It was a most wonderful and joyous party. I can not express how happy that made me. I thank my daughter Ramona Ruby for the planning and execution of this event. Many thanks to all who helped or contributed to make my birthday celebration, a most happy day.
I am a very proud father.
hello, i love all the details for this party. i was wondering if you could tell me where you got the empty speech stickers
What terrific ideas! I'm planning a 60th birthday party for my husband, and really want to do the speech bubble poster. So I'm also wanting to know where to get the empty speech bubble stickers! Thanks for these lovely ideas!
RamonaRuby, thank you so much for sharing the vector clipart! I bought the foamboard. What I don't know is how you got the clipart on to the foamboard – they aren't stencils, are they? Did you print them onto a large poster and affix that to the foamboard? Thanks again!
Nancy, I printed them onto a large poster at FedEx Office from a PDF file (I created a PDF with the clipart by repeating the bubbles over and over until I had 70).
This event planner really appears to love her job. I didn't care for some details such as linens, flowers, or lighting, so I trusted the planner to make those decisions. So she did – and made everything look classy and cohesive. Without breaking my bank.
Where did you find those awesome candles for the cake? I love them!!!!
Hi. I am planning a 50th Anniversary party for my parents. In love the picture collage in the shape of the number. What material did you use as a sturdy backing for the collage? And also, what did you use to attach the pictures? Thank you!!
I absolutely love the "70 Years of Ray" idea. I would love to do this for my mom's 60th. Do you have a template you used that you can share?
RamnonaRuby – you mentioned above that you "created a PDF with the clipart by repeating the bubbles over and over until I had 70" – do you still have that PDF file and if so could you send it or post it? I need it for a party we are planning. PLEASE PLEASE? 😉
These are so terrific 70th birthday party ideas!! I can’t believe you did everything in a budget. I also need to host a grand party on my dad’s birthday. I would like to stay within my budget so please suggest some affordable Chicago venues for this party!!
Where did you find that awesome invitation? Best one I have seen, but haven't come across that one on any websites. Planning my father-in-law's party right now! Thank you for the ideas!
Ramona,
Thank you kindly,

Thank You.
I would love the pdf of the 70 things we love party is this sunday!!
thank you so much
Please tell me where I can find the speech bubbles! Awesome idea!
I am throwing my dad a 70th birthday party and really want to use your idea with the pictures on the wall in the 70 shape. Did you have a stencil to go by to shape the '7' and the '0'? What size pictures did you use? Would like to put pictures on a poster and then just hang the poster rather than each individual picture but I am having a hard time making the numbers look like yours. Please help!
Awesome ideas I am trying to get ideas for my mothers 70th birthday and I would also love the pdf for the speech bubbles if you would be so kind to share that with me.
Looks like a fabulous party!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
I'm planning my first milestone birthday party. It's a 50th for my boyfriend. Also must it is a nice break from the sparkles, pink & princess theme I am used to planning for our girl parties.
I had no idea Target had so many chalkboards, plan to incorporate them as you did throughout. I also loved the picture collage of 70 and the bubble poster. The vases with the picture is a great center piece. I take alot of pictures and these are great ideas to incorporate them into the theme.
My questions you used so many pictures. How did you save on printing them? Did you use a desktop printer or printing service?
Also you said for the bubbles you created an Adobe template then had FedEx print a poster. Did you order the poster online through their site? I did not realize they printed posters.
Thank you again so much for sharing your father's beautiful party and answering so many of our questions.
For the pictures (for the vases and the large 70 collage), I printed the pictures myself onto cardstock. Since they were all black and white, and since I needed so many, it was more cost-effective to just print them myself. As you can see, they still looked good, even though they were printed on cardstock (and not glossy photo paper). I just cut the pictures out myself from the cardstock (since it was just regular 8.5×11 cardstock). I secured the photos to the vases with double-sided tape.
Hope this helps!
Wow, absolutely love all of your ideas!
I'm holding a surprise 70th party for my father, but on a tight budget. Could you possibly send me some of your templates.
Thank you so much x
I am having a 70th party for my husband and would love to use some of your ideas. Could you send me the PDF of the 70 Things…. speech bubbles?
Wow!! Everything you've done is awesome! Hoe long did it take you to put all this together? Months? Its my parents 70th this year and planning something but feel time constrained. Thanks
These ideas are incredible!! Planning a 70th birthday party for my husband in August. Would you send me the template for the '70'
I love the Bacardi label! How can I get it to use at my Dad's 70? Thanks!
Loved the superb celebrations of your dad’s birthday. My brother has planned a large exhibition of all his paintings at one of marvelous venues in Chicago next month. Hope he gets good response from all his clients and public. Helping him in doing arrangements!
Like the invitation.
Nice one.
Hello,
Could you please send me a copy of 70 love things. Doing for my 60th bday.
Hello,
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. I am throwing my father a 70th birthday party next Saturday and I would like to use your ideas. The party is in Dallas (I'm in Phoenix) so it will help me to plan and be able to ship stuff there. As most people asked, can I please also have the PDF or adobe illustrator- whatever it is- for the thought bubbles. I will PAY! =)
God bless you for being so kind and sharing your creativity (and just plain party planning brilliance. =)
Best, Adrian Strong.
thank u so much!
Love the party ideas you have mentioned. Please share more articles like this. I am following your blog.Visit my site Cumpleaños Infantiles
Do you have template for the invitation with the baby picture? I love that idea.
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have the template. I made it myself.
Hello Ramona Ruby, I LOVE the 70 collage of pictures and I am going to make one for my husband's 70th next month. My question is how tall were the numbers? Did you have to put several poster boards together to make each number? Thank you! You did a phenomenal job with his party planning! I hope I can pull the surprise party for him (just a few family members but I want to make it very special).
Eliana
The party will be so special! Each number was just a little larger than a piece of standard poster board. I used as much as I could of the board to create the number shape, then with the images layered on it ended up being a little bigger on all sides. I hope this helps! Best of luck with your husband's special day.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Hi There,
Great ideas! I’m throwing my moms 70th. I was wondering how many and what size photos you used for the "70" photo collages. Thanks!
Thank you, and happy early birthday to your mom! I used 3.5″x5″ pictures. I don't remember exactly how many I used, but I remember that I printed so many that I had to make 2 “70” collages with them. It worked so that I had a slightly smaller one to place in another spot at the party.

• Heavenly Father, as we celebrate my dad’s birthday, I ask for your blessings upon him.

• Gracious God, as my dad turns another year older, I pray that you bless him with the ability to use emojis correctly and not mix up the laughing and crying faces.

If he has a great sense of humor, infuse some lightheartedness into your prayer. Use terms and phrases that are familiar to him or that have significance to your relationship. This will make the prayer feel more genuine and relatable.
• Express your wishes and blessings: Lastly, make sure to include your own wishes and blessings for your dad in the coming year. Express your love, hopes, and prayers for his well-being, success, and happiness. Let your dad know how much he means to you and how grateful you are for his presence in your life. Your sincere words will touch his heart and make the prayer deeply personal.
