Planning a birthday celebration for a child is simple. You get a cake, balloons and put together fun games, and all the guests are happy. Organizing a birthday party for an adult can be a bit more difficult. You want to make it special and memorable, while ensuring that every guest has a great time. These six birthday celebrations will entertain and usher in a new year of life for the guest of honor in a special and unforgettable way.
Garden Chic
Nothing is more beautiful than bringing the elegance of a well set table to the outdoors. The sophistication of the dining room in the garden makes a perfect birthday celebration for a warm night. Set tables with linens, silverware, china and crystal. Beautiful floral arrangements and sparkling light fixtures are extra touches that will add charm and warmth to the party.
Cocktail Buffet
Adult parties deserve adult beverages. Instead of hiring a bartender for the party, let the guests create their own beverages with a cocktail buffet. Provide an assortment of spirits, juices and garnishes for the guests to create their own masterpiece cocktails. Ask guests to give their new creations creative names and collect all the recipes. You can have a cocktail recipe book printed and present it as a birthday gift to the guest of honor.
Memory Lane
Nothing is sweeter than reliving old memories with friends and family. For a special night that will create many new memories, make a timeline of the birthday person’s life using old photos and mementos. You can organize it in chronological order so that they can literally walk down memory lane.
Game Day
It sometimes happens with sports fans that a birthday falls on the day of a big game. You can take advantage of this by planning a celebration around the event. Set up multiple big screen televisions and provide chips, dips, beer and wings to make a fun birthday celebration that will feel like a personal Super bowl.
Vintage Celebration
For the birthday person with a sophisticated palate, a vineyard party may be the perfect way to incorporate their tastes into the celebration. Most vineyards have party venues where guests can sample the best of their wines coupled with light hors d’oeuvre that perfectly pair with the selections. Try making it classy by having a The Stage Depot stage set up with a string quartet playing in the background. Your vintage birthday celebration will be one to be remembered with these additions.
Murder Mystery
There are few things as entertaining as a murder mystery party in which all of the guests are given a role to play. One of the guests is the murderer, and the other guests must find out who it is before it is too late. This celebration includes costumes, intrigue and plenty of fun.
Having a great birthday party or any get together can be what memories are made of. A well thrown party will be something you can reminisce about with friends for years to come. Whether you throw a casual sports party at home or a chic celebration at a formal venue, these six ideas include the perfect party for a variety of tastes.
