I am throwing a surprise 60th party for my parents in early Nov. Mom's b-day is next week, Dad's in December so are doing a combo party since a bunch of folks are coming in from out of town.

I need help wording the invites. . .have been stressing over it and I need to get them out soon!!!


All I can come up with is yuck!!. . . . .

David and Sandy are turning 60 I realize
Please join us for a party of surprise
Let's help them celebrate 60 with a touch of class
And make some fun memories sure to last


PLease help!! We are doing a afternoon heavy appetizer/drinks party. Nothing over the hill or like that since Mom is a little sensitive about the big 60!!

Thank you!!

David and Sandy are the perfect pair
Why, they were even born in the same great year!
Please come join us in the celebration
As they greet turning 60 with jubilation!!


Okay, maybe it is hokey, but there's one for you!!

LOVE IT!!! Thanks!!

I can't top Jennifer's (she is really good at these), but this is the one I used for my mom's 60th in July -
Hey Hey, Ho Ho,
Kate is turning the big 6 - 0.

Not very original, but the best I could do! I really like Jennifer's!

My parents both turned 70 last year, and our theme was "70 reasons to celebrate".

We made up our own invitation - it included a nice picture of the two of them and the theme"70 Reasons to Celebrate" at the top. The we had a who, what, where and when line.
It turned out really nice. On a second page we included a map to the party location, a few other details, and a request that in lieu of gifts everyone write a letter to both or either of them reminiscing about some special event or time they shared together. Finally, we got a big clay platter from own of those make your own pottery places and had everyone sign it at the party. Then we had it fired and glazed as a permanent momento. They loved it!

That's a great idea!! I was going to have evryone bring/send a card in lieu of gifts with a special memory or photo that I could scrapbook for them as a momento.

Love the pottery idea!!!
