People of any age appreciate birthday presents.
Hosting a birthday party for an adult can be challenging yet enjoyable. Adults are not as easily impressed as children, so you have to be slightly more creative when it comes to throwing a theme party. But, you do not have to break the bank to make an impact.
Dessert Buffet
Cheesecake is a great addition to a dessert buffet.
The best part of any birthday celebration is when the host rolls out the cake. But, when every dish is a dessert, there is no reason to wait. Satisfy a sweet tooth by throwing a dessert buffet party. Decide ahead of time what desserts to include in the buffet, and then let the party guests sign up to bring a dish. Check with the guest of honor for any food allergies, such as nuts, to ensure all goes well.
Wine Mixer
Include both red and white wines at the wine mixer.
Purchasing enough wine for an entire birthday party can be quite costly, and it is nearly impossible to cater to the tastes of everyone on the guest list. The solution to both problems is to hold a wine mixer birthday party. Invitations to the wine mixer should include a request to bring a bottle (or two) of a favorite wine for all guests to sample. Provide suitable snacks for the wine tasting, such as cheese, fruit, olives, crackers and bread. Play upbeat jazz music in the background to keep guests alert without hindering conversation.
This Is Your Life Party
Include medals in the party decorations.
A birthday party that celebrates and pays tribute to the life of the honored guest is both thoughtful and inexpensive. A "This Is Your Life" party will probably work best for someone who has lived for quite some time, or who has accomplished many things so far. Decorations for the party will consist of photographs of the honoree, and any plaques or awards he or she has earned. Prepare a biography for the individual to be read aloud at the party, and invite one or two special guests to share a humorous or heartwarming anecdote.
