Question

What if the centenarian died the day before the birthday? Should we go through with the party?

Yes, you all could. At the party, you all could share the best memories of that individual you all have.

Question

How should we structure the party?

Community Answer

The sequence is entirely up to you. It is highly recommended that all of the major activities, such as cake cutting and toasts or speeches, occur at the beginning of the party in case the guest of honor has to leave.

Question

Do I have the birth date or the date of the party printed on the front of the guest sign in book?

Community Answer

Having both on the front page is a great option! You could write something like, "Marie's 100th Birthday Celebration. Born April 5th, 1921, celebrated April 5th, 2021." If you just want to put one, go with the birthdate.
