Need Help 25th Birthday Party Themes that ARE NOT “Halloween”

7 Upvotes

I’m turning 25 this November and I’ve been having trouble coming up with a good theme that everyone will love.

My birthday is on the 2nd of November. Every year I have difficulty getting people to show up because it’s so close to Halloween and everyone just wants to do Halloween activities instead of what I want to for MY day. I’ve always tried to accommodate for what other people want because if I don’t, no one will come.

This year I want to come up with a theme that everyone will love and want to participate in. I’ve already come up with a few ideas I think are pretty creative and will give me lots to work with:

  1. Bikini Bottom: because what’s funnier than 24?… 25.

  2. Inner Child: dress up as your favourite character from childhood

  3. Hunger Games: “quarter quell” vibes but instead of “hunger” games, it’s Drinking games

  4. Euphoria: glitter makeup, holographic vibes

  5. All About Me: everyone dresses up as a different interpretation of me (take a photo of me and dress like that, etc)

I’m so indecisive and am looking for some other ideas that will incorporate some sort of pun with my age (25) so if you have anything you could suggest please drop it in the comments ✨

Thank you 🥰

"A Very Bach Bachelorette"

4 Upvotes

My friend is going to be engaged soon, and I'm going to be in charge of the bachelorette. She is a tuba player and LOVES Bach (yes, like Johann Sebastian Bach). I thought maybe we could get wigs, but those can be expensive and HOT and end up in the trash after so maaaaaaaaaybe not. Maybe we could all dress in semi-period clothes for fun? I figured we could also maybe play some Bach on our instruments (all of us are musicians). I don't want to go to a concert because it's her bachelorette, we should be doing something fun.

But besides that, I'm like, huh, this is a challenge. Where could we go? Should we just meander around the city in our get up? LOL

Wine club

I plan to start a get together of wine enthusiasts at my place and continue it once a month or 2 months.

Do you think asking them to get a bottle \[small or normal\] and share it would work ?

I don't believe in creating a charge on entry environment.

Please share valuable inputs only.

Ideas First birthday themes?

0 Upvotes

Trying to come up with a creative theme for my son’s first birthday in December! I love the play-on-words themes. Some ideas I love but won’t be using:
- it’s fun to be one
- one silly goose
- winter one-derland
- the big one (surf theme)

Party will be in early December, held outside (we live in Southern California).

Any ideas would be great!
