From earlier eras to the nostalgia of your youth, throwback parties are a top pick. Think outside the box, finding ways to transport your guests back in time.

#5 Winter Wonderland
We don’t get snow often, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a dreamy indoor or outdoor winter wonderland. Decorate with snowflakes, holiday décor, and a giant snow globe that doubles as a photo booth. That’s right, you can walk inside the globe to take your photos!Have fun with it and hop on the growing adult party trend, by renting a winter-themed bouncy house. In addition to jumping, many inflatables have slides, hoops, and other games built in.
#6 Niche-Interest Parties
Niche interests serve as excellent theme party ideas for adults. So, if you and your friends have a hobby or activity you love use it as inspiration for your next celebration.For example, if you like to bake you could host a friend-only event for National Donut Day or World Baking Day. Guests can buy or bake a dessert, you can bake, or you can bake together as a group activity. Maybe try a complex recipe from one of your favorite cooking shows.
#7 Holiday Parties
No need to wait until your next birthday, as you can host a get-together any time of the year. Holidays provide theme inspiration, but feel free to throw a “Christmas in July” party or another off-season holiday-inspired event.Adults-only Halloween parties are a fun way to let loose without the kids. Also consider a Valentine’s Day party for singles or couples, Cinco de Mayo, or lesser-known holidays to celebrate your niche interests.
#8 Tropical, Luau, or Beach Party
Head to your local party store and stock up on colorful leis, cocktail/mocktail umbrellas, pool games if you have a pool, and other beach-inspired décor. Tropical parties are easy to dress for as most guests already have something in their closet that they can wear. If you don’t have a pool, consider renting a dunk tank or an oversized inflatable waterslide.#9 Group Experience
In addition to exploring self-hosted theme party ideas for adults, consider a group excursion or activity with or without a designated theme. This can include museums and tourist attractions that we sometimes forget to enjoy as DFW locals, but consider out-of-the-box ideas too.Use these ideas for inspiration:

- Escape room
