Milestone birthdays aren’t just birthdays. They mark important changes in life and are often accompanied by certain privileges and wisdom. So, don’t let these pivotal moments pass by without planning a proper celebration. In fact, go big with a NYC milestone birthday event everyone will remember!
Weaving fun and intimate elements into the party scene can give it that extra something as both a birthday and a special social celebration. While this may come with the occasional production challenge, don’t shy away from the big and bold. Keep reading and see what elements you want to incorporate in your upcoming milestone birthday.
1. Picture Timeline
Great for any milestone birthday, a picture timeline is like a story of its own. It could include baby pictures, important life accomplishments, and pictures with friends and family. It can be a focal point at an event, a background aspect, or even part of the decor. For larger social celebrations, projecting a picture timeline onto a screen or wall is a great way to display something meaningful.
Physical prints of these pictures can be worked into the decor as table markers, arranged and hung as garland, or placed as an interactive prop at a separate station. Pairing with a station for guests to give words of advice as the birthday celebrator grows older can also give an intimate touch.
PRO TIP: You and your guests might be all about reminiscing with photos of yesteryear. But don’t forget the photo ops to commemorate the big milestone birthday event. Book the photo booth!
2. Invest in Quality Music
From brilliant DJs to incredible live bands, no milestone birthday event in New York City is complete without the music. Whether your guest of honor or crowd is into the golden oldies, 90s grunge, or today’s hottest hip hop, bring the tunes in a big way. Nothing says “Here’s to 40” or “Welcome to 65” quite like a dance floor and some heart-pumping, soul-stirring, and toe-tapping melodies.
3. Bucket Lists
Bucket list items are a fabulous element to incorporate into the celebration scene. A bucket list can be constructed with the help of guests, displayed for all, or this special type of social celebration can even help cross items off a bucket list (within reason, of course.) For those celebrating older milestones, virtual reality might be the ticket to experience some of the more dare-devil bucket list items in a safer way.
