Black candelabras are a nice touch to the party as well. Send Over The Hill party invitations which indicates that the party has a particular theme for guests.

Trivia is always fun and Over The Hill Trivia will let the guests decide how will they really know the guest of honor. Ask players to fill out trivia questions about the birthday boy or girl. Ask questions such as: What high school or college did he or she graduate from? What country did he or she vacation last? What phobia/fears do he or she have? E.g. snakes, heights, or spiders? Use the year the guest of honor was born to make up more trivia questions for the guests. History may be difficult for some who were not born during the 60s, therefore, offer multiple choice answers for all questions.
