Birthday Party Ideas for Adults – Step Right Up!


Birthdays are meant to be special and fun filled. Adult birthdays truly are the perfect opportunity to celebrate. Celebrate making it through another year, celebrate life and, with a lot of adult birthday parties, celebrate that exceptional milestone you’ve just hit. Keep in mind that birthday parties are not just for your kids, adults love to celebrate, host and attend parties as well.

When planning an adult birthday party you definitely have a lot more liberty and choice when deciding on the ins and outs of the actual party. Some say an adult birthday party should be a more sombre like, calm (ish) and a very grown up gathering in comparison to a kid’s party. But there are others that believe that an adult party provides the opportunity of a more madcap, unconventional and crazy filled type of party. I for one believe in going with the style of party, theme and fun you are looking for, depending on the person, situation and time of year and whether you are planning a shindig for an adult or child. Plus, there are some really great birthday party ideas for adults available for you to take a stab at finding the just right one.

Birthday Party Ideas for Adults – Start Planning!

Looking to plan a most unforgettable birthday party for the special adult in your life? No worries, you are set to host a party that will not only be remembered by the guest of honor but all the invited guests as well. All you need is a bit of vision, resourcefulness and creativity and you are on your way to the best party yet. As blogged about many a time before, come up with a budget, stick to it and put it in the party plan. You are one step closer to success. Once the budget is selected and confirmed, choose a fun party theme and then you can simply take that theme and expand on it. Expand to the invitations, decorations, tasty menu, wonderful entertainment and everything else you may need to throw a wonderfully fun filled adult birthday party.

Birthday Party Ideas for Adults – Surprise!

A surprise party is a great way to celebrate a special occasion. A surprise party is just like any old conventional party except the difference is the huge degree of…. surprise. Among the majority of us, I ask you, really who don’t love a surprise. Surprise parties have become way (way) more fashionable and in style. As long as the person you are celebrating has a healthy sense of humor, you should have no problem whatsoever. One of the greatest, and at times hardest, parts of the surprise party isn’t actually the party part of the experience. It’s the “surprise” part of the experience. When putting pen to paper and planning all the elements involved for the day, that oh so special surprise part can be the most challenging chunk. So first and foremost think it through and come up with an A plus way to help make sure that the surprise does in deed stay a surprise!

Birthday Party Ideas for Adults – The Fun Awaits!

I was lucky enough to be included in a surprise party for a friend’s husband this past weekend. She got him out the house by saying she had a work meeting and it was being held at their place. She then arranged to send him off to the ballgame with a couple of his good friends that were in on the ruse. With the first part of the plan in place, and while he was enjoying the game, she decorated and set up the entire house. She tackled the party space enhancing it with not only some colorful decorations but with some of the top movie posters from the year he was born as well as lists and pictures of the top TV shows, songs, albums, favorite foods and the item prices (all accessible and downloadable online). Along with some delicious and great party foods the hostess included all of the birthday honoree’s favorites from when he was a young lad. She also invited all of her husband’s buds, from back in the day right to the present time, and instructed the guests to arrive thirty minutes before the guest of honor’s anticipated arrival.

In a word or two, the party was unbelievable and joy filled. The honoree was totally surprised, not only by the party but by the decorations, food and all his friends that showed up to celebrate. It’s been a couple of days since the party and we all continue to talk about it and all the fun we had. Truly a job well done!

We all love a birthday party and sometimes adult birthday parties are not as frequent as one might imagine. When thinking and planning an adult birthday party don’t forget it’s all about the guest of honor. By keeping this in mind you will definitely ensure a wonderful celebration and a great time will be had by all!
