When you were a kid, it was so easy to pick a favorite theme or place to host your party, but as an adult, it can be trickier. Meet me at that bar we love! Make every year a milestone year with these 35 adult birthday party ideas. Have everyone come in their favorite pajamas or athleisure and bring their go-to board game from way back when, like Dream Phone or Guess Who? And for an extra dose of nostalgia, have goody bags for the winners. If you want to go the extra step, host the party at a spa instead, so you don’t have to worry about getting anything set up. Is it worth getting a year older without the frosting and candles?

Ask each guest to forgo gifts and bring their favorite cake instead. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate your day than indulging in multiple sweet treats. Let’s face it: everyone loves a dinner party. If you don’t want to ask everyone to bring their own food, create a menu of your favorite homemade meals, and then cook them for your big day. We love a glass of vino and learning a little something.

Savvy wine clubs like Winc offer a wine tasting 101 kit that is perfect for parties and digging into the nuances of your favorite bottle. Rent out a theater at your local cineplex and ask them to play your favorite movie. Hand out the popcorn, candy, slushies, etc. PS: You can also do something similar at your own place for way cheaper. Serve up some happy hour snacks along with the drinks and create a killer playlist. It’s like having your party at a bar, but way better. We’re talking suits and stilettos, jazz in the background, and plenty of hors d’oeuvres.

Host at home or at your favorite neighborhood speakeasy. Research the perfect pairings for wine and cheese, or wine and anything really, on a site like Wine Folly. If you want to go all out, offer wine flights to your guests. Instead of staying in, head to the city for a wine tasting. Increasingly, the urban winery trend is making it more convenient for urbanites to get the vineyard experience without having to travel out of town. Plus many wineries offer great menus. Call ahead to reserve a birthday cake and plenty of seats for your party.

Choose your favorite cocktail or craft brew, whether it be mezcal margaritas or tiki drinks. Then, decide on a fun neighborhood and map out a walkable or ride-share route to various breweries or bars that serve the best of your chosen tipple. Ask to have your fête right in the footwear department. Craft custom pieces together and take them home. Find one at luxury hotels or your local tea room and channel the U. To make it feel more like a celebration, opt for champagne with your tea.

You could choose any theme, but we personally love those home décor DIYs that aren’t too challenging to make and everyone goes home with something for their space—like IKEA hacks. Take a cue from the 70’s and host a disco party at the local roller rink, even if you’ve never roller skated before. You can wear chic retro gear and knee socks while rolling away to the fun and funky tunes. Take a trip with your friends to your favorite vintage or thrift store before the party to pick out your perfect outfit. Celebrate your love of The Great Gatsby and get out those flapper dresses or old-school suits, and learn how to do the Charleston together during a Roaring Twenties-themed celebration.
