- Several new dances came about with the innovation of jazz and the blues, so pay tribute with a dance steps map created just for your invitations! On a piece of white card stock, draw little shoe prints in various dance steps with the numbered lines indicating the proper direction for the dance. If you aren't familiar with the correct order of things, then invent your own – these are just for fun! Add a message such as "Take a step towards (name)'s 60th birthday party! Join us for a night in the 1920's for a roaring good time!" Add the time, date, and location of the party.
- For a feminine touch, use a piece of sparkling card stock or scrap book paper and cut from it the shape of a "flapper" dress. Add a fringe to the bottom of the dress with heavy thread or fine yarn and guests will dance the Charleston when they see your party invitation scrawled across the front: "Kick up your feet and dance with us! (Name) is celebrating 60 in a big way, and you're invited!" Include the time, date, and location.
- Extra, extra! Read all about it! Use tan scrapbook paper that resembles an old newspaper and write or print your headline in bold letters. Add a photo of the celebrant to the front page news for a great effect, then add the city or town to give it an authentic feel. Your front page story can read: "(Name) is an amazing 60 years old! This party is already the talk of the town, and you can see it first hand by arriving at (location) on (date) at (time)! See you there!"

60th Birthday Party Ideas for Food
Enjoy some of these favorites at your 60th birthday party!
Drinks don't have to be boring! Consider one or more of these choices.
- Serve sparkling grape juice or sparkling cider for a touch of class without adding alcohol. These choices look simply elegant in
wine glasses for a toast!
- Offer coffee to your guests. Serve with cream, sugar, flavored syrup, and milk.
- You can't go wrong with soft drinks. A selection of colas and lemon-lime varieties will please almost everyone, and adding bottled water to the mix is sure to satisfy the remaining few!
Plan your menu with these 60th birthday party ideas, and make sure there's plenty to go around!
- Shrimp with cocktail sauce is a great appetizer!
- Pasta is an easy party dish, and you can serve it to please anyone! Set out a big dish of cooked pasta and flank it with two crock pots full of warm sauces – one white, and one red. Pile garlic bread on a nearby platter to complete the meal.
- Offer a selection of cheeses, meats, crackers, and breads for an all-encompassing deli platter. Cheddar and white cheeses are nicely complimented by ham, turkey, smoked sausage, and a selection of condiments.
- For easy and elegant sandwiches, prepare chicken or tuna salad and spread on white or wheat bread. Remove the crust and cut into four pieces per sandwich. If you serve both varieties, cut one into triangles and the other into squares so guests will be able to tell them apart.
Top off your party with one of these great desserts!
- Cupcakes are easy to make and serve. Make them sparkle with your 1920's them by icing them in white and sprinkling with edible gold glitter.
- An occasion this big deserves a big cake! Bake several tiers of round cake in descending sizes, for example a 12" round, a 10" round, and so on. Ice the largest layer with white icing, then center the next largest on top of it. Continue stacking them from largest to smallest, then decorate each "ledge" with flowers or a decorative border. Write "Happy 60th Birthday" on top to finish it up.
- Add a great photo to a sheet cake by taking it to professional party store and requesting to have it scanned onto an edible wafer. For just a few dollars they'll give you a full color photo that you can slice and eat! Choose one from the past or a great current shot, then add a caption such as "60 and Better than Ever! Happy Birthday (Name)!"
