Birthday Parties for Adults

Adult birthdays are a little more complicated than children's birthday parties, especially if it's a big bash. 

Send birthday invitations at least 3 weeks in advance and remember to include an RSVP so you'll know how many guests to plan for.

One often-neglected but very classy touch for adult birthdays is sending guests home with party favors. Sure, you're cooking or catering and spending a nice chunk of cash to put on the dog, however, a thoughtful take-home gift makes you a sterling host. Sometimes party favors just for the women is fine, or, if it's a couples party, "couple" gifts work well . When choosing favors for adults, think small, creative and always give something you'd like to receive yourself. You don't have to spend a lot, just don't be tacky about it. ;-) A perfect party favor solution to any adult bash are personalized chocolate bars. Have the birthday honoree's name, date of the party and whatever else you think would be fun written on the wrapper. Most guests would love a chocolate bar to take home and indulge their sweet tooth! 

Adult party games are loads of fun and can really make your party come alive. A lot of adults have forgotten how fun it is to play, be silly and get lost in a frivolous activity! For fun, printable adult party games, see: Printable Birthday Party Games - print as many game sheets as you'll need instantly.

A very cool and fun trend is to have a chocolate fountain set up with cut fruit, berries, marshmallows, pretzels, nuts, cookies and anything else you can think of that would be good dipped in luscious chocolate. This works great for adult and kid parties. Chocolate fountains can be set up at the dessert table, on the main food table or stand alone in a place of honor. Guests will mingle and have a blast dipping goodies in awesome flowing chocolate.

The latest in greatest in party surprises is creating custom soda bottle labels for your celebration. Use a photograph, the birthday honoree's name and party date and Jones Soda (OMG delicious!) will create awesome soda in personalized bottles just for your you. Jones Soda is already a huge pop culture phenomenon in many parts of the U.S. You will love these custom bottle labels and the unique and standard soda flavors will delight and surprise your guests. This one touch will add a classy and whimsical touch to your party, I promise!

While you're customizing soda bottles, do the same with personalized birthday water bottles!

And always have at least one beautiful arrangement of fresh cut flowers and festive balloons to compliment your party decor. Custom imprinted balloons are great and photo balloons are really cool. This will add the finishing touches to your gorgeous room. A table centerpiece helps make the room look festive and makes it easier to lay out your party food around the centerpiece.  A sprinkling of birthday confetti on the table adds a little whimsy. For extra fun, lock on a roll of festive toilet paper in the bathroom to keep guests giggling and feeling happy. :-) 

Make sure you have enough ice! Don't rely on your ice maker and actually having time to create tons of ice, this is the time to spend a little, get a lot. :-) Estimate 1 pound of ice per person (not just for drinks but for chilling wine, beer, water bottles, etc).

A super manual for any celebration you'll be hosting is Big Book of Parties by Diane Warner. If you'll be throwing more than one party in your lifetime, large or small, do yourself a favor and own Big Book of Parties.
