Invitation wording for a 50th birthday party?

ntsassy

My husband and I will both turn 50 this year. We're catering an outdoor party (live band, bbq, outdoor movie, etc.) Can anyone help with the wording for the invitation? Something funny? The 'only' thing I want people to bring is their lawn chairs. There will be about 75 people attending - mostly adults, some children.

I also need help in deciding how much liquor to have on hand. I'll probably buy 2 kegs as far as beer is concerned. I have a margarita machine. Any ideas?

Answer
I have been hearing a lot of Fabulous at Fifty . You could say something like; Come join us for double the fun- Fabulous at Fifty- You could also say something like; What could be better than BBQ and Beer- No presents just bring yourself and a seat for some outdoor fun, See you there.

Need help planning a 16th birthday party?

My daughter's 16th birthday isn't until 2011, but I have no idea where to start, so I am just gathering information and ideas.

It is not going to be a formal "Sweet 16" with all the girls and guys and fancy dresses, just like a big birthday party. She said she would have about 30 friends, so altogether, including the family, we estimate will be between 60-75 people. We know someone who will contribute the cake for the party, so that is not a problem. I would prefer to have someone cater, and would definitely need to do it in some kind of hall or something. I was thinking:

Community Center?
do our own invitations and decorations
have the food catered
maybe hire a freelance photographer (One of the parents I know does this)
We also know a close friend of family that can DJ

I had also thought of sectioning out an area of a restaurant, but then we can't play loud music, which is a big deal. Catering Halls are Super Expensive, and doing it at home is completely out of the question.

Also do I have to give "souveneris" or whatever they are called ...Keepsakes?


I've never done a 16 party, and never been to one, so I have no idea..Thanks

Answer
what about giving the party a theme?
like for example, barbie, if she's into hair extensions, fake tan etc.
or alice in wonderland?
or old hollywood
or guys and dolls etc,
my 16th is coming up, i've themed everything




INVITES
you could roll them up and tie them with a bow
also, if you print the invites on photo paper it makes them look professional,

DRINKS
will alcohol be served? if so, thinkgs WILL get damaged, and there will be stuff happenning, one of my friends mums let her have a ''little bit'' ,we all got wrecked, someone who shall not be name was sick, i ended up doing stuff with this guy, it was horrible, id recommend you don't serve it lol.
soem themes might call for pink drinks, ie pink lemonade, or whatever, remember you can use food colouring. or perhaps cocktail umbrellas if the theme is sophisticated?

FOOD
nibbles ;D
use food colouring again.
you could use cookie cutters based on the theme, that'd be well cool man: L
or like, stuff that fits a theme, perhaps pineaplle etc for a tropical theme, lots of chocolate for a hollywood thing, etc

FAVOURS.
something which fits in with the theme ;)
ie, idk, if it was a hollywood theme, sunglasses for everyone, etc


hope you like this idea.
sorry if i impose,
but coulod you pelase try and answer my question?
