Blue Gingham

75th Birthday Party Ideas with a country theme but not a western theme. Any ideas?

I am throwing my mom a surprise 75th birthday party on August 2nd. I am renting a local community center that has round tables and chairs for us to use; and access to a kitchen. We are not able to decorate the walls so I need decorating ideas. I want country (no apples) feel but not western. I was thinking of blue gingham linens with sunflowers or maybe daisies. Blue, white & yellow are the colors I was thinking would blend well. I need centerpiece ideas, simple finger type food ideas, invitation ideas, cake ideas, gift ideas. If you have any that you would be willing to share with me I would be very thankful. I want to give her a very unique party surrounded by those who love her as much as I do. My mom is a simple country girl who is not really into all the frills, lace, bells and whistles so to speak that others are accustom to. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Go with the daisy themed idea.

Get blue/white gingham tablecloths, get white vases for the yellow/white daisies for each table's centerpiece. Get different styles/sizes for the vases...for added interest.

Use yellow or blue for the plates & glasses.
Get a nice cake with a picture of a barrel (or wheelbarrow) with yellow/white daisies spilling out of it...out in a field with maybe an old rusted wagon in the background. You could even get a small barrel/cask for the main table with yellow/white daisies spilling out...

Use this picture for the invitations....

For food, (besides the cake) serve finger sandwiches...basic stuff like ham, turkey, chicken, roast beef...& white/wheat bread. Maybe even pimentio cheese...maybe some potato salad...or even fried chicken tenders.

Maybe some fruit...cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, grapes, strawberries, apple slices, etc. maybe some cheese cubes...cheddar & pepper jack...etc or just a cheese ball & crackers.

Serve it all with pink lemonade.

Gift ideas----same as always....whatever she likes... Maybe a family picture that you've framed & put on display....by the guest book.
