Keep It Light
Most people can take some good-natured ribbing about their age as long as you don't over do it. One or two jokes are usually enough to elicit a few laughs. Telling too many jokes might wind up getting laughs at the birthday boy or girl's expense, and that's definitely not what you want to happen. Just remember that you can always share more jokes if the guest of honor really enjoys them and wants to hear more.
