A party is only as good the people that are at it.  So making sure you put the time in to find all the people your grandparent would like at the party will take some work, but it will be worth it when you can bring friends and family together that they have not seen in ages.  You will need to start on getting the list put together early as it is going to take a bunch of time to track everyone down as well as get the correct addresses you will need in order to send out the party invitations.

Pick A Theme

There are plenty of entertaining themes to choose from as well as locations.  Check with your grandparent to see what they would like best.  Put together a list of ideas and then let them select their favorite.  A few ideas to get you started would be a tea party, outdoor evening, their favorite restaurant, tropical theme, or glitter, and gold. However, there are tons more to choose from, so do a little research and find the options you think would best fit your grandparent and then let them pick.

Birthday Party Invitations

Once you have the guest list locked down, you will need to make sure you get each guest the 80th birthday invitations.  You will want to send the bday party invites no later than six weeks before the event to get the best attendance possible.  Six weeks give guests enough time to make arrangements to travel as well as move other obligations to attend.  Once you have your theme for the party you will want to make sure you incorporate that style into your invitations. This will help your guests know instantly what type of party they will be attending.  It is also a good idea to include the dress code at the bottom of the invitation so there is no confusion.
