60th birthday Party Invitations - for retirement?
Children are bad enough when they are kids, but when they grow up they can be worse. Now I know I am about to retire, but I found out that the 60th birthday party invitations they had sent out said “come to my dad’s birthday before it’s too late!”.
What a cheek! Sometimes I think the way they behave, I will live longer than them - only joking. Anyway, after that I was not sure what to expect. Thought maybe they would decorate a coffin or something.
Well, it turned out that the 60th birthday party invitations were the big joke and the actual event was not too bad. When I looked at the 60th birthday party invitation, however it didn’t even hint at how smart and luxurious it would be.
It was strictly a high-class event, without any of those tired jokes about how old I was. They had quite a good band, there was plenty of drink, good friends and family - some whom I had not seen for ages. My kids got them to come - some came a long way - without me knowing about it. It really was a great night, and I will remember for years, despite the awful 60th birthday party invitations. I guess what I liked was it it was all about friendship and kinship, and how we had helped each other over the years.
SInce my party, I have had quite a few 60th birthday party invitations for my friends’ parties. When a weird invitation arrives in the post I don’t wince and say ‘how awful’. I just look forward to the event. See, the 60th birthday party invitations my son got printed were pretty second-rate, but the event was fun, classy, and we all had a great time.
If you ask me, the children on the person who is becoming 60 want too much novelty around. If you are buying invitations for a 60th birthday party, they do not have to be anything special - but I think most people who are celebrating their 60th will want a tasteful 60th birthday invitation. The party is special, and your friends family know that, so you do’t have to ram it down their throats..
It is important that you celebrate the beginning of the declining years of someone who you greatly admired and respected when they were young and more energetic. In any case, these days 60 is not that old - people in their 60s go sailing, play golf, treck, run, do marathons, climb mountains, and all sorts of things. This is now considered the age of fun - time to do as you please, and most of us can do what we want. Of course, I’m assuming that the 60 year old you are sending out invitations for is healthy. Even then, look on the bright side when you look for 60th birthday party invitations - and think yourself lucky that the person in question has friends and family nearby and not scattered around the globe.
