Adult Party Planning Ideas

For any adult party, be it birthday, bachelor, or others, it is always better to have some ideas and thoughts in place. Think about the reason for the party first, then think of ideas accordingly. For example, a casual, get-together adult party theme may not suit an adult birthday party. Simultaneously, an adult birthday theme may not suit a bachelor party. Since the occasion will be different, the party will be different.

Select an Adult Party Theme

The party themes mentioned below will work for almost every occasion but think about the kind of guests you are calling in before choosing a theme.

Our recommendations –

Favorite Movie

If you want to have some fun time with your mates and enjoy a nice flick, you can think of hosting a movie party. The only thing that you will have to think about is choosing a movie that everyone loves. It can be an emotional movie where no one minds crying ugly, a horror movie to spook everyone, or a comedy movie, where everyone will be rolling over the floor laughing.

Character Play

How about asking everyone coming in wearing the dress of their favorite character. Well, you may see someone as the dashing Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Or someone may come all dressed up as Else and Anna. You never know! But seeing everyone all dressed up will surely brighten the party’s mood.

Wine Pairing

The wine pairing party doesn’t need to be organized at your home. You can choose your favorite winery or restaurant and ask everyone to join in. Taste different wines accompanied by delicious dishes. Talk about all the good times you have had and lose yourself in the moment. This idea is suitable for a bachelor party as well!

Zombie Party

How about a theme where everyone is dressed up as a zombie? And no, it doesn’t have to be Halloween to enjoy a zombie theme! Ask your friends to put on the best spooky makeup to complement the theme. Trust on this; an exciting party theme like this is bound to become a hit!

Masquerade Party

Another excellent and popular adult party theme that you can host is a masquerade party. Craft a beautiful mask for yourself and share the dress code with everyone. The mask can be as loud as it can be with tons of feathers, jewels, and laces, and as simple as you want. Just ensure that the night feels no less than a glamorous and fancy event!

Costume Party

Pretty similar to character play, the difference between a character play and a costume party is that in the character play theme, guests will act like the character they have dressed up as. While in a costume party, they can relax and loosen up. Just that, they need to be in a costume that matches the theme of the costume party. For example, they can come dressed up as a disco dancer, bunny, a retro stylist, and more.

Personalize Your Adult Party

No matter the theme of the party you choose, ensure to add your personal touch. Meaning, you need to make it your own and make it count. For example, if you want to throw a wine party theme, add your favorite wines to the list. If you want a zombie theme, give it a re-touch rather than copying someone else’s idea from the internet. Take ideas, but giving them a personal touch will make you feel good and enhance the environment of the whole theme.

Our Recommendation-

Special Occasion Decorations

Since we are talking about an adult party, it means that you will need decorations that will suit the party. Think of the ambiance you would like to have, and the decoration supplies will fall into places. Here are some decoration ideas that will go for every event and themes:

Balloons, Banners, and Invites

No party is complete without balloons. Consider the colors of the balloons based on the theme, though. The good thing about buying them online is that you will get to choose from a plethora of colors. So, find an online store where you will find balloons in multiple colors that will go well with the theme. For example, if the theme is spooky, go for black, grey, and red.

If it’s a movie theme, you can grab some multi-color balloons. Like that, pick the colors. Just keep in mind the theme, and make a choice.

Then comes banners. Not that every party needs one, but a banner is a must-have if you are going for a theme. Let people be reminded of the theme and the reason for the party. The banner can have fun fonts and colors. Make it bright, poppy, and exciting. Also, add a fun tagline in the banner based on the event and theme.

Once both balloons and banners are ready, prepare the invites. You can create invites online easily these days. Many sites will let you prepare invites for free. Create an invite, download the digital copy, give it a personal touch by adding stickers, and write something catchy, making the invitees come and join the party right away!

After the invites are ready, send them to everyone through social media, email, and messaging apps. Before sending the invites, do ensure the number of guests who will come in.

Table Decorations and Menu

Entertainment at home is a personal affair. You want your guests to enjoy the party and also enjoy the event. For your table decoration, we will recommend adding layers, textures, and colors. Make the table look appealing.

And if there are a lot of guests coming in, better to invest in fine-looking use and throw tableware, such as dishes and cutleries. You don’t want to end up washing the utensils once everyone leaves, right.

However, if there are only a few joining in, then you can take out the best cutleries and tableware that you have kept hidden for so long. Then, you can decorate the table by adding scented candles, flowers, and you can even write the names of the guests on a beautiful piece of paper and keep it on the dish where you want your guests to sit.

This way, you will add your magical touch, and the guests will feel more welcomed.

Also, think about the table decorations based on the theme too. For a zombie apocalypse and zombie theme, we will recommend adding some red colors to the table. For a masquerade party, black will go well.

And for character play, costume play, and movie night, you can keep the table decorations bright, colorful, and cheerful. Once you are done thinking about your table decoration, shift your attention to the menu. What all will you serve? Add starters, main course, and dessert. The menu doesn’t have to correlate with the theme; you can serve whatever you feel like provided the guests like it.

Adult Party Games and Activities

Since it’s a party, you can’t ignore the importance of games and activities. You have got to add them if you want your guests to engage. So, here are some party games and activities ideas that you can think of:

Great Minds Think Alike

Great minds think alike is a fun game. In this game, you will ask a question and give a piece of paper to everyone; else, they can use the note app on their mobile phone. Once you ask a question, you will give them a few seconds to answer. The crux is to be able to match the answers. So, the more people answer the same thing, the more points they grab!

Murder Mystery Games

How about keeping every guest engaged throughout the whole event? Sounds good? Then ask them to play a murder mystery game. You can choose any online murder mystery game. Just ensure that the game has tons of characters, scripts, and clues, which will help the players play the game.

Who Am I?

Pretty much like dumb charades, you have Who am I. In this game, you will keep a bowl full of famous people. Each person will draw a slip, and he or she will enact like the person, and the rest will have to guess who that person is.

Never Have I Ever

Never have I ever is popular among adults, and this game is a classic. Rather than asking some generic questions, you can get help from the internet and find out never have I ever games that have a variety of questions. Pick those that you think are different and will be fun to ask.

Along with the questions, prepare some paper cups filled with booze. So, whenever a person replies no for an answer, meaning they have never done that, that person will have to take a sip of the booze. Watch how many of them are being honest and how many of them are becoming tipsy!

Truth or Dare

Another classic game that you can add is truth or dare. For truth, as you know, the person doesn’t need to do any activity, but for a dare, pick some activities that will be fun to do! The dare can be anything, but we will suggest keeping it related to the theme, which will make the game even more fun!

Pictionary

How about preparing some cards with movie names, objects, cartoon characters, and more? Let one random person pick a card and draw something around it so that their teammates can guess it. Set a timer to guess the answer. If they can’t, the team will lose a point. Pretty easy to do, but the house will be filled with laughter.

Adult Party Favors

Even if it’s an adult party, no one can deny the joy of receiving a party favor, and that’s a great way to convey your appreciation towards the guests who have joined you. So, to make the event grand, don’t forget to add adult party favors to the list. Your adult party favors can be anything.

You can add home-baked, elegantly decorated cookies, mini cupcakes, retro candies, and so much more. If not, you can give away a fine bottle of wine, fruits, keychains related to the theme, gourmet chocolates, etc. These are some ideas that you can pick from.

Other Things to Consider

Few other things that you can add to your party decoration are greeting cards, novelties, such as party accessories, cake decoration, banners, ice trays to store ice for whiskey, inflatable toys to give the party a funny touch, napkins, disposable plates, bowls, spoons, forks, etc.

FAQs on Adult Party

1. What’s the Goal for Your Adult Party?

Whenever you plan for an adult party, always think about the reason to host a party. You need to consider the goal. For example, is it your birthday, an anniversary, a bachelor party, a festival, or just a get-together? Also, think about how you will like your guests to be. Do you want them to play some games, watch a movie together, or drink and talk? These things will help you plan better.

2. How Many Guests Do You Plan on Having for Your Ault Party?

Create a list of guests that you want to invite. Without the guest list, you could end up making too little or too much food. Not just this, without knowing who all will be coming can create difficulty in choosing a theme.

3. Will You Need Any Special Equipment for Your Adult Party?

When we say special equipment, it means whether you will need specific objects and items for the party. For example, maybe a music system, a large TV, and so on. If so, better to rent it for a day for the event, rather than buy.
