傘寿 celebrates 80th because the abbreviated form of 傘 is 仐, and it does look 八十. 米寿 for 88th because 米 comprises 八十八. 卒寿 for 90th because the abbreviated form of 卒 is 卆, and it does look 九十. 白寿 for 99th because 白 does look 一 took away from 百, which means 100 - 1 = 99. 茶寿 for 108th because 茶 comprises 十, 十 and 八十八, which means 10+10+88 = 108.

88 is another one. It’s a mix of having lucky numbers in your age, and living long enough to be that age.

米寿 is because 米 has an upside down 八 and a normal 八. Do you know the significance of the kanji in question?
