Celebrating a 100th birthday is truly a blessed time in one’s life, and it is only fitting to have some older music to go along with the party and add to the atmosphere. Music is normally something that people do not put on a party supplies list, but it can liven up any party and make the overall event come to life. Although there are many contemporary songs out today, for this party it is better to keep it with the Oldies but goodies. The music played at this celebration can vary a great deal and be a mixture of hymns, blues or famous songs from the past decade. More often than not, most people will find that the most important thing is to get a feel for what type of music the guest of honor currently loves, and what he loved as he was growing up or in his prime of life.
Some great ideas for song selections could include the following:
Amazing Grace- By: John Newton
What A Friend I Have In Jesus- By: Joseph M. Scriven
You Make Me Feel So Young- By: Frank Sinatra
My Way- By: Frank Sinatra
The Way You Look Tonight- By: Tony Bennett
Memories Are Made Of This- By: Dean Martin
For Once In My Life- By: Sammy Davis Jr.
More often than not, these Hymns and an assortment of songs by the Rat Pack will be a success and add to the event. They can be played softly while eating a meal, or loudly after the meal is over. Either way your guest of honor is sure to love them.
Creative suggestion: Avoid waiting until the last minute to pick things out or pick them up, no need to add more stress. Everyone does not drink alcohol, be inclusive when planning a get-together and have a choice of drinks that include non-alcoholic opinions. When decorating a room to match a given theme or idea explore not just the horizontal space, but the vertical space as well.
