How to Celebrate a 100th Birthday

Turning 100 is a major, major milestone. This year alone over 60,000 Americans will celebrate their 100th birthdays. By the middle of this century New York Life estimates that there will be almost one Billion Centarians. So how do we celebrate these very special people in our lives?
For starters, have a party. No one should reach 100 and not have a party. Your theme is simple, 100 years of life. Pick an invitation and sprinkle 100 confetti in it. Available in gold or bright rainbow metallic.
Inflate Giant Number Balloons to create the number 100 and place behind the head table. The numbers 1 and Zero come in Gold,Silver,Blue,Red, Purple and Pink. They look amazing and you can have pictures taken in front of them.
For Centerpieces take a sand weight, add a number 100 spray, tie a few latex balloons to the top and you're good to go. It's unique, fast easy and best of all looks way more expensive that it is.
