Japanese Costume Kimono

Question: What do Japanese do when they turn 80th? Is there any traditional celebration?? Is there a special costume?
I am getting ready for my boss's 80th birthday and I want to make it memorable. We are having a party at Yamashiro Restaurant, Hollywood by the Japanese Garden so we want to make it perfect. I heard there is a ceremony and a special kimono to wear. I am looking to purchase as soon as possible. Please help!!
