Getting the best food and drink prepared is a must. But all of these things are nothing without the bare essentials like bags, planners and flyers.

Executing it will take careful planning and solid execution, but we have no doubts in your ability to make someone smile!


You are going to want to have everything looking A1. Remember, a party means a crowd of happy people most likely armed with smartphones. These pics will be all over social media, so that’s all the more reason to keep up appearances. Let’s get organising! Here we have compiled 100 of the best birthday party ideas for holding an amazing birthday party.


Outdoors

Get your guest’s circulation going with any of these 20 fun outdoor birthday party ideas.

Camping

It’s number one for a reason, camping is a great way to get off the grid and concentrate on the celebrations. And, once you have gathered all the essentials, it’s pretty inexpensive. Get everyone to pitch in (get it? tent, pitch in:) and make sure that you have everything you need – organization is key to successful camping. Make it a no-phone zone so that you can sit around the fire, and chat into the early hours. For the more pampered amongst us, glamping is a great way to try out living in the wild but with WIFI and running water.

Bouncy Castles

Are still a firm favourite for kids parties and are a far cry from the basic four walls of years gone by. These days there are magnificent structures with different rooms, tunnels, troughs and turrets. Adult bouncy houses are super fun, organise things like time trials. One important thing is to make sure that you have got the right size and that it is spacious enough for grown-up jumpers.

Bubble football

Keeping with the inflatable theme, bubble football is a hilarious way to pass an hour or two. Imagine Fred Flintstone zorbing. Get competitive if you want but Bubble Football is more fun when you don’t take it too seriously. It’s hot, and hard to see out, but it’s pretty high up there on the safety scale and you’re guaranteed a few lols.




Water Sports

The success of a water sports birthday party hinges on the type of crowd going. With every theme there could be a cohort of complainers, but water sports will quickly reveal these people. But the good news is there’s a wide range for all skill levels. From kayaking to rowing and surfing to jet skis, do your research to find a water based activity that will suit everyone.

Cycling

Rent a group of bikes and get the group out for a two wheeled spin. Immerse yourselves in nature along cycle parks and trails. Cycling is still a social sport as you can still chat as you ride. But it’s also a great way to get to know a city. Get a map and mark out all the tourist spots for some proper sightseeing.




Go Karting

Go karts come in all different shapes and sizes and all of them are fun! There is nothing like zooming around a race track to get the adrenaline going. The best idea for a party is to take part in a Grand Prix where your group races each other. You usually get a few minutes warm up included in this package and once everyone is comfortable behind the wheel, then it’s every person for themselves.

Climbing walls

Are surprisingly fun and unsurprisingly difficult. There are different levels and beginner is for those of us who can barely climb a stairs. Once you get the hang of it (get it?!) You’ll be flying up and down. Definitely have a few races amongst yourselves to keep the pressure on. One word of warning, long nails and rock climbing is an uncomfortable combination.



Ziplining

There could be tears with this one. All bravado tends to evaporate when you’re 15 metres in the air and looking down. But it is safe!! And exhilarating. There are different levels and lengths to cater to everyone. The fear is gone after the first go and everyone should try zip lining at least once in their lives!

Festival

Make memories that last a lifetime with a festival birthday party. Festival’s cater to summer babies mainly, especially if you want to organise a music festival party. But before you commit to Glastonbury, see what’s out there first. There’s food, culture and literature festivals happening all over the world. Pick the one that suits the party!




Sumo wrestling

Like bubble football but with a sumo wrestler’s body and without the football. This is one game that nobody takes seriously. Even while being slapped and pushed around the place. The best part is when you’re on your back and can’t get up. Tournaments are definitely called for.

Laser tag

Step back to the 90’s with Laser Tag, the beauty about this game is that it never dates. Played with guns which fire Infrared beams, this tag game is safe and popular with all ages. Because there are no physical projectiles it is suitable for kids and adults alike.





Paintballing

Do you ever just want to shoot someone? Well now you can! In a safe and controlled environment of course. Played in teams, the objective is to fire little balls of paint at your opponents. There’s lots of running, ducking and diving involved. It’s a good idea to wear dark clothes that cover everything to avoid any direct contact with skin.

Obstacle course

The beauty of an obstacle course is that you have an endless choice about where you set it up. You can buy all of the stuff online from websites like Amazon or eBay and then set it up in a garden or park. The games can be easy, time trials, balancing objects etc. you could even mix in some old-skool kids birthday party ideas like egg and spoon races or three legged runs.



Open bus road trip

These services are usually reserved to city breaks, but are a great way to see your new surroundings. They usually consist of a guided tour and will let you know about the history of the buildings, streets and areas. Open bus tours are best kept for dry days and a low-key atmosphere.

Horse-riding

There’s just something about horses that bring out the best in a person. So why not spread that joy to the whole party. This is a relaxing and team-building activity! Choose the perfect equestrian centre for your birthday party ideas from their menu of lessons, trails and courses.




Archery

This is one of the more skilled activities on this list, but is no less fun! Archery, as you can imagine needs boundaries so make sure your crowd is willing to play by the rules. Certified instructors might even be willing to come to your location of choice. Regardless of where it happens, this is definitely an activity that you will remember.

Arcade games

Take a trip back to your childhood with some vintage arcade games. A bit of Pacman or Mario Kart is sure to get the party started and a great way to bond with your gang. There’s usually things like ping pong and foosball tables and most of these places sell alcohol too, so be prepared for some good, clean rowdiness.




Pool party

A pool party sounds like an excellent idea for superb weather. Grab your friends and find the best pool possible. You can prepare summer cocktails with floral paper straws, introduce a cute poolside picnic or add tissue paper fans! Pool games should not be limited to pool volleyball or water hoops. Have a try of marco polo or ping pong scramble to really bring the party to life!

Golf

Sounds like a dream to some and a nightmare to others so make sure you have the crowd behind you with this one. The good thing is that it is a full day’s activity. Make sure you can rent all the required equipment and have suitable clothing. If you have a party full of non-golfers then maybe try the fun, younger cousin version that is crazy golf.




Treasure hunt

This can be as simple or as ambitious as you want. Create your own version or look for event planners that specialize in this area. The mission can be as simple or as complicated as you want. The most important thing is that it is well-thought and well-executed! Make sure there’s a prize at the end for added incentive.

Indoors

There’s nothing wrong with staying indoors! Some of the best activities can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.

Karaoke

There’s no better ice-breaker than belting out some tunes at the top of your voice. You can play the video game version, download a selection of apps or book into a karaoke hub. Either way, a sing-a-long is something that people of all ages can enjoy. You don’t need to have a good voice either, in fact usually the most entertaining are those not blessed with vocal acrobatic ability.



Arts and Crafts

Channel your inner creative with some artsy activities like pottery making, or life drawing (depending on the maturity levels of your party of course). Keeping your hands busy is a relaxing way to bond with your group and the best part is you will have something to take away and remember the day forever.

Cocktail-Making

Now we’re talking! Not surprisingly, this is a firm favorite for hen parties and for good reason. Learn science of creating contemporary cocktails (and guess how many are going to be gin based.) It is an art in itself and it’s always worth knowing how to make a mojito or margarita. You never know when you might need.



Dance Class

Dust off the cobwebs and get your dancing shoes on with some dance classes. All you have to do is grab your partner and feel the rhythm to start having a good time! The dance floor is yours. Whether it’s swing or salsa, ball-room or belly-dancing, make sure you pick one that will be fun for your group.

Cookery classes

Most people want to step up their culinary game give them the chance with a cookery class birthday party. Maybe you need more experience in serving up vegetarian dishes, or perhaps an introduction to Sushi might go down a treat. There is nothing wrong with having a wide variety of dishes to choose from, so learn some new recipes at your nearest cookery class!



Baking

Why not indulge in some baking for your next birthday party idea? There really is nothing wrong with baking the perfect cake to keep everyone content. Serve up some delicious chocolate brownies and you are sure to have the entire party in love with you!

Wine-tasting

Alcohol and (adult) birthday parties often go hand-in-hand. Everything in moderation or maybe a little bit more! You can add an extra level of fun to proceedings by serving the wine in black glasses or brown paper bags. That way your guests will have to guess which bottle is which! The most important thing though is to make wine tasting fun.

Trampolining

Trampolining is not just for kids! You can head to your closest trampoline park and get bouncing to celebrate the perfect birthday party. Get your shoes off and remember not to hit off anyone! Try some flips or hop in to the foam pit to make things extra fun. You can even play basketball or dodgeball whilst bouncing- what could possibly go wrong?

Photo Booth

The photo booth is always a great idea for groups. It brings people together as they take both intentional and unintentional photos of themselves! This can often lead to quite hilarious results. People will more than likely be caught pulling bizarre face gestures and odd postures- but that’s all part of the fun!



Bowling

Make sure your arm has a good swing when you go bowling for the perfect birthday party. And take down those gutter guards! You want to be fully focused as you aim to impress your friends with that perfect aim. And who knows- you may achieve an excellent strike.

VR Bars

Go all out and have the most unique birthday possible by hitting up a VR bar! You can choose your reality by trying out one of the many games on offer. Watch adventure dazzle before your eyes and unlock your imagination by placing on the headset. Grab a cocktail and hop on the roller coaster!




Roller Skating

Roll back to your youth with a roller-skating party dea. It can be hard to find your feet on the skate rink, but hopefully a few experienced heads are on hand to help you. Try to get a rhythm going as you make your way around the rink and most importantly enjoy yourself with your friends. Don’t be afraid to try a few tricks once you have become comfortable.

Gig

It’s always a great idea to get to your local bar or music venue and see which local bands are on offer. Find your favourite and book them to play at your party! There is nothing better than some quality live music, your friends and family and a few drinks to keep everyone entertained. Don’t stand too close to the speakers though or you’ll have problems hearing the next day!



Aquariums

Feeding fishes will also be a lot of fun to do while at home. Aquariums can set up a good mood and ambience for a birthday party.

Spa Relaxation

is at the top of some people’s minds when it comes to celebrating a birthday. Maybe you don’t want the noise of a club night out or the exercise involved in an activity. It’s sometimes best just to chill out and recover mentally and physically from your busy schedule! Take some time off for your birthday party and book a spa day with your closest friends.

Escape rooms

Grab a team of friends and family and hit up the crystal maze! An escape room is just as fun. You work together as a team and think up of new ways to solve puzzles and escape from a room within a certain time frame. Sounds fun right? This is the perfect birthday party idea as it gets everyone involved and thinking together.




A photo shoot

Posing for a photo-shoot is potentially one of the funniest activities you can have on your birthday. Selfies are ingrained in our lives these days, so why not bring your friends and family for a birthday party photo shoot and push the idea even further! Make the best use of costumes and props as you laugh your way to some dodgy photographs. You can also get your image retouched afterwards to keep the fun going!

Murder mystery

 Whodunnit? This is a great one for getting the entire party guessing who committed the terrible crime! You can play along with murder mystery character cards and fake handcuffs if that gets the pulses racing. Everyone gets a labeled nametag and a corresponding character card to get people in the mood. To make it even more fun, each person gets a prop that matches with their character. The person with the most votes has to wear the handcuffs! Keep guessing until you get to the bottom of this horrible murder.

Pub quiz

Nothing beats the standard pub quiz to get the friends arguing and the brightest pal brimming with answers! Whether its sport, general knowledge, film or music there really is something for everyone when each team takes to the table. But be careful, it’s only a game. Some pub quizzes have descended into argument and heated competition between groups. The best team will always come out on top! And the person who knows the least has to write!

Themes

Perhaps you want your birthday party to embrace a well-known tradition or theme. From Gatsby to Pokemon themed parties- we have you covered.

Clown & Circus

Word of warning; this birthday party idea is not for everyone! There’s bound to be people at your party that have an irrational fear of clowns. Gauge your guests and make sure that a circus theme will suit the masses. If it does, then your good to go! Whip out the carnival popcorn maker and bubble gum machine to make things feel really circusy.

Vintage

Why not look to the past and celebrate your birthday with a 1940’s vintage theme. Party decor can include multicoloured balloons and crepe paper streamers. Antique looking plates and vintage toys (Kaleidoscopes, wooden yo-yos and slingshots) are all necessary inclusions at this special event!




Celebrity

Embrace the celebrity culture that we now live in and ensure that your guests do too! Whether you are Brad Pitt or Marilyn Monroe, you can dress up as your hero and add a bit of spice to the proceedings. Hopefully your costume is obvious to your guests! If not, then it can be just as fun to have guessing games among guests to see who the famous person is. It can be fun to slip into the shoes of a celebrity for the night!

Gatsby

A roaring twenties inspired get together is a popular idea and one that is guaranteed to keep your party long in the memory of your guests.

The kids are sure to be happy with this excellent birthday party idea at home.

Photo themed

Parties and photography have always seemed to have a good relationship. And this should be no different when it comes to your birthday party! Plenty of unique and funny moments from the party should be captured on photo for a variety of memories!

The possibilities are endless!
