Adult birthdays

One often-neglected but very classy touch for adult birthdays is sending guests home with party favors. Sure, you're cooking or catering and spending a nice chunk of cash to put on the dog, however, a thoughtful take-home gift makes you a sterling host. Sometimes party favors just for the women is fine, or, if it's a couples party, "couple" gifts work well . When choosing favors for adults, think small, creative and always give something you'd like to receive yourself. You don't have to spend a lot, just don't be tacky about it. ;-) A perfect solution to any adult bash are personalized chocolate bars. Have the birthday honoree's name, date of the party and whatever else you think would be fun written on the wrapper. Most guests would love a chocolate bar to take home and indulge their sweet tooth! Another very cool and classy party favor is an appropriately decorated shaped cookie favor individually wrapped and very fun to hand out as guests leave.

Adult party games are loads of fun and can really make your party come alive. A lot of adults have forgotten how fun it is to play, be silly and get lost in a frivolous activity! Printable Birthday Games has really fun adult party games you can instantly print as many as you'll need from your computer for a small fee.

And always have at least one beautiful arrangement of fresh cut flowers and festive balloons to compliment your party decor. This will add the finishing touches to your gorgeous room. A table centerpiece helps make the room look festive and makes it easier to lay out your party food around the centerpiece. A sprinkling of birthday confetti on the table adds a little whimsy. For extra fun, lock on a roll of festive toilet paper in the bathroom to keep guests giggling and feeling festive. :-)
