If you're wondering how to honor your Birthday Guest 75 years young (or 80, or 90 or more!), here are some inspirations for memorable birthday parties to celebrate a life long-lived.

A Life In Pictures

A birthday no one will soon forget, plan ahead for this birthday party honoring an entire life in photographs. Gather photos from family and friends spanning the Guest of Honor's life from babyhood through the decades. Have the photos made into slides, and set the slide-show to a special soundtrack.

A Special Toast

For a warm party theme, have a toasting party where each guest gets to contribute to the honoring. Especially if you're having a restaurant party, this is the perfect opportunity for each guest to say a few words about the Guest of Honor. Ask each guest to prepare a toast prior to the party; for a speical touch, ask everyone to begin their toast with the same phrase, like "Here's to Emma in her 75th year...." followed by their own message to her.
