask me. If you’re stuck in a party-planning rut, this post is for you!

Respectful and Fun 60th Birthday Themes

Turning 60 is entirely different from turning 20 or even 30. Life is different and even interests change.

So when you’re picking out a 60th birthday theme, think about the person of honor. What are their favorite colors? Use their colors as part of the theme.

Are they part of a large family that lives nearby? Then shower them with love and let everyone share their memories.

If they are a foodie, then make a “farm to table” garden party. Make the food from garden-fresh vegetables. This theme works as a Birthday Brunch as well as an afternoon gathering.

Or use their favorite sports teams as the theme. This is the perfect theme for someone that used to be an athlete, coach, or has never missed a SuperBowl.

Remember, the theme should match the personality of the person who is turning 60. It can include random things like wine and cheese or normal things like going fishing.

And you don’t really need a theme, either. I included cake and decoration ideas that don’t really match a theme. Pick and choose your favorite things and celebrate that person in your life.

Where To Buy Party Supplies

Buy party supplies wherever you like to shop the most. Walmart and Target are great places. But you can also save a bunch of money by getting decorations at thrift stores.

As you browse the cakes and party supplies in my list, look for the black “continue reading button.” That will lead you directly to places where you can buy them.

My two favorite places to buy party supplies are Amazon and Etsy. I love supporting small businesses on Etsy – even if it takes a bit longer for those items to arrive.

If you’re going to shop on Etsy, give the creators about a month to send you what you ordered. Some things are made to order and customized, so they might take longer.

If you’re on a time-crunch, then take advantage of the two-day shipping from Amazon Prime. It’s so fast and saves you so much time!

Party Drinks

After you plan the theme, decorations, and food, it’s time to plan the party drinks. Here are some of my favorite birthday party drinks. You can make almost all of them into mocktails, too.

And you might also need these recipes for Birthday Party Foods!
