ideas for a speechish thing at a party?

Kirsten

my grandma is having her 70th on june 7th and my family is having a huge surprise party for her. i am supposed to be saying something, as in a speechish kinda thing. i can't sing, i can't write poems (and i looked online but most poems were for funerals or poems from 4 year olds) i could write a story or something but idk what to write about. any ideas r appreciated.

Answer
Thank for the invitation to give a birthday speech.

Congratulate the person whose birthday it is.

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY ITSELF

Mention a nice, funny or emotional moment at the party till now.

If you are one of the people who organized the party: look ahead. What's coming up next? Lunch, dinner, you are moving to another location, room or place later this day or evening, other speakers, maybe mystery guest?

Mention the special circumstances, if appropriate. For instance think about the weather, the location, the number of people who are attending the birthday party, and so on. Look around and use your imagination.
What age? Is it a jubilee year? Is it a 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th, 60th or a 70th birthday speech, or even a 80th, 90th or 100th? Did she said something herself about reaching this age? Mention this unique number and its merits and uniqueness.

Glance back at the past years of her life. Can you name some special facts or insight stories about the place and date of birth? To broaden your range of possible topics for a birthday speech:

* What happened today in history?
* Are there memorable events on the date of birth?
* Was she born at a special place?
* Is she happily married? Describe this relationship.
* Children, grandchildren?
* Other notewirthy developments within the scope of the family ties? Mention those themes and don't forget to congratulate her family.

ROAST A LITTLE BIT

Tease and roast the celebrant, but avoid any personal speech topics that might upset the celebrant or a guest.

Roast the birthday girl or boy a little bit. Can you characterize her personality?
What have other people said about her?

Mention her talents, hobbies or passions.

Are there noteworthy developments or achievements in her work and career? What has she always wanted to be?

What are her pet topics?

What are her values of life? How does she propagate them?

THE FUTURE

Look ahead to her future. What were and/or are her goals or hopes in life? Do you think she will succeed? Be optimistic and supportive. Or - if you want to spoof somewhat - tell your disagreeing point of view with a wink...

I'd like to throw a party but want something fun and different. None of my friends acts or feels 60. Any ideas???

Answer
I have a good Adult theme party. I recently hosted a "tacky social" for a group that I belong with. I sent out flower power invitations stating the time, date, place etc... With huge print stating that they come dressed in their tackiest. The invitation stated that the "queen of tacky" would be voted on, and the winner "crowned". The decorations were everything you could think of.. Christmas decorations, Easter decorations, happy new year banners, happy birthday banners... Every kind of Christmas and Halloween light you could think of... All these draped and stuck anywhere and everywhere... Even the bathroom! Most were upside down and off center. For entertainment, we played pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs and twister... Boy, you don't see grown woman doing this often!! :o) We had a mix of music from the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's on in the background. We had tacky finger foods and sloppy joes for dinner. I bought the cheapest, no-name brand drinks (sodas, wine & beer.) I hired a very cheesy dancer for our "main entertainment", who came dressed like a nerd, and danced horribly. {on purpose.} Oh, and you should see the way these woman showed up dressed! We had everything from a 100% polyester bowling leisure suit made for a man {but worn by a woman}, to a woman who showed up wearing thigh high leather lace up boots, a leather miniskirt and a bandana for a top!! Those tacky outfits I listed, and everything in between! plaids & polka dots, YOU NAME IT!! It was soo much fun. We have never laughed so hard and had so much fun! At the end of the night we voted on who was dressed the tackiest, and the winner was crowned with a tiara and sash that said" queen of tacky." And she was given a bunch of ugly fake flowers. To enhance the whole "tacky" feeling, I set out all different style/color/themed plates /napkins/plasticware/ glasses and had paisley tablecloths and dead flowers. If you decide to throw a tacky social, you and your guests will have SO MUCH FUN!!!! I still have people come up to me and tell me they need to think of a reason to throw a "tacky social". ENJOY!

Bibe Verse to Honor Grandmother?

kb_roddey

My grandmother is turning 100 this year and we are planning a party to honor her. I would like a bibe verse to include on the invitation. For her 90th birthday, we used "Her children arise and call her blessed ..."

Answer
"Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come." Psalms 71:18

Tell your Grandmother that she has done a good job, for even her grandchildren give praise unto the Lord.I hope and pray that she has a wonderful birthday.

My Grandmother is turning 90 in August, what type of party would be the best to throw for her?

KathyB

I am throwing her a birthday party.. an open invitation for all of her family members... and I was wondering as to where to start as far as food is concerned... go potluck? or where do I start in making and buying the food??? Any advice will be appreciated. Right now, i'm starting at scratch!
No sarcasms pls.. i'm serious about this.

Answer
Keep in mind that Grandma's appetite is probably a lot smaller than when she was younger and she may have a bit more trouble eating some things so keep it simple. Nothing hard or messy to eat like ribs. Potluck works well especially if you give each person an idea of what to bring so you don't end up with duplicates of everything. Different kinds of meatballs ( sweet and sour, etc. ), fried chicken, salads, fancy finger sandwiches, pickles, olives, a variety of cheeses, lasagna, coldcuts, devilled eggs, some homemade bread or rolls, and a variety of squares, cookies and dainties (as they used to call them), ice cold lemon aide and lots of tea. If Grandma enjoys a certain alcoholic beverage have it on hand or a bottle of champayne for a toast to her health. She will probably not have the stamina to handle a party that goes on for hours so by keeping the time for heating up or preparing foods to a minimum more time can be spent visiting with her. If it's a nice day outside decorate the yard with balloons and streamers with a specially decorated chair for grandma and have the party outdoors picnic style. She probably doesn't get to spend as much time outside as she used to and would really enjoy it. Tape some old music that was popular in her younger years to play in the background with a special song just for her,( let me call you sweetheart?) and get her up to waltz to it if shes able. If not type out the words to some old songs, hand them out to everyone and sing along with her. Get the kids to put together a skit to perform for her. Seniors love remenising so perhaps search out the internet put together a list of things that happened the day or year she was born and read them to her. A birthday cake should be the highlight of the day. Take lots of pictures and present her with a Signed guestbook as a keepsake of her special day. On my Mothers 80th and my Fathers 90th birthdays we contacted the Government and they were given beautiful commemorative plaques and framed certificates and congratulatory letters from the government. I don't know if they do that where you live but my parents felt so honored by this.
Please excuse spelling errors...spell check not working.

Vintage Birthday party ideas?

Ashley

For my 15th birthday I want to throw a vintage themed party! What type of decorations would I need, what type of cake and what type of music should I have? Also, what type of food do you think would match this theme? Thanks(:

Answer
Sounds like it could be a cool party, but 'vintage' can refer to anything more than a few years old. Maybe you could narrow the focus a little? You could pick a decade theme - 20's could be flappers and strings of pearls ala gatsby; 30s is great depression, so probably not the best party, haha, same with 40's (the war); 50's is pretty cute - fitted prints and hourglass shapes, high wastes, like mad men era. 60's is obvious, hippies and stuff; 70's disco, and head scarves, and the rise of 'lounge wear'; 80's madonna and hair metal, jean jackets and punky styles; 90's is pushing it a little

If you wanted to make a more general vintage theme, I guess you could sort of pick-and-choose from retro items and just have a lot going on. It would be kitschy, and it could be cool, but it wouldn't be consistent.

One kind of really great vintage party is a Garden Party. The idea is that it's a semi-formal, chic cocktail party that would happen in a garden (or in a yard), usually in the late afternoon, or at night with paper lanterns strung up. Women would wear sundresses and floral gowns/ jewel tones and heels (anything but dark colors and heavy fabrics). Men could wear normal suits, but were also invited to wear lighter colored suits and jackets, and be more creative in prints and colors than if it were black tie. You serve light, cold refreshments: hors d'oeuvres, finger sandwiches, chilled soups, etc - and to drink, crisp, clear beverages - iced tea, lemonade, punch, sparkling white wine, cocktails with light, sweet liqueurs like St Germaine. The cake can be anything, but I think something light and airy would be appropriate, maybe a tall, spongy cake with a thick, fluffy white icing, hint of lemon or something.

Decor: for a Garden Party, of course the 'garden' is the most important component. But that doesn't mean you have to be limited to a backyard! A few years ago in college, I actually threw a garden party, and it was widely considered the best party of that year. I didn't have a garden, but my apartment was pretty spacious. I moved all the furniture out of the living room, except a big table which I put against the far wall, and put down an retro-looking table cloth (anything will do, stripes, gingham, pale pink cotton or even lace doilies/ table runner!), and used that for the finger food and punch. I was really proud - I managed to find this gorgeous antique crystal punch bowl with a set of matching crystal cordial glasses. To decorate the table further, I had an antique birdcage full of flowers, and a garland of flag bunting on the wall behind it. Also, if you can find those glass (or plastic) pedestals/ covers for your food, that would be perfect :)

So, to deal with the fact that my 'garden' was inside, I had to transform my living room into a garden. I borrowed some potted plants, and had a lot of plants around. I also made flowers out of pastel-colored tissue paper (tutorials online) and hung them up on rows of white string lights, and it was a cool effect. Alongside the paper lanterns and an old-fashioned table lamp, I had some great indirect lighting that made everything look like sunset :) I set out some lawn furniture, and bought an old-fashioned notebook to use as a Guestbook, in which everyone wrote a little note for me, which I still cherish, and people had a great time! Everyone got really into the theme and looked amazing, I couldn't have been happier with it. Also, for invitations, I wrote them on a ribbon I tied to the stem of fake flowers that I handed out in school. But I was thinking another cool idea would be to buy some old picture postcards from an antique shop and write them on that. Handwriting is key, there were no shortcuts back then!

Music: the garden party is a good theme because it's pretty general within the vintage realm. Chic, fancy people held garden parties pretty consistently until about the 70s, so it's pretty classic and open to interpretation. But because it's mostly a cocktail party, the best music should be subtle, pleasant and not distracting from conversation. I recommend you listen to the following cool old-timey musicians, and see which of these fit in most with your aesthetic:
Fats Waller, George Gershwin, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Chico Buarque, Astrud Gilberto, Bobby Darin, Leslie Gore, Frank Sinatra, Andrews Sisters, Serge Gainsbourg, Nancy&Lee, Velvet Undergound, Patsy Cline, The Shangri-Las....

I totally got carried away with this, but I hope you have the best birthday party ever :)
