Memorable Birthday Party Ideas for Adults

Everyone wants to host the perfect party, and you can make it truly

outstanding with creativity, thought and planning. A great party will create

lasting memories and ensure the event is all over social media, perfect if

your party is for promotional reasons, not just for weekend fun. Whatever

the occasion, these ideas will help to make your event go with a bang.

Party themes

Adults get so few excuses to dress up, so bring back that childhood vibe and

add a theme to your party. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive.

An 80s party theme, for example, is one that everyone can get behind with

just a few neon accessories, a retro tshirt and a can of hairspray, whilst a

film theme gives everyone total scope for creativity. Make it fun,

accessible and visually exciting for great photographic opportunities.

Party locations

Even the most basic room can become magical with sparkling backdrops, a

disco ball, comfy cushions and lots of metallics. Yes, you can go all out

and hire a restaurant or fancy bar, or you can simply look for a 'space'

that's ready to customise for your event. Look for decoration ideas online

or hire a party planner to take care of it for you.

Photo opportunities

Hire a photographer for your party or have a pop-up photo booth with a

hashtag for the event if you're looking to get plenty of social shares.

Props encourage everyone to lose their inhibitions and have fun with

creative poses.

Interactive events

Without things to do, parties can rely a little too heavily on the bar! So

make them interactive. Guests mingling with activities will ensure you

include everyone and bring more introverted souls out of their shell and

right into the fun. Life drawing sessions or cocktail-making classes are

fun, meaningful and actually offer something of value. Why not run two or

three mini activity sessions to delight everyone?

Add the games

Bring on some games to get everyone mingling and chatting with people that

they don't know. They don't have to be complicated - you could choose

anything from Bingo to musical statues for retro and nostalgic fun that will

bring plenty of humour to the event. Hire a professional to run the games

for you with a microphone and sound equipment to make it as simple and

inclusive as possible.

Bring on the interactive entertainment

Hosting a party with a real emphasis on fun? Then get a tiki bar, lots of

photo prop decorations and some naked butlers for hire as your standout

feature. These professionals get everyone laughing, as they're the ultimate

fun and cheeky party hosts. Naked butlers often work via agencies, so you

can find the perfect professionals to suit your event.

Consider catering

If you're hosting a themed party, extend it to your catering choices,

whether you're going for basic chips 'n dips or designer vol au vents served

on silver platters. Have service staff on hand to clear up rubbish so your

party venue stays looking its best.

Try these upgrades for your next party and make it unique for an occasion

that has everyone talking - and sharing photos online - long after the

event! Which ideas will you use for your next event?
