As a working adult, so much is expected of you every time. There are duties that needed to be attended to at work and at home, and even attending to your very own existence can become a chore. The dilemma of trying to balance it all has always been stressful, but if there’s one thing that can get an adult to forget about the stress, then it definitely is through partying! What better way to release tension in the body than to celebrate? With that said, here are nine types of parties that any adult can enjoy.
Club-Hopping
The typical adult party! This usually involves the younger folks in their twenties and thirties as they have more energy. It is almost customary to visit at least two clubs with a bunch of friends and coworkers to get to know one another better—or at least get to know how well you all can handle your liquor.
There are many places known for their amazing nightlife like Las Vegas, and going to the clubs when there’s some cash to spare is one way to enjoy the adult party life. Miami’s nightlife is all about those after-dark raves where the lights are sparse, the booze is flowing, and the music is loud. Party on until dawn, and enjoy the night away.
Beach Party
A little fun in the sun can give stressed-out adults the perfect amount of that much-needed rest and relaxation. A beach party is one of the best ways to celebrate since it is scientifically proven that going to the beach is good for the physical and mental health of a person. No wonder the people of Hawaii are ranked as the sixth happiest people in the world!
Since beach parties are great for any kind of get-together no matter the size, they are often filled with different activities. Games like tug-of-war, volleyball, and frisbee are but a few things to do. Taking a dip in the sea or surfing is great for getting that sweet tan. Some resorts even offer a trip to different islands when possible, so gear up for those too! Beach parties are great all-in-one trips for everyone.
Video Game Get-Together
This kind of party leans more toward the geekier adults who would love to get together for some nice game time with friends. Since there is a wide variety of great couch party games on consoles now, video games can be played in any home party in this day and age. These kinds of parties don’t even have to exist in the same location since in online parties, you get to enjoy the thrill of playing together with friends even when miles apart.
Colorful Cocktail Party
Cocktail parties or mixers are a great way to get to know people since these can either be organized as a social-gathering event by a business or set up by acquaintances. This kind of party is more intimate and usually at places where everyone is gathered in a room together. Music can be involved to set the mood, with the DJ as the mood setter. Sitting in the middle of the room, the perfect DJ table attracts the party goers and gives everyone a perfect excuse to get on the dance floor!
Giant Board Games
A novelty way of getting your friends to feel nostalgia is to have them play their favorite board games but in larger formats! Giant Jenga, giant chess—you name it! Board games are a thrill to play on their own, so having them resized to huge proportions makes them even better. Add a little more thrill by placing bets or prizes for the winner so that the competitive drive of everyone in the party goes full force.
Offbeat Holiday Celebration
Keeping a group of friends in your adult life can be a challenge, but when you have a tight squad, then there’s a good chance that offbeat celebrations are already a thing in the group. Set up parties for each month as there are lists of offbeat holidays that can be celebrated easily found online.
Is your group of friends into animals? Then celebrate Dress-Up-Your-Pet Day in January! Are your colleagues more into food than anything? National Burrito Day can be celebrated in April. With so many offbeat holidays to choose from, there will always be parties to celebrate in a year.
Throwback Parties
Throwback parties are a great way to celebrate the wonderfully colorful and bizarre days of the past. Celebrate the fashion of the ’80s or the music of the ’90s, and everyone will feel nostalgia, especially the adults born in that era. Themed parties like this will never go out of style.
Karaoke Time
Karaoke has been regarded as one of the best and most fun stress-busting activities in Asia. No matter what country you are in, there will always be karaoke bars, and they will usually be bustling with people during the weekends. If a karaoke bar isn’t available, then rentable karaoke is a thing, and parties can get even livelier with this around. Belt out to the songs chosen to your heart’s content, and you will soon realize why karaoke is a party activity you can’t miss out on.
Campfire Huddle
If a party that is more intimate is more your thing, then going out and having a campfire under the starry night sky may be the best kind of party for you. A close-knit group of friends can get the same campfire feeling even in the city with sleepovers and building forts, but going out helps make everyone feel more at ease. With campfire songs, toasty marshmallows, and great conversations abounding, a campfire party is a great choice to just slow down and relax.
