Commemorating a Milestone Back to Events
Whether your best friend just turned the big 5-0 or your father is nearing 75, honor the landmark occasion with an extra-special party.
Silly gag gifts and old-age jokes are just one possible element of an "over-the-hill" party. Before you break out the denture cream and reading glasses, however, remember that friends who strive to conceal their ages may not find a gag party amusing.
Check out our milestone party tips so you host a memorable party that ensures everyone has a good time. Get guests into the party spirit with themed over-the-hill decorations.
Peruse the wine selection at your neighborhood Publix to find a wine that is aged to perfection—just like the guest of honor. And no matter how old you are, it's hard to resist a custom cake from your Publix Bakery.
Menu Made Easy
Here's where we've figured out courses and servings for the party. Scroll down to see the
Publix selections we suggest, then add appropriate sizes and/or quantities to your
Planning List based on the estimated servings per course (see chart). If you're interested
in other options, you may click View All to see everything else available by course.
Or, you can use our Plan a Menu
tool to build your own menu for the event.
