50th Birthday Party Favors

Ahh, the beginning of the "Golden Years." This milestone is met, not with the apprehension of 40, but with pleasure and a sign of relief. Kids are out of the house, work has started to pay off, bills are generally a little less...it's a time to celebrate the beginning of the next wonderful phase in adult life!

Party Favors 50th Birthday - Ideas

Candles. Take a gold or white votive candle and put it in a small clear glass. Buy 5-0 embellishments in gold (from a place like Michaels) and affix them to the shot glass.

Gold Pens. Buy as many gold craft pens (again from a place like Michaels) as there are guests. Create a small tag that says "(Person's Name) has entered the Golden Years" and attach it with a gold ribbon to the end of each pen.

Fortune Cookies. Wrap individual fortune cookies in gold foil. Create a small tag that says "Share (Person's Name) good fortune as s/he turns 50!" For a twist, include a stamped/addressed envelope to the guest-of-honor with directions for the person who receives the favor to open the cookie and save the fortune until the guest-of-honor's 51st birthday at which time they should send it back.

CD. If you are really creative, create a CD of about ten songs from the year the person turning 50 was born. Create your own labels with a picture of the guest-of-honor and an insert with song titles.

Here are some really cool 50th birthday party favors we've found.
