Party Theme Ideas for Senior Citizens
When planning the party, the first thing we need to do is to set a theme. The purpose of confirming the theme is to determine the color and atmosphere that we use to decorate the room.
Regardless of how you want to commemorate the upcoming holiday, we are certain that one of the subsequent party theme options will be applicable.
We hope our all-encompassing list of suggestions and party themes will help you get off on the right foot as you organize an unforgettable party for your senior friend, family member, neighbor, or colleague.
1. Retro Theme
Before getting old, everyone experienced a youthful life. Retro back to their 20s, 30s even 40s to bring nostalgia to the night. With so many memories and experiences, it is easy to pick up some highlights and some memorable moments which is worth reliving.
Preparing videos or photos to remind them of their youthful time and inviting some old friends or someone hard to see in the daily life to the party. When going through these pictures and videos, people will have lots of fun and recall some funny memories of the old time.
The decoration of the party should be special and suitable for retro-themed parties. We can decorate the party with vintage records, disco balls, bright flowers, and kaleidoscopes which will turn the house into the old-fashioned style to make guests feel like being in a 60s club.
Moreover, outfits matching the retro theme are necessary! Such as classic printed blouses, straight-leg jeans and classic long dresses, and so on. To dress like a person living in the 60s and will immediately bring the guests back to that time. Remember to put on some classic jazz music to make the atmosphere more vintage and people can follow the music to dance.
2. Hollywood Theme
Without a doubt, people watched Hollywood movies more or less in their life and a Hollywood-themed party is a good excuse to dress up like the movie stars. Guests can choose the characters they want to be dressed up and wear fancy dresses and pieces of jewelry to the party.
To make people feel like the Hollywood atmosphere, the party should be decorated with shining pieces and some elements about some classic Hollywood movies, such as hanging classic posters and showing an old Hollywood movie on the wall or screen.
Moreover, you can arrange some fun games at the party, such as, trivia, karaoke, and watching movies, etc. Leave a place to let some guests dance with along the music. If possible, reserve a band to have the live show. If the seniors have some preferences, it is better to let them choose.
3. All Handmade Theme
After retiring, the elderly have lots of leisure time and handmade craftwork is a good choice for them to kill time. A Handmade-themed party is also a good choice for the seniors.
We can decorate the room with handmade pieces. For example, DIY photo booths, paper cutting, knitting, tissue paper pom poms, DIY cakes and snakes, and so on. Handmade decorations are one of the best ways to make the party become more vibe and vibe.
Guests can be part of the handmade activities and make some cute DIY pieces back home. I believe that it can bring some nice memories for the guests and the seniors.
4. Winter Wonderland Theme
If you want to have a Winter Wonderland theme party, you should decorate your house to be in a snow-covering world with snowflakes, white décor, and snowmen. You can also plan some interesting activities for the party. For example, the White elephant which is a classic Christmas game.
People can exchange gifts and open gifts from a communal table and can choose whether to keep the gifts or steal another participant’s gifts during the turn. When the game come to the end, everyone just keeps the gift they are holding.
5. Christmas Karaoke Theme
Christmas Karaoke is also a good choice to hold at the Christmas Party.
Gather the guests together and sing some classic Christmas tunes, which is an easy and entertaining activity that spreads the holiday spirits and reminds people of their favorite classic songs. People can sing together and rise the atmosphere to the climax.
6. Ballet Theme
Animate the party for your loved senior with the magic of this traditional ballet theme. Think about the little details you might add to a party with a ballet theme, such as tutu beverage containers or ballet slipper sweets.
Put a genuine nutcracker in the middle of each tabletop and perform Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker as background music. The elderly and their grandkids may enjoy playing a traditional game called "Find the Nutcracker" while dressed as ballet dancers or artists. The prize is a nutcracker, which will be awarded to the victor.
7. Secret Santa Theme
Catching the joy on a recipient's face as they open a present is one of the nicest aspects of Christmas. Secret Santa is an amazing group game that also happens to be a great deal of fun for senior citizens.
Set a budget restriction, perhaps $10 to $15, on the gifts that each participant buys or produces, and place all gifts beneath the tree. All the guests take turns opening a gift during the celebration. This is a great approach to saving money while still making Christmas gift-giving memorable and creative for the elderly.
8. Christmas Disco Theme
This is a Christmas version of the disco music of the '80s! Instead of the traditional red and green, have everyone wear garish clothes to celebrate. Include a rainbow-colored food buffet and party supplies like rainbow-colored wigs, fluorescent hats, light wands, and glasses.
The party atmosphere is set by the black lighting, and the brilliantly colored beverages complement the atmosphere. Play some festive music from the 1980s, chosen by your loved senior, and relax with a warm drink.
9. Mariachi Music Theme
Celebrate the season with a fiesta-inspired party if your senior loved one loves mariachi music. The festivities wouldn't be complete without mariachi bands, cocktails, and papel picado decorations.
Put lights around a cactus rather than an ordinary tree, then sprinkle it with colorful pom-poms. Prepare a tortilla bar in the backyard for your visitors to cook their own, and show the seniors and other guests how a Mexican-style birthday is celebrated.
10. Low-key Theme
The concept of throwing a mild birthday party for your older loved one is a fantastic notion. Not too much noise or clutter, just a little get-together with the loved ones.
But a simple theme doesn't mean boring, even if each guest prepares a joke can turn the party into a joyful one. You may have some sweets ready as rewards for the people who get the most laughs with their jokes. Naturally, people who tell bad jokes might expect a little penalty.
11. Las Vegas Theme
Throw an adults-only new year's party with a theme concentrated on casinos, poker, and other lottery games to make up for the fact that your elderly friends and family members won't be able to visit Las Vegas in the new year. Rather than using actual poker chips, have guests place bets using new year's sweets and muffins.
12. Skiing Theme
It's not necessary for the elderly to actually go skiing in order to enjoy a ski-themed celebration in the new year. Offer everyone a reason to don their antique ski equipment. Ski-shaped biscuits and a chalet-style kiosk stocked with spiced apple juice and hot whiskey sours are great ways to get guests in from the cold.
13. Wine-tasting Theme
Anticipate your elderly loved one and other guests will start responding with "yes" if you offer to serve 12 different wines. There are a lot of ways you may twist this basic idea for a senior anniversary celebration. It's possible to have a wine tasting with a theme, such as serving only wines from a given location or made from a certain kind of grape, or you might ask each guest to bring along their own drinks to share.
14. Fictional Costume Theme
To celebrate your senior loved one's anniversary, have a costume party and have attendees dress as their favorite cinema star or fictional figure. As an introduction, have the guests try to figure out who everyone is. Find some unusual drinks to offer the guests. You may begin your preparation with the list of tequila, rum, and bourbon mixes.
15. Flannel-dress Theme
You may be wondering: "What is a flannel anniversary party?" You can make it into whatever you choose, as long as there is flannel involved. We believe this is a great idea for an anniversary party, where the seniors and their guests can relax wearing their flannel at a rustic cabin. The best way to get into the mood, though, is to visit a textile shop and pick up some flannel pieces to use as ornaments and simple highlights.
16. Ugly Sweater Theme
This is the funniest party idea among all others. Have a competition and give out awards for things like the best-handcrafted sweater and the person who wears the most glitter. A person gets extra points if they dress up as their grandparents did when they were young. Take plenty of pictures so your senior loved one can laugh about those hideous holiday sweaters in their spare time. Make chocolate biscuits in the form of sweaters and let guests customize their own to take home as a party favor.
Ending
It is never being too young or too old to have fun. The seniors still can be the main character of a party and holding a party for the old is a great way to show your honor and express your love for them.
Theme party is the great way to gather families and friends together and communicate with each other. Choose a suitable theme among these and have fun with the old at home to make them feel being accompanied and loved.
