'Over the Hill' Party Ideas?

Author Message Sounds Painful Yahoo User Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:14 pm    Post subject: 'Over the Hill' Party Ideas? My father-in-law (who lives in Maryland) is coming to visit us (in Utah) a few days after his 50th birthday. His wife wants us to throw him a surprise 'over the hill' party. All his kids - and his new grandbaby - will be there, and we'd like to make it really special and fun.Does anyone have any good ideas for decorating, gifts, websites, etc? My house is small, and it's very cold here, so it would have to be indoors - and preferably not too expensive!

Like a huge tub of mints that look like pills and a label on the tub that says "Viagra." Denture paste, depends under garments etc. It will be huge laughs when he opens them!

I find it is cheap to feed people with baked Ziti and some salad.Good luck.

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but 50 is pretty young...maybe a "new grandpa" party, like a baby shower but with grandpa toys would be more fun for everyone...?

Maybe do a diner theme - serve meatloaf and mashed potatoes with green beans.
