Adult Birthday Ideas: Bucket List Party

Are you hoping to climb Mount Everest, see your kids graduate from Med school, or learn to play an instrument before you "kick the bucket"?!

The Bucket List party, isn't really about "kicking the bucket", it's about living it up and doing the things on your "Life List". We all have things we dream about doing. Maybe it's traveling to see the Eifel Tower or planting a flower garden. Celebrate your dreams with your friends.

Fun things to have at your Bucket List Party

• Bucket List Activities: Adult Birthday Party Games
Bucket List nametags. Provide nametags for each party guest. Have each guest write one item from their bucket list on their nametag.

The nametags serve as a great icebreaker. Guests will discover what others dream of doing. You may be surprised how many people have similar items on their bucket list!

Another idea for sharing dreams is to create a large poster, bulletin board or chalkboard. Write the words, "Bucket List" on the top. Provide chalk, sticky notes, or whatever is necessary for guests to write one sentence on the board. It's a party decoration and a conversation starter.

For more active birthday party games, select games that perhaps people haven't played. How many have done the limbo, taken part in shooting a blow gun at a target, or played a ring toss game at a carnival? Help your guests mark these things off their bucket list. Creative games are a welcomed addition to your adult birthday ideas.

• Decorations:
Decorations and party favors are easy! Buckets are the theme. Place beer, wine and soda in buckets. Use buckets as balloon weights, or place plants and flowers in buckets. You can even paint buckets with chalkboard paint so people can write their bucket list items on the actual buckets.
• Party Favors
Party favor ideas? Personalized "To Do" notepads, fortune cookies, and "How To" books as prizes for games make fun party favor ideas.
• Party Food Ideas for the Bucket List Party Theme
Use buckets for your party food. Chips, popcorn, and candy can be placed in buckets. Even hotdogs can be individually wrapped in recyclable tin-foil and placed in a bucket. Let your imagination take over.

More ideas for bucket list party food? Serve the unusual. When I discussed this party theme with a friend, she suggested chocolate covered crickets and ants. "That's weird", I thought. But she explained that serving unusual food is a fun way to mark things off the bucket list...that is if chocolate covered crickets where on you list!
