A backyard barbecue offers a relaxed environment for a party.
Home birthday parties for adults provide opportunities for a variety of themes, types of entertainment and other options. You can save money by holding the party at home, leaving more cash for food and activities. The specifics of the adult home birthday party depend on the preferences of the guest of honor. Choose an activity and a guest list that she will enjoy, along with a meal including her favorite foods. Does this Spark an idea?
Theme Party
Theme parties aren't just for kids. Adult theme parties add entertainment to the event. Many themes work well for both kids and adults. Try hosting parties with themes such as the Wild West, luau, Mardi Gras, the '80s or Hollywood. You can also pick a theme based on an activity, such as a casino night, a wine-tasting party or an adult scavenger hunt. Base the invitations, decorations, food and activities around the theme.
Dinner Party
A dinner party offers a simple option without a lot of fanfare. This choice works for nearly any adult birthday party because it is easy to customize. Serve the guest of honor's favorite foods, or choose a themed cuisine such as Mexican or Chinese. A buffet-style meal offers variety to the guests. Keep the guest list smaller for a dinner party and make sure you have enough dining table space for all the guests.
Barbecue
A backyard barbecue is more casual by nature and allows the guests to hang out and relax. Serve a main grilled dish and a few simple side dishes. You can also ask the guests to bring side dishes to share for a potluck-style barbecue party. Outdoor games such as horseshoes, croquet and volleyball fit the theme and add to the entertainment options.
Game Night
A game night is an entertaining way to celebrate a birthday at home. Consider the favorite games of the guest of honor when planning the party. Traditional board games work well; if the guest of honor prefers video games, set up a tournament- style video game party. Serve snacks along with the game activity to keep the guests satisfied. Finger foods and appetizers work well because the guests can snack between rounds of the games.
