60th Birthday Party Ideas for Mom

Now, now, a surprise party is one of the best birthday party ideas, isn't it? Specially at 60, when you hardly get any time to spend with your children and grandchildren, a surprise party will also mean having all your loved ones back. What's more? Also invite a few of your mom's friends who you know don't meet her often. Cook, yes cook and not order her favorite food. It might take you some time and some manipulation to hide it all, but do it yourself, everything. Another thing you can do is keep all the party decorations of her favorite color. She'll surely notice and appreciate the effort. Make a small movie/video out of all your old videos, records and photographs and show it at the party. This won't only be nostalgic and special but will also show 60 years of her life in a way. Write a small speech for her and present it nicely in front of everyone. Make sure you make her 60th birthday cake yourself too. If you are planning to throw a very big party, you can then perhaps order one. Keep in mind that everything in the party, from the decorations to the food to the music, should be of her choice, and the people too.
