A fun birthday party theme for adults is a retro theme party. For example take the year that the birthday guest was born and host a flashback birthday on the year they were born.
Another twist on this is to have the flashback party based on their teenage or college years.Make up your own trivia game with questions about events that took place that year, and what was popular during that year. Just have fun with it. You can also get prizes and party favors that reflect the theme.
Having the guests dress in clothes from that era would also add a lot of fun to the evening. For the 1979 example think bell bottom jeans and shirts with wide collars. There are so many fun birthday party ideas that fit within a flashback/retro concept.
So as an example if someone is turning 31 in 2010 that would mean they were born in 1979. It would be a 1979 party theme. You walk into the house or party space and it would be like walking into 1979.
Everyone would wear clothes from that era, music would be from that era. There could be record albums from that time period used as decorations.
Mello Yello was first distributed in 1979 so that would be a great drink to serve. Have fun making a signature drink that will dazzle everyone at the party. Call it something topical and relevant to that era. Pick up a book published in the late seventies to plan your menu. Ignite your taste buds by serving dishes that their mother made when they were a child!
On the invitation make sure to mention that everyone should come in costume. As a penalty for showing up with no costume, you could have silly costume props on hand that they have to wear!
There are a lot of party games ideas for this theme as well. Make up your own trivia game with questions about events that took place that year, and different pop culture phenomena. You could have a name that tune contest, and a best costume contest. Just have fun with it. You can also get prizes and party favors that reflect the theme. So for a 1979 party you could have prizes be anything with a hippie peace sign on it, like a keychain or notebook.
This would’t be the birthday party theme to throw together at the last minute. There would be a lot of research and leg work to pull it off “well”, but I think it would be well worth it.
You’ll want to plan ahead of time for making sure everything fits the theme: the invitations, the food, the music, the decorations. You’ll also want to invest in extra props for those people who don’t show up in costume. A simple trip to the vintage aisle of a thrift store will take care of this inexpensively.
This adult birthday party ideas theme really works well for anyone 21 years and up. Think of how much fun it would be to do a party from the 1930’s or 1940’s. It would be a real trip down memory lane for older adults who are having a milestone birthday like their 50th, 60th, 70th, or 80th birthday party.
I think it would bring a smile to anyone. Have fun planning, and have fun enjoying your hard work.
