Adult Birthday Party
Games and Ideas







Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...

Here are some adult birthday party games, ideas and activities to make the day really special. Even some gift ideas!

Adult birthday parties often mark a milestone birthday, but you can celebrate any year! Remember, birthday parties aren’t just for kids. Adults like to celebrate too!



Adult Birthday Party Theme Ideas



Kids Party for Adults: Pretend you are a kid again and celebrate your birthday as you did when you were 5 years old with a Kids Party for Adults. No adult birthday party games at this party - instead play all your favorites from when you were a kid!

This is Your Life Party: This is a great way to celebrate an adult birthday! Lots of fun for the guests and the birthday person...the This is Your Life Party is modeled after the famous TV and radio show. Adult birthday party games and party all rolled into one!

Card Party: Plan a card party if you can't have a party due to health or distance. No excuses for not celebrating!

100th, 90th or 80th birthday celebrations (or any senior birthday!): Celebrating a senior birthday? Make your celebration memorable with our page full of ideas, tips and adult birthday party games to help you plan this special celebration.

Decade Party: Celebrate all the decades of the honoree's life at a Decade Party. Lots of trivia on our twentieth century decade timeline

Specific Decade Party: When was the honoree born? If born in the 50's have a 1950's themed party. For my friend Elizabeth who was born in the 1960's, we held a fun 60's party. An easy and instant theme!

Over the Hill: Over the Hill parties are very popular, fun and perfect for the person who isn't truly over the hill!

Around the World in 80 Years: Perfect for an 80th birthday party, this can also work for any year for the person who loves to travel! ( just change the 80 to whatever birthday you are celebrating)

Special Theme: Pick a party theme that salutes what the birthday guy or gal enjoys. For example, if Pamela loves wine, have a wine tasting. If Brenda loves the 1980’s, have a 1980's themed party.

Milestone Birthday Party: Often an adult party is to celebrate a particular milestone - such as a 30th birthday, 40th, 50th, etc. Here are listing of some popular ideas by category:

  • 30th Birthday Party Ideas
  • 40th Birthday Celebration Ideas
  • 50th Birthday Celebrations
  • 80th Birthday Party

    More Themes: You can actully use any party theme to celebrate a birthday. Check out our adult party ideas page for themes such as Casino, Luaus, Margaritaville, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Tacky Parties and more. Pick a theme and add a birthday cake. It is as easy as 1-2-3!

    Not wanting to have a party?

    Bucket List: Have the birthday guy or gal make a "bucket list" of things they would like to do in their life time. Write them all down on sheets of paper, fold up, and then draw one. Then go for it!! You can even make it an annual birthday ritual event. Each year, gather friends and do one thing from the list!

    Virtual Surprise Birthday Party: One of our visitors alerted us to the idea of a Virtual Surprise Birthday Party. What a great way to include guests from near and far! He created a personal website to celebrate his wife's birthday and invited all of her friends to send a private email that would be presented on her birthday.

    She was totally surprised. There were nearly 150 emails received from all over globe, many from friends not seen in years.

    It turned out great. So great, as a matter of fact, that they took what they learned and are now helping others with the upfront effort and expense of creating a virtual party website and emails.

    Visit www.ondisplay.me to see an example of a virtual surprise birthday party website, and learn about what they can do to help you!

    Adult Birthday Party Games and Ideas



    Of course, any adult party game could be played as adult birthday party games at the party you are planning.

    Here are three really fun adult birthday party games and ideas:

    Birthday Bingo:

    Enjoy a bingo game! Create bingo cards where each square is something that is of interest to the birthday guy or gal, such as “Crossword Puzzles”, “Bike Riding”, “Horror Movies”, etc. This is something that can work for all ages of party guests - kids and adults alike (not many adult birthday party games fit that bill!)

    Predict their Future:

    What will the birthday guy or gal be doing in 10 years? Have guests write down their predictions and collect them to read aloud and place in an album.

    Birthday Trivia:

    Play a trivia game about the honoree, or, play a trivia game based on the years that the birthday guy or gal has been alive. Check out our decade timeline to give you some ideas for creating your trivia adult birthday party games.




    Hint: Will your party guests be on the older side?
    If so, visit our page of elderly adult party games. (Full of ideas to help plan
    adult birthday party games just for these guests!)





    Making an Adult Birthday Party Special



    A Custom Tribute:

    Rhymeshop.com provides custom written Poems, Toasts and Tributes for all occasions.

    Official Flag:

    Purchase a flag that has flown over the U.S. Capital: http://www.usflag.org/capitalflag.html. You may even request that your flag be flown on a certain date!

    Presidential Greetings:

    Order a birthday greeting from the President of the United States, for people who are age 80 and older, by visiting the White House website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/index.html#, and selecting “Please follow these guidelines for information about greetings” in the Invitations and Greetings Section.

    Memory Book:

    Before the party, ask guests to tell you their favorite memory about the honoree. Include photos if they are available. Collect these into a memory book to present at the party. You can also make these into a slide show. Don’t limit it to guests. Also collect memories from out of town friends.

    We did this for both my mother and father’s 70th birthdays. What a big hit! It is something they really treasure after the party.

    Top Thirty (or 40, or 50, or 60 ….) List:

    Before the party, ask guests to complete this sentence “I like (the birthday guy or gal) because. . .” Collect as many as the age of the honoree. Combine the answers into a list, frame it and present it at the party. For example, Jimmy is having a 40th birthday, so collect forty things about Jimmy from his friends. “I like Jimmy because he's always up for a game of golf!" You’ll collect some that are sweet and touching, and some that are really funny!

    Another option: You can also create a slide show with these quotes and add photos and music. Show it at the party for all to see.

    Or: Before the party, ask guests to complete the sentence while you video tape their answers. They can tell a funny story or something to back up their sentiment. Show the video at the party.

    Set up a Display:

    A display (this is the display from our friend Jimmy's birthday) of momentos, photographs, and other items is a great addition to any party honoring someone or something.

    Give the Number:

    Ask guests to think of something that matches the age of the birthday guy or gal and bring it as their gift. For example, for a 50th birthday, guests could bring 50 M&Ms, 50 pennies, 50 paperclips, 50 cookies, etc. Give the examples to your guests and see what all they come up with!

    How Old Were You When...?

    For something fun, visit the website www.frontiernet.net/~cdm/age1.html (or Google “Boy the Bear Age Gauge”). Type in the birthdate of the honoree and find out all sorts of interesting facts a birthday timeline which tell the age of the person during important events.

    Golden Birthdays:

    For those turning 31 or less, you may be celebrating a golden birthday. This is when you are turning 21 on the 21st of the month, or 25 on the 25th of the month, etc. It only happens once...so do something a little extra special if this is the year! Perhaps some special adult birthday party games...

    Of course, you can amend this a little. When my mother-in-law turned 70, we celebrated her Golden Birthday. She was born on the 7th...so it seemed fitting to do. Doesn't work for everyone. My birthday is on the 16th of the month, so I guess I need to wait until I turn 116 before I get my next golden birthday!

    Old Photos:

    Go a step beyond collecting old photos...how about old yearbook photos? E-Yearbook.com has many old yearbooks to select from! You could even use this for adult birthday party games, by putting up old yearbook photos and letting everyone guess who the people are.

    Special Frame:

    You've seen it at weddings or other special events. A photographed is framed with a nice wide mat as a border so that all the guests can sign on the mat. These wide mats can be purchased at any craft store with framing supplies, art store or framing store.

    Retro Candy:

    How about tasting your past? Retro Candy & Gifts would be a fun walk down memory lane.
