Adult Birthday Party Ideas and Tips

Great adult birthday party ideas and tips to help you have a successful party that will be fun and run smoothly!

You have to admit that throwing a birthday party for an adult is a little different than throwing one for a child. But...
what makes a great adult party is to bring some of the 'kid fun' into the party you are going to throw.

Here are some adult birthday party ideas examples...definately decorate, play games (even if they are board games), and send home party favors for sure!!!

Yes this sounds like kids stuff, but it makes the difference in a memorable party! The party will be festive, entertaining, and it gives every one the opportunity to be a little 'kid like' for a while. Which ultimately means having a little FUN!!!

Themes and colors are part of the party planning process. There are tons of great themes out there! You have to decide how far you want to go with your chosen theme. Usually people already have an idea of what they want for there husband, wife, or friend.

It is up to you to follow through with all the details, but just remember...a birthday party checklist can be your friend, and being ahead of schedule is not a bad thing.

Adult birthday party ideas for setting the tone of the party is to use creative invitations. Choose a ready made invitation and put a picture of the birthday guest as a baby inside. The invited guests will love it!

If you are ordering invitations, you can choose what you want it to say. Some come with great wording of their own. Remember, this sets the tone for your party!

You can put something like..."Look Who's turning 40", or you can find some great birthday quotes to put with the birthday person's picture...

"Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." - Jack Benny

Make sure to write down any special instructions you might have for the party, for example...specific attire, gifts or no gifts, gag gifts, a dish to share with the guests. Make sure to include whether children are invited or not.

Fun gifts for the older birthdays can be fun and entertaining. Make sure that your birthday person is not sensitive about it.
If everyone at the party is laughing except the honored guest then it is not worth it. Maybe just celebrating that they have made this far will be special to them. Then go with that.

For fun you can put 40 candles on the cake, 40 heluim balloons hanging in the corner. You can do 40 peices of candy in a jar. I am sure you get the idea! It just adds to the fun of the party.

Pin a poster board on the wall, with the birthday guests picture (enlarged) with a birthday quote of your choice and have all the guests write a little birthday greeting to the honored guest on it.

It will be a great keepsake. After the party is over read the the poster. It will be a nice ending touch for the birthday person to enjoy what freinds and family have written!

That will be something you will have to make sure gets done. Through out the party you can remind the guests onr by one to sign it, so everyone has chance to do it.

Pinning neat little birthday quotes around the food table or another central area, or even scattered in noticable places around the house is a great little touch also.

Fun reading material will give the guests something to do while they are nibbling, it is also a conversation starter, and some birthday quotes are just worth reading!

You can also use this as a game later...you can ask the guests to write down how many birthday quotes were pinned on the walls in the house. Or ask the author of one of the well known quotes, etc.

There should always be food at a grown up birthday party. Eating guests are happy guests. We all love to eat.

Finger foods are great because there is variety, you can do hot and cold foods, people can be free to move around and visit, and you can have extra on hand, as you need it. You can also prepare or order ahead of time...there are endless good reasons to do appetizers!!!

There are so many easy foods to prepare, that are low cost. You can't go wrong with chips and salsa. Do fancy cheese and crackers and lunch meat (add some whole olives for decor), a veggie tray with Ranch Dressing. Then do a few homemade or store bought dishes and you are good to go...
meatballs, salad, mini sausages, etc.

And there you go...some great grown up birthday party ideas to make your party planning a little easier! Remember it is about the fun and being prepared, so you can have fun as well.
