Over the Hill THEME |
 |
Friends and family love throwing over the hill parties for their loved ones as a joke, especially if that loved one has reached a point where they feel somewhat self-conscious about their age. The phrase Over the Hill in general does imply that someone has passed their peak, physically, and mentally. The use of this theme at a party can be sometimes misconstrued so those throwing the party should make sure the guest of honor can take a joke with good natured humor.
Usually in America the ideal is seen as being young and much of our industry is focused on staying young with lots of anti-aging formulas and treatments, so the idea of the Over the Hill party evolved as the polar opposite to youth. The guests and the guests of honor are celebrating their transition into older age. Sometimes this party is thrown for people who are still really quite young, but it's seen as funny because it's obviously wrong. Some like throwing the Over the Hill party for a guest of honor who is just turning thirty, since turning thirty is seen as a very big transition from youth and immaturity to adulthood and maturity.
This concept is usually not present in many other cultures and only really prevalent in the westernized countries, arising as a response to the never ending search for the fountain of youth. The never ending search just gets so tiring for some people that they decide to have a good old fashioned Over the Hill party. These parties often feature a tombstone shaped cake, graveyard related decorations because the further over the hill you are, the closer to death you are, and lots of gag gifts such as adult diapers and canes and thick reading glasses. Party colors for this theme are often black and grey.Of course, if the guest of honor is turning seventy, a 70's party would be lots of fun to use as a theme also.

HANDMADE
PARTY SUPPLIES |
 |
An Over the Hill birthday party is the perfect time for homemade signs, decorations and other handmade party supplies. As most people know, black is the color of choice for an Over the Hill party. From black balloons and party streamers to colorful banners and homemade signs, an Over the Hill party can be a lot of fun.
Many people research and plan an Over the Hill party for a few months prior to the actual event. During this time, they decide where they are going to have the party, when they are going to do it and of course, who they are going to invite. This careful analysis can save the host a great deal of time and money. Most often, planning and preparation will allow more time for handmade signs, decorations and other items. Whether it is a forty, fifty or sixtieth birthday, a personalized Over the Hill banner will be a great way to recognize that special relative, friend or colleague.
Making an over the hill homemade banner can greatly compare to a purchased one. Using newsprint or poster board, words and other party supplies can be added to wish the special friend, relative or colleague, “Happy Birthday.” More often than not, these handmade banners have a special touch beyond compare.
Have a lot of posters at your over the hill party gathering. You can have your posters imprinted along with banners, and dangling ceiling over the hill signs. You can also have over the hill engraved photo albums as party favors and over the hill imprinted calendars.
