Flag line garland Abraham 50 years

The Abraham 50 Years flag bunting is a 5-metre party garland with ten triangular flags printed with Abraham and the number 50. Hang it up for a man turning fifty, at the birthday party at home, in the party hall, or outside along the house. The purple flags with yellow borders make it clear to visitors from a distance that an Abraham party is being celebrated.

Ten purple flags with Abraham print

• The bunting is 5 metres long.
• Ten plastic flags hang from the cord.
• Each flag is purple with a yellow border and features the name Abraham in yellow letters at the top.
• Each flag shows a drawn old man with glasses and a walking stick in an orange suit.
• The number 50 is displayed in red-orange on a yellow background at the bottom.
• The triangular flags hang point-down from a thin cord.
• The bunting itself is included, without any additional decorations.

Why Abraham is associated with a fiftieth birthday

In the Netherlands, a man turning fifty is said to have seen Abraham. The expression comes from the biblical story in which Jesus is told that he has not yet lived fifty years, yet he would have seen Abraham. For a woman turning fifty, she is said to have seen Sarah. Traditionally, this milestone is marked by a conspicuously decorated house, so that the whole street knows who is celebrating a birthday.

How to make the front door a recognisable Abraham party

An Abraham party is recognisable from the outside by the decorations around the front door, so hang the garland in an arch above the door or along the fence. Inside, it works well above the buffet table or behind the birthday person's chair. Keep the rest of the decorations in purple, yellow, and orange, so that everything matches the flags and the party has a consistent theme.
