The 50th birthday celebration was kept simple. The obvious color of choice was, of course, black. I threw in a few different colors to keep with the "party" aspect of it. "over the hill" banners were hung at either end of the room to mirror oneanother. To tie the tables together, I used black plastic and had confetti on each. 50 balloons were both inflated with helium and on the floor. It was a luncheon, so there was another room off to the side with finger sandwiches, crackers and cheese, lemonade and coffee. After the guests were seated and had eaten, there was a "roast" of the birthday girl which consisted of a few close friends and family each getting up to tell an embarrassing story and to poke fun at the honorary guest, with a little love thrown in. There were 2 cakes present at the party, one especially for the birthday girl, who loves sunflowers, and another to serve to the guests. It was important to the birthday girl that there be no presents, just the presence of her friends. We had decided on 2 charities to give to, with drop boxes and both a matte to sign and black cardstock to leave a message for the birthday girl on, all located at a table by the entrance.
