All grown up! 27 awesome birthday party ideas for adults

When we hear the words “birthday party,” we think of wee children running around eating birthday cake and busting open a piñata in a grassy backyard. But all it really takes is a handful of cool adult birthday party ideas to get you right back in the game.

As we get older, it seems each birthday is that much less exciting than the last, but it doesn’t have to be that way! No matter what the big number is, there’s something special about dedicating one day a year to celebrating with friends, fabulous food and, of course, a few cocktails.

Since planning a birthday party for someone over the age of 10 can feel like a major challenge, we’ve gathered some great ideas that will help you with every aspect of your bash, from decor to food to drinks.

1. Encourage your party guests to have a good time with a witty welcome sign.

2. Instead of letting balloons hang, stick them to the wall without ribbon using poster tack or just good ol’ static. (Remember rubbing balloons on your hair as a kid and watching them cling to things? Still works!)

3. Trust us; you’re never too old for colored popcorn.

4. If you aren’t the cooking type, no worries.Have a food truck cater your party!

5. Add a “wow” to clear balloons by putting bold, sparkly confetti inside before inflating.

6. Instead of setting out flowers in a vase, why not put them in old booze bottles? Way more fun.

7. If you have a summer birthday, try throwing a traditional New England clambake with newspaper tablecloths, corn, and plenty of cold beer. Or try a classic picnic with hot dogs, hamburgers and gingham table décor.

8. Not crazy about telling your entire party your age? Use a “lost count” cake topper!

9. Instead of putting out ho-hum cheese and crackers, opt for mini tacos and tequila.

10. Let’s be honest—no party is complete without a tassel banner. Make your own or check out party supply stores.

11. Instead of boringcandles on your birthday cake, use mini number or letter balloons on sticks.

12. Did someone say jello shots? And not just any Jello shots, try strawberry margarita shots with real strawberries.

13. Order customized napkins! Easy, fun way to give party a personal touch.

14. If you’re more of a simple, modern type, stick with bold, contemporary party theme. For example, pick a color you love and choose everything in that same shade, including the frosting for the cake.

15. Guest books are boring. Let your guests go crazy and decorate awall-sized piece of paper instead.

16. Mudslide cupcakes are the perfect way to entertain your guests with chocolate and booze.

17. Make your owncustom backdrop for unforgettable photos! All you need is poster paper, canvas or an old sheet and some markers to do a great job.

18. Get modern and crafty with balloons brushed with metallic craft paint.

19. Standard party candy gets a little more grown-up with vodka-and-gummy-bear ice pops.

20. Not sure how to design your birthday invites?Etsy and Pinterest are full of great ideas.

21. Look for cool balloons at the party store. The newest ones feature emojis – think of the great messages you can send with those!

22. Don’t be ashamed to send your invites through the web. You can even invite guests via iPhone!

23. Set up a DIY mimosa bar, complete with cut-up fruit and a variety of juices.

24. Be proud of your agewith candles that disclose the big number.

25. If you can’t rent an actual photo booth, set up a “photo booth” area with special background, and ask people to take turns running it.

26. It’s hip to be square: make jello squares with wine, champagne or vodka. Fun!

27. Instead of real dessert set up a candy buffet. That’s what we all really want, anyway, right?
