Any birthday is a joyous occasion and always a reason to celebrate no matter what the age. So, "sweet 60" doesn't mean over the hill. On fact, it can be just as fun as sweet 16. One way to bring levity to the occasion is to use humorous quotes about being 60 in an invitation, on cards, gifts and decorations, and in toasts.
