You could give them tickets to things they have never done before like going to a play, a sporting event, or a day at the spa. Ask friends and family what the guest of honor is always saying they would like to do and make it happen. You never know it could be as simple as going to a favorite restaurant. As a party favor for the special guest you can print out and frame the bucket list.

A really fun 50th birthday party theme is a "50 items that old people need" party. Doing this doesn't have to be expensive, especially if you go to dollar stores and discount stores.

Remember to get at least one really nice gift to end the party with.
