Then, when you’ve finished reviewing this list, visit Peerspace (the most extensive online marketplace for event venue rentals) to find amazing birthday party venues for rent in your area.
1. Host a sophisticated wine tasting
Calling all oenophiles! For this 60th birthday party, host a wine tasting in your own home (or in a suitable birthday party venue rental), pairing delicious combinations like wine and cheese, and inviting all your closest friends to give them a try.
2. Shape your future with a vision board party
Invite all your friends to come over and make vision boards at your birthday party! It’s hard to imagine a better way to set meaningful intentions for your 60s.
3. Go vintage with a Roaring 20s party
If you’re about to turn 60, you may never have experienced the excitement of the Roaring 20s, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a party that draws inspiration from that era!
4. Make it a surprise party for your loved one’s 60th birthday
Perhaps you’re planning a party for a friend or loved one. In that case, what about a surprise party? Make sure they have no idea that it’s going to happen, so the surprise is as thrilling as possible—and don’t use this idea unless you know the birthday person loves surprises!
5. Create a time capsule together
Have all your guests bring items to put in your time capsule, and then bury it, and plan to dig it up after a suitable period—perhaps at your 70th birthday party, even!
6. Outer space is the place
Take your celebration to outer space with celestial decorations and astronaut-themed elements! You can also set up telescopes and create a cozy space for stargazing.
These far-out space party ideas will help push your party into new stratospheres of awesomeness!
7. Glam it up with a Hollywood theme
Roll out the red carpet and create a Hollywood-inspired celebration with features like a Walk of Fame and movie star decorations. A formal dress code is another way to take this theme to the next level!
8. Put on a futuristic fashion show
For a truly unique party, host a runway show for futuristic fashion creations, and encourage your guests to come dressed in their most avant-garde styles and walk down the runway.
9. Inspire amazing memories with a jazz-themed party
Transport your guests to a real live speakeasy with a jazz-themed celebration that includes dancing and your favorite classic jazz tunes.
10. Embark on a meditation retreat
Rather than your usual raucous party, how about a meditation retreat for a day? Provide your guests a serene environment and hold meditation sessions and yoga classes while providing guests with healthy, refreshing cuisine and beverages.
11. To all the literary lovers out there
If you absolutely adore reading, consider designing your celebration around your favorite books!
12. Delight your guests with a beach party
With vibrant tropical decor, refreshing co*cktails, and the soothing sound of waves in the background, your seaside-inspired soiree doesn’t even have to take place on a beach.
