Here’s how to host the best 70th birthday celebration so your guests have a blast.
Organizing a high tea is a great idea if you want an elegant party for an equally elegant lady. Pick out the perfect place in your garden. Arrange for the nicest China and fanciest spoons you can get your hands on.
Decorate the garden with flower arrangements. Use delicate colours for the tablecloth and centrepiece. Bite-sized sweet and savoury snacks are a must for the party.
You can keep a few tea options for the guest, like mint tea, floral tea, white tea, or oolong tea. These offer refreshing flavours for everyone to enjoy.
For an intimate and refreshing birthday celebration, having a family picnic is one of the best things you can do.
Pick a cozy location that your family loves. If you went there often as a family, having that history can make the day extra special.
Pack your picnic basket with delicious snacks and sandwiches, and grab your favourite beverages and an ice pack. Don’t forget the condiments.
If you have a good Bluetooth speaker, blast music on it to get the party started. Obviously, you need to have a cake or at least cupcakes for this celebration.
Renting a recreational van for an overnight party with your family is a unique way to celebrate a birthday. You can easily find packages online for renting an RV that comes with lots of different arrangements.
Having a girl’s night at a luxurious RV provides a unique experience that is definitely unique but also intimate.
Plan the entertainment and food for the party. You can probably add a few decor pieces to personalize the place for the night. However, most packages come with a set theme.
A decades costume party is a suitable idea if your guests love dressing up and so does the honorary guest of the night.
Picking between which decade offers the best fashion and the most fun is quite a challenge. If you want a very dressy party, the 20s seem the right decade. Pick some music suitable for doing the Charleston.
For a fun disco night, stick to the 70s and 80s, and your guests will have the time of their lives. You can arrange for live music and hire tribute bands from that decade.
An outdoor garden party is a great chance to reconnect with family and enjoy conversation. Sometimes, just catching up to what everyone is doing can be more fun than a hotchpotch of activities.
Plan a relaxed lunch with soothing decor. You can go for a rustic or vintage feel. Assign various dishes for your guests to bring to the party. Have everyone write down their recipes. Sharing these recipe cards can start a vibrant conversation at your party.
Don’t forget to raise your glasses and toast to the guest of honour. Share stories and laughter to make it a special day.
If your guests enjoy learning new things and are open to a day of activities, you can arrange a pottery class.
Pottery studios these days are open to arranging private parties. Guests get taught to make different pieces with clay and take home memorabilia.
You can bring cake and food into the workshop and take the time to enjoy a meal. Most places allow 5-30 guests, and it’s perfect for a party of close friends and family.
Doing fun things with your loved ones can create beautiful memories. Kids in your family will enjoy this party the most.
Physical movement is absolutely essential to taking care of health at any age. What’s a better way than dancing to keep your body engaged?
Pick a form of dance everyone will enjoy. An instructor can come to your home or any venue you prefer, including dance studios. So you don’t have to worry about traveling.
An hour-long dance class should be enough as you don’t want to tire everyone out. You can plan other activities as well to keep the celebration going an hour or two dance party doesn’t sound long enough.
Adult cooking classes can be a lot of fun. For a birthday celebration with a small group, this is an incredible idea.
Cooking studios offer all the supplies for the cooking class and assign a chef to teach how to cook an exquisite meal from scratch. A class can take up to 2 hours or more. In the end, you get to savor the delicious food you made.
A nice wine-tasting party may be the right fit for a fun 70th birthday party. Make a few boards with a wonderful spread of cheese, fruits, desserts, and proteins.
Get opaque glasses to serve the wine and cover up the wine bottles with brown paper bags. Have everyone taste the wine blind so they truly get to experience the different flavors.
A wine party is interactive as guests go through different stations and try the wine and food. It’s a great way to socialize with everyone.
A spa birthday party can be fun and relaxing for the guests. Get professionals to give guests manicures and pedicures, back massages, and more.
Arrange for spa-themed decor. Get everyone pink robes to wear and flip-flops to dress right for the occasion.
Keep finger food and bite-sized treats flowing through the room to get the happy hormones going. Serve wine or cocktails so everyone is relaxed for the celebration.
Another fun activity for the 70th birthday is having a nail art station for guests to get their nails beautifully painted.
The nail art will also serve as a memento for the party and it’s a nice thing for the ladies to enjoy. You can book talented nail artists online for the event and ask them to come to your party venue with the supplies.
A round of bingo for a grand prize has to be exciting. Print out the bingo sheets and decorate them with stickers of different colors and shapes to add some pizzazz.
Get the funniest person in your family to be the host. A few well-timed jokes can make the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.
Organizing a birthday party is hectic but to see the smiles and laughter play out on everybody’s faces can be quite rewarding.
Picking our outdoor 70th birthday ideas like a potluck picnic or high tea party can make for an elegant lunch. Even renting an RV is adventurous and provides a unique experience.
However, an indoor party focused on different activities like dancing, cooking, pottery, or wine tasting is also a popular choice.
Whatever theme you pick for the night, live music is essential to get any party going. You can hire incredibly talented bands and musicians from UK Live Entertainment, including a wonderful George Michael tribute act.
