DIY Party Ideas

Summer Birthday Party Ideas

Summer Birthday Party Ideas for Adults and Kids

Recently, I was on the Celebrate by Party City podcast. We chatted about both adult and kids summer birthday party ideas and I wanted to share it here today.

Summer Dinner Party for Adults

Host a tropical inspired sophisticated summer birthday dinner party in hues of greens and gold for a few close friends.

Sophisticated Summer Birthday Dinner Party

Watch the Video

You can watch the video I made for Party City here and shop the look. I got the Key West collection to help achieve this tropical look and feel.

Decorating Tips and Ideas:

I wanted to have an intimate dinner party. Think close girlfriends over for cocktails.

  1. These are adorable! Assemble the decorative leaves from the Key West Palm Leaf Cutouts package. Follow the instructions inside using the gold brads that are provided. These cutouts can be scattered as part of a centerpiece, used to decorate a nearby wall, or added to a hanging chandelier or light pendant with tape. The gold leaves are my favorite.
  2. Table clothes and place mats give a more sophisticated feel to a dinner party. A sandy tan color goes perfect with the Party City Key West collection. You can also use white or black.
  3. Layer the Palm Leaf Dinner Plates and Shaped Key West Palm Leaf Dessert Plates with your own plates, placing the square gold dinner plates on the bottom.
  4. Use the paper cut outs in chip bowls for an added flare.

Kids Summer Birthday Party Themes

On the podcast, we chatted about four different summer party theme as well. You can take the ideas below to fit an adult or kids themed party.
