She is very active and loves to dance and garden. Any ideas of how I could incorporate memories of her childhood and young adulthood? Maybe a theme having to do with her life?

How delightful !!! She must have seen alot and experiences many events in her life that were memorable,sad,happy,sentimental,bitter,sweet and so on. Tell her the family is going to hold a party in her honor. Ask her if she has friends who are still alve to share this memorable day with her. Invite close friends and relatives and throw a big bash for her!! After all, this is the day to show to her how special she is to all!!! Gather all grandchildren and children to sing songs of dedication to grandma.Capture all her old photographs and make it into LCD presentation for guests to watch her past and the present!! In fact, the family can compile some old photos of her and made into postcards to be given away to guests. or made t-shirts of the yonder days to be given to guests. It depend also on the budget for the party--to splurge or not !!!

I just did one of those! You could gather old pictures and stories from relatives and make a slide show. Also, find things from when she was a little girl...like how much houses were, the price of milk, etc. I also used music from the period either when she was born (which might be difficult) or from the period she was a teenager. You can also get an old photo and blow it up and put it in one of those autograph frames for everyone to sign that attends.

I think that it is a mistake to suprise her. My husband's family did that for his mother's 80th birthday and she fainted. The shock could be too much for an elderly person. Just have a regular party and let her invite anyone she wants.

Well, I know for all my grandparents' 80th, they really enjoyed it when the party was lighthearted and fun. Make it lots of fun! If she has a good sense of humour, you can have members of the family tell humourous stories about her. But overall, let her know how much you all appreciate her. Good luck!

I have an idea why not try to find out if there are any friends that she has lost contact with and if you can find them in time invite them to the party.

Get the Mayor of the town where she grew up, to make it her day, with a proclamation on paper. It will be a nice addition to everything else, and make you feel good too.
