50th Birthday Party Games

The first fifty years are just for practice and 50th Birthday Party Games can be a testimonial to the life lessons learned thus far. Guessing games based on trivia from the guest of honor's lifetime would be a perfect way to highlight these lessons learned along the way.

Create just the right set of questions that will focus on historic events and popular culture that are of particular interest to the invited guests. Give a lot of energy to researching long before the 50th birthday party so that the guest of honor is pleased to shine in his or her particular area of expertise. For instance, if that person's favorite musical tastes tended toward the British Invasion of the 1960's ask lots of questions that will dust competition from the younger guests. It will have a tendency to stack the deck but what better gift is there than ensuring a 50th birthday win?

Another possible way to accomplish the same end would be to create a word 50th birthday party game that utilizes areas of the guest of honor's special knowledge. Hangman can be played using the medical term ""cyanotic"" that the nurse would guess right off the bat. A plant that is very familiar to a botanist albeit somewhat obscure to the others in the crowd would do the trick. Use of a term like ""gusset"" will be very familiar to the seamstress but of little if any familiarity to the attorney. Throw in a few terms or questions from recent news events, movies and television so that everyone has a few wins. It gets boring to loose all the time!

Decorate with vivacious colors and themed paper party goods. Keep things fun and the food scrumptious so that the 50th birthday party sends the message that the best is yet to come in life.
