- People who enjoy traveling love this theme for a birthday party. Especially for the budget-conscious, an Amazing Race adventure is a great way to travel locally. Get to know the cultural spots of your local town and make up a route highlighting the influences of different countries. For example, make one of the stops a French restaurant or a statue created by a foreign designer. Add to the fun by giving away little prizes and medals at the end of the race.
- If your loved one isn't particularly shy and enjoys the attention, consider a "This Is Your Life" theme. Much focus will be given to the birthday girl as you parade in several guests from the past to surprise her. Try to locate significant people from all parts of her life: elementary school, high school, college, first job and friends from church or other organizations. Create a slide show of pictures of each time period you can play while the guests come out and tell their stories.
- Use the number of his birthday as a focus throughout the evening and have him try to guess the theme. Choose an unusual restaurant whose address includes the number in its address or name. Have guests bring presents in the amount of the number. For example, for a 24th birthday, people can bring 24 suckers or flowers. They could even bring joke gifts like a 24-pack of toilet paper. The fun is in your birthday guy trying to guess what is going on.
- A great theme for an older birthday is setting up the party as a blast from the past. Host this kind of party in someone's home and price items around the house with big tags reflecting how much it cost the year your birthday girl was born. Play music and serve food from the year of her birthday as well.
