We’ve Got The Party Themes & Tips To Wow Your Guests
Ever feel like adult birthday parties are a little…repetitive? There’s no rule that says once you hit 25, birthday events must be dinner parties with wine and centerpieces. If you want to plan a birthday party that is memorable, fun, and even a little crazy, here are some of our suggestions to put together a party your guests will never forget!
Cake Swap
Cookie swap parties, where every guest brings a batch of their favorite cookies to share, are all the rage around the holidays. Play off that popular theme by asking guests to bring their favorite cake recipes in mini-cupcake form. As the host, put a candle in one cupcake from each guest to create an array of cakes for the guest of honor to blow out the candles! If you’re worried about excess cake (is that even a thing?), provide containers for guests to each take a few cupcakes home with them as favors!
Party Olympics
Perfect for summer, customize the Olympics to keep guests having a blast during your party. Have each guest select a country by picking a country from a hat and everyone competes. Long jump and races are easy to set up, but you can get creative by customizing Olympic games into backyard shenanigans (weightlifting in a dinosaur costume, anyone?) or personalizing the events with hilarious inside jokes!
Party Favors
Why should kids be the only one to get goodie bags? Treat your guests to a grown-up party favor that will be the star of the event. Feel free to use a theme to your favors such as having a Paris-themed party and giving out French chocolates, or a gourmet Hollywood-themed party. We love these little DIY Mason jar drink favors, but you can get completely creative!
Host a Mixology Class
Tired of beer and wine and ready to create a refreshing signature cocktail? Hire a bartender to teach you and your guests the basics of mixology, like how to make classic and innovative drinks and how to pair alcohol and mixers to create your own favorite. At the end of the course, serve a specialty drink and keep the party going!
Board Game Get-Together
If you’re seeking something low-key that’s a lot of fun, get some games together like Apples to Apples, Cranium, Pictionary, or even Cards Against Humanity. For a larger get-together, set up “stations” or to keep the whole gang together, create teams! Keep the theme going with board game-based snacks and décor. Word of warning: If you’re serving alcohol, playing Twister could be tricky, but hilarious!
Rent a Food Truck
Instead of a standard catering service or the stress of cooking everything yourself, rent a food truck for your birthday party! Tacos, hot dogs, barbecue…depending on where you live, you may have some fantastic food choices, and it will add a fun, casual vibe to the party that your guests will love! This is an idea that will stick out in your guests’ minds for years to come and may inspire your friends and loved ones to rent trucks for their own events!
