Adult Birthday Party Ideas

From LoveToKnow Party

Make room in your schedule for some grown-ups-only time with these adult birthday party ideas. Everyone knows that when a party is held for a mixed aged group, it becomes all about the kids. If what you want for your birthday is some time off from the little ones to mix with people your own age, these birthday party ideas are for you.

Adult Birthday Party Ideas – Themes to Consider

If you’ve thrown a string of Barney, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Disney princess parties for your little ones, it might seem like themed parties are for the kids, and of course, not all parties have to have themes. In fact, for some people, the idea of just gathering a group of grown up friends together for chit chat, a few drinks and some birthday cake sounds like heaven. However, if you want something a little different and a birthday party to remember, an adult-friendly theme is a surefire way to jazz things up. Consider the following ideas.

Mardi Gras Party

There are few parties in the world bigger than Mardi Gras, but if you can’t make it to the real thing, you can steal a few tricks for your birthday celebration. Party supply stores keep Mardi Gras masks in stock all year round, so purchase some for your guests – or if they are game, have everyone make their own masks and hold a best mask contest. Naturally beads are de rigueur at Mardi Gras, though you can develop your own system for handing them out at your birthday party. There are plenty of food and drink ideas associated with Mardi Gras, such as king cake, hurricane and grenade drinks, jambalaya and po’boys. For decorations, think lots of bright, bold colors, and don’t forget to stock up on jazz and zydeco music for dancing.

Casino Party

If you can’t get to Vegas, bring Vegas to you with a casino party. Check out the party rental services in your area to find out about renting blackjack tables and roulette wheels – most rental services can supply you with dealers and other “casino” workers to run the games you decide to have at your party. Give each guest a set amount of chips to gamble with. There’s no need to play for cash (and in fact, in some states, that’s not allowed). Instead, you can devise some kind of scoring system, such as trading chips in for tickets that allow people to bid on prizes later in the night. For a fun twist, think Rat Pack-era for the music and décor, and ask people to dress in outfits fit for a night at the casino with Frank Sinatra and friends.

Wine Tasting Party

If you’re looking for something a little more refined for your birthday party, consider a wine tasting party. There are a few different ways you can execute this adult birthday party idea. You could ask all of your party guests to bring along a bottle or two of their favorite wine so everyone can sample each other’s picks – if you do this, you may want to assign people certain varieties of wine so you don’t end up with everyone bringing the same thing. Alternatively, you can hire a wine expert to come and give your guests a master class in tasting and pairing wine. That expert will bring the wine with them – though be aware that they will want to sell their wares to you guests. You could also do a wine pairing party, where you pair wine with different cheeses, different types of food, or different desserts. Very civilized!


The above ideas are just a few of the many options you could choose for your adults-only birthday party. Of course, a simple cake and conversations with your friends can make for a perfect party as well. The only rule in party planning is to make sure you plan an event that you and your guests enjoy, so be creative and throw a birthday party to remember.
