You’re never too old to throw a fun party in honor of your birthday. Whether planning a bash for yourself or a loved one, make it memorable by incorporating a unique theme. Having this overarching framework will also make it easier to plan finer details like decor and menu at your chosen event space. Here are a few ideas to consider.

3 Fun Birthday Party Themes for Adults

1. Roaring Twenties

Take your guests back in time with a party that takes place during the 1920s. Invite folks to dress as gangsters and flappers, and purchase fedora hats and boas or long beaded necklaces as party favors. Decorate the event space with black and gold streamers and balloons and Art Deco style accents. Classic jazz music will provide the perfect entertainment and ambiance. 

2. Masquerade

If you have a formal birthday party in mind, a masquerade is an elegant theme. Ask guests to wear evening gowns and tuxedos, and of course, masquerade masks. Decorations help to set the mood of the party. Sprinkle sequins on tables, and drape rich fabrics like velvet and silk from the ceilings. You can play classical music or hire a string quartet if you prefer live music.

3. Poker/Casino

If you prefer games to dancing, a casino night is always a rousing success. Decide what card games to play ahead of time, like Texas Hold’em or Black Jack, and hire a few dealers to staff the tables. Arrange the gaming tables as you would find them in casinos, and give away decks of cards or gaming chips as party favors.

No matter what theme you choose for your birthday party, the Starlite Lounge & Banquet Room in Lincoln, NE, is the ideal event space to host it.
