Take international travel to your house by hosting an around-the-world party! Each room can be themed with decorations, food, and drinks from different countries. Examples include champagne and cheese spreads for France and sake and sushi for Japan.
Backyard Field Day Party

Think back to field day as a kid: obstacle courses, tug of war, face painting, and more. For your next birthday, select the games that brought you the most joy as a kid and set them up in the backyard. If you want to make it even more “adult-like,” set up a beer pong or flip cup table and get the 21+ fun rolling.
Afternoon Tea Party

Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte really got us into our tea party era. So why not re-create an afternoon tea party filled with cucumber sandwiches, bruschetta, and various tea selections? Look to Etsy for pretty invitations and decorations. Plus, you can always reuse a glass or porcelain tea set!
Murder Mystery Party

A murder mystery party makes for an exciting and fun birthday. If you don’t think you can create a realistic plot, hire a professional company for the evening. Experienced actors will come in and give you a mysterious show. Pick from themes like a speak-easy setting or a haunted mansion.
Bottomless Mimosa Brunch

Did somebody say bottomless mimosas? Create your own bottomless brunch with food favorites like eggs Benedict, chocolate chip pancakes, chicken and waffles, and more. Pick up the champagne and choose the juice! Orange juice is a must, but bubbly also pairs well with cranberry, grapefruit, and pomegranate juice.
