Golden Birthday History Lesson

The origin of the Golden Birthday is up for debate, but it’s believed that American author Joan Bramsch is the originator of the concept when she publicly celebrated her children’s golden birthdays in the 1950s. The idea caught on and became popular. And if you’re over the age of 31 and are feeling sad you may have missed your golden birthday, have no fear! Turning the age of your birth year is considered a Platinum Birthday. So if you’re born in 1980, get ready to party it up on your 80th birthday! Plus, the traditional theme of a 50th birthday is gold, so you'll get a glittering celebration either way.
