From casual and inexpensive to creative and fancy, I am sharing creative party theme ideas for adults. So whether you are celebrating an 18th birthday, a special event, or just planning a fun get-together with friends, when it comes to hosting a party for adults, the possibilities are endless!

I love a good party. And when there are no kids to entertain, the party fun gets taken to the next level!

The best thing about hosting a party for adults is that you can still use the same fun themes but add a wider variety of food, games, and cocktails!

Here are the creative party theme ideas:

BLACK AND WHITE PARTY

This party theme isn't just classic but also inexpensive and easy to decorate. While a black and white party is typically associated with fancy events or big occasions, you can choose to make it as fancy or casual as you please.

Have guests dress in either all black, all white, or both colors. The decoration possibilities here are plentiful, as long as they’re black or white!

VEGAS CASINO PARTY

Everyone loves the glitz and glam of Vegas, so why not recreate it at home? Decorate with Las Vegas signs, dollar signs, dice, and playing cards. Set up fun table games such as poker, roulette, and blackjack and ask guests to arrive in glamorous casino gear.

Set up fun table games such as poker, roulette, and blackjack and ask guests to arrive in glamorous casino gear.If you don’t already have the games at home, you can rent equipment from a local vendor or find smaller versions of the game on Amazon. Roulette lovers will love this seat that includes the wheel and felt number pad.

HALLOWEEN PARTY
Halloween usually focuses on dressing up the kids in costumes. But Halloween can be just as fun for the adults! Decorate the party with pumpkins and spooky decorations, and have guests arrive in fun Halloween costumes. For food, serve up some tasty Halloween party appetizers and creepy cocktails.

CELEBRITY RED CARPET PARTY

This party theme for adults works best when you rent a venue but can also work at home if you have an open room with lots of space. Roll out a red carpet using a long roll of fabric or felt and have guests arrive as their favorite celebrity.

Serve fancy high end cocktails with your fanciest glasses like my Paper Plane cocktail.

Set up a media wall for photo ops, and if your budget allows a professional photographer, even better! Serve champagne on arrival for that exclusive celebrity touch. For food, you want to serve up your top-of-the-line hors d'oeuvres, fit for the A-listers!

MARDI GRAS MASQUERADE PARTY

Bring out the masks and beads! For this formal party theme, decorate using the traditional Mardi Gras colors of green, purple, and gold. For food, traditional New Orleans dishes such as king cake, po'boys, and jambalaya fit the bill perfectly.

Have guests arrive in cocktail dresses, black tie suits, and sparkling, sequined masks to hide their identities. Then at midnight, have everyone remove their disguise and reveal who they are!

70'S DISCO PARTY

Stayin' alive, stayin alive!

This party theme is one that never gets old! Decorate with a disco ball and flashing party lights and turn up the music with hits from that era. Have guests dress up in bell-bottoms, vests, and colorful prints as in the 70's decade.

These ham and cheese sliders are the perfect throwback sandwich everyone will love!

SUPERHERO PARTY

Every adult had a favorite superhero as a child. This fun party theme for adults brings those memories back to life! Have guests dress up as their favorite superhero from childhood.

Decorate with different superhero logos and words such as Boom and Pow! To take the fun to the next level, throw in some “superhero” games such as an obstacle course, limbo, or balloon popping contest. Don’t forget the photo booth!

COCKTAIL TASTING PARTY

This fun theme gives everyone a chance to be a bartender! Mix up your favorite drinks and serve them at cocktail stations. For added fun, have guests mix up a signature cocktail and award prizes for the best one! But like any alcohol-themed party, make sure you have enough heavy food and snacks on hand for absorption! Dressing up is optional.

ADULT PROM

We all remember the excitement of choosing the perfect prom dress during our high school days. With this party theme, you can relive the fun! Asks guests to arrive in a formal prom dress, suit, corsage, and boutonniere.

Decorate with a soda bar, candy bar, snack bar, and a photo booth with a themed backdrop. For music, play songs that were popular during your high school days. For a special touch that will be sure to entertain everyone, ask guests to bring their prom or high school photos for a trip down memory lane!
