Making it to half a century of life is a major milestone that’s worthy of celebration! To help make your party an absolute blast, here are 50th birthday party ideas for women that you might not have considered.
1. Rent a Peerspace as your party venue
Since the location where you hold your party can absolutely make or break the event, we’re starting off our list of 50th birthday party ideas for women with a suggestion that’ll help you make sure you find the ideal venue: renting out a Peerspace for your party! From elegant rooftops to stunning gardens and stylish lofts, Peerspace has the largest selection of any hourly rental marketplace on the web, and the site’s intuitive search tool makes it easy to search its offerings for a space that’ll be an ideal fit.
2. 1970s throwback party
If you’re celebrating your 50th birthday this year, that means you were born in the 70s—why not celebrate the era you were born in with a retro-themed party? To make it extra fun and festive, you can even ask your guests to wear retro outfits.
3. 1980s throwback party
Or perhaps you identify more with the 1980s because they’re the decade when you became a teenager. If that’s the case, throw an 80s-themed party with music from the decade, and consider watching your favorite movies from that era, too!
4. Picnic party
Here’s a great 50th birthday party idea for women: how about a picnic with your closest friends and loved ones? You can always plan to have this one at your favorite picturesque public park, or if you’d prefer a little more privacy and don’t have access to an outdoor space of your own, consider renting an outdoor venue like a garden on Peerspace.

5. Wine and cheese night
No pairing is more perfect than wine and cheese (and good friends!). For foodies and oenophiles—that’s the official term for a wine connoisseur if you’ve never heard it before—we can’t think of a better way to celebrate a birthday. Here are some suggestions for wine and cheese pairings from Taste of Home to get you started planning your menu.
6. Art gallery party
Find an art gallery near you that’s available for rent on Peerspace, and take advantage of the awesome ambiance of these kinds of spaces to make your party extra cool and memorable. Your guests will appreciate the opportunity to gaze at beautiful art as they celebrate your 50 years of life with you! To make the gathering extra special and further elevate the vibe, you can even hire a jazz band or other live musicians to perform at your party.
7. Glamping trip
Have you ever heard of the term “glamping”? It’s short for “glamorous camping,” and it allows you to enjoy all the benefits of camping (fresh air, stargazing, good company, and s’mores around the campfire) without having to sacrifice any of your creature comforts. Rent out a luxurious campsite that’s designed for these purposes and plan your ideal outdoorsy overnight getaway with your best girlfriends.
8. Cabin getaway
Or, for even more outdoorsy fun, what about a party where you and your besties rent out a cabin (for a night, or more!) and have a blast? If you live in a city, this is a perfect opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle for a little while and celebrate your birthday in tranquil comfort. If you stay for more than an overnight, you can even go hiking or enjoy other outdoor activities in the surrounding area.
9. Go on a cruise
Do you love getting out on the water, and are you located near a picturesque coastline, river, or other body of water? If this describes you and your birthday falls during a season with pleasant weather, charter a private boat for a dinner cruise. Then, enjoy the views of the sunset and the tranquil waters for a truly memorable celebration!
10. Go whale watching for your party
Here’s another idea that involves getting out on the water, but with a different focus than the last one! Nature lovers will especially appreciate the opportunity to see these incredible animals in their natural habitat while taking in the ocean breeze. If you’re a seafood lover, combine it with a seafood feast for a truly maritime-themed adventure.

11. Aquarium party
Perhaps the weather near you isn’t going to be warm enough to get out on the water and go whale watching. But perhaps you’re still intrigued by the prospect of exploring and learning more about the mesmerizing underwater world and marine life. If so, host your birthday party at a local aquarium for a unique option that your guests are sure to remember. If possible, plan a guided tour and a behind-the-scenes experience like feeding the animals at the aquarium.
12. Time capsule birthday celebration
Ask each guest you invite to your party to bring a keepsake item that represents a significant memory with you. Once you’ve gathered all these items together, create a time capsule and bury it in a special ceremony. Then, plan to open it on a future milestone birthday (such as your 60th birthday celebration ten years later). As an added bonus, this means you’ll already have an activity planned for your next major birthday celebration!
13. Art studio party
Whether you go for pottery, painting, sculpture, or an entirely different medium, reserving an art studio for a creative celebration is a fun and hands-on option. Hire a professional art instructor to guide you and your guests through the creative process, and allow your guests to take home their own artwork as party favors.
14. Have a potluck gathering
For our final 50th birthday party idea for women, we’re suggesting an enjoyable option that will also save you the effort of cooking or worrying about catering: planning a potluck-style gathering where each of your friends brings a dish they’ve prepared themselves!
