80th Birthday Party Suggestions
80th birthday party suggestions... Reaching an 80th birthday is a monumental occasion whether for a person or a company. That is why an 80th birthday party should be a special event.
Simply presenting gifts and offering a birthday cake is a not enough for such a party. Rather, it should have a special theme that allows the party to be memorable for all involved. That is why a special idea should be integrated into the party's concept.
Some 80th birthday party suggestions to use for your celebrations.
A person or company that has reached the age of 80 has seen a great deal of history. That means the historic themes would integrate well into the celebrations. You could incude events that happened in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Tie up the connection of events during these times with the person or company's own history. Some may wonder if this requires an elaborate set up or design. The answer is no as there are a number of simple things that can be done to give the party or celebrations a nostalgic flair.
For example, playing music from the era could be a fun inclusion to the mix. You could even find an old record player on Ebay.
It would also be a lot of fun to watch DVDs with newsreels from events during that era. The birthday guest of honor could then be quizzed or asked to reflect upon the events as he/she experienced them. Anyone who has reached the age of 80 will have some amazing recollections and insights. Perhaps recording them on video for posterity could be another great idea.
And, of course, the guest of honor probably has an affinity for his/her grandchildren. Perhaps the grandchildren could sing or act out a special birthday greeting.
These 80th birthday party suggestions and ideas and themes can be used for a company birthday celebration as well.

Below is an example of 80th birthday party suggestions for a company birthday celebration campaign.
Campaign period:
Run a year long campaign to celebrate the year. Start the campaign 
on the anniversary of the company - we will use 1 September as an example and take an 80th birthday for this campaign. This would work for any birthday though. Start the celebrations on the first. Then maintain communication throughout the whole month of September. Communication will continue on a lower scale until the end of December. The internal campaign will act as a prelaunch to the 3 month intensive marketing campaign to be launched in October.
Campaign objective:
To portray employee as ambassadors.
Secondary objectives: morale and high levels of brand association – motivation. This will come through in all communication.
Campaign slogan and message:
'Winners on track into the future'.
Message: Brand association is key. Perhaps “a winning combination” – [Company name], 80 years and going strong.
The message of pride, quality and excellence in product delivery will be conveyed in addition to the fact that the staff are part of a bigger international team.
Also to be communicated will be the staff's role in 
contributing to community building and community projects - the communities that have been touched in the 80 years. What we are today is because of what we started in 1930. The history and milestones achieved over the years will be used in communications. Create an 80 year logo and use it together with the company throughout.
Theme and imagery:
F1 imagery. Checkered flag imagery at plant entrances to the building on the 14th September plus a couple guys dressed as racing drivers with the full kit. Perhaps have a racing car at the two plants if possible.
Sound clip of racing sound played as staff come in.
Winning imagery should be portrayed with an actual trophy used as part of the existing recognition campaign. It will
carry on into the future. The trophy would be introduced on the birthday and competition criteria and achievement would be outlined in newspaper and other communication. Get staff to come up with 80th birthday party suggestions to add to the campaign.
Target audience:
All employees and valued clients. This will show clients and customers how successful the company has been over the years.
Communication elements:
- Newspaper called “On track into the future”
- 4 pages x A4 printed on 80gsm matt in black and white, to look like a newspaper. Will include other stories such as long service awards and other matters of interests. This includes layout of the newspaper and minimal editing of articles supplied. Photographs to be supplied.
- Newspapers can be personalized to each different plant Including
6 newspaper signs and 6 notice board communication signs each for plant/factory. - A representative/'reporter' should be nominated to source good stories of staff who have gone the extra mile. The “company journalist” will keep score as to who the best ambassador is. Newspaper headline boards will be put in the streets outside the plants (like daily newspapers).
- You can approach companies who supply food or drinks and want to reach this target audience, to see whether they would like to do a ‘sampling’ promotion to the staff as part of this campaign.
- The key rings and tshirts should be handed out at the same time. Message with key rings: 'brand is key: you are key to our success'.
- Sms messages
- Big spots on floor and hanging arrows to focus on certain staff
- Campaign conceptualization including campaign ‘look and feel’ imagery artwork.
- Putting up posters and notice board communications
- Put up flag props and organize guys dressed as racing drivers with the full kit.
- Arrange racing car at the plants.
- Wall of fame: put up pics of achievers.
- Long service employees who have stood the test of time should attend the press conference.
- These 80th birthday party suggestions can be used for other occasions too.
