Ideas for Adult Party

I don't know of a place like that, I know there is rock climbing around here somewhere cause I had a friend whose husband did it. I think most men love food. For val's day I made my husband crab legs, shrimp, a big steak, a huge plate of food, he was on cloud nine told me this was the best(and I have had parties for him), this was special cause we don't eat like that we have casseroles, chicken, things like that. Could you order omaha steaks, get lobster, whatever his favorite is. You can then watch a movie, have friends over, poker party, send him out with his friends, bowling, lazer tag, paintball, buy him a new video game, etc. Hope this helps a little.

Could you just have a few friends and family over for hot dogs and birthday cake? We don't always have to go somewhere to have fun. Sometimes, just visiting is nice.

It's time for a Trailer Trash Party....Weather is Awesome lately, so pull out the blow up pool, ice cooler & lawn chairs, cook some Dawgs on the grill and have everyone come dressed in their mullets, Cut off shorts, wife beaters, bare feet & baby in a diaper only....I've had a few friends have this type of party and everyone really gets into them...One party was bring your own cooler & chairs...So it was funny to see everyone bring the cheap alum. folding chairs...

If it were my husband, he would want chili dogs and lots of dessert and just a fun time to visit with friends.

If you have Rock Band or Guitar Hero World Tour you can have a Battle of the Bands. Lot of fun have everyone dress in Rock clothes make set list and have fun. You need lots of chips and dips. Cream Cheese and Raspberry Chipotle sauce over top,cheese dip, Chili cheese dip(one can Wolf Brand chili 1 small velveeta block heat and eat) Cocktail sausages with barbeque sauce.Veg tray,grapes and of course cake.I made cupcakes and topped with guitar picks. Drinks of choose.

There is a place right out side of town that looks pretty cool. They have bumper cars, paintball,mini golf, batthing cages,etc.
I have never been there but looks pretty cool

It is called Green

I think that Dave & Busters is a lit of fun to. Rent out there party room and pool table.

Or even think about rent a park and field and set up a softball game and pinic foods. To reserve a pavaillion at Brackenridge is only like $45.00

Don't buy tickets anywhere if your husband may go out of town. Too much of a commitment for something you all may not go to.

Go bowling! There's nothing like smelly shoes and throwing large and heavy balls in quasi-darkness after a few drinks of the adult nature, that brings a family together and makes memories.

A gun range would make for an unforgettable birthday, though you won't be able to take the kids. It was all very, very safe and very stress releasing. We went to an indoor range where alot of cops went for practice. We took a short psych eval, signed tons of waivers and got to pick our own gun (I have small hands so they gave me a .9ml but I switched to a .22cal). After a short lesson on gun range etiquette and firing lessons with a trained instructor we got to fire away. Believe me, your husband will not soon forget target practice with his family as well as the hideous orange ear protectors they make you wear, on his birthday.

I went to a cheap and tacky food party once. I brought a plate of Oreo's topped with canned whipped cream swirls and everyone LOVED them. Took home an empty plate! A similar salty snack could be ritz crackers topped with canned spray cheese. Yum!

You can also just throw a costume party at home and have everyone either dress up from the 70's or 80's or worse, as a character on the Disney channel, even the adults. Good luck and hopeyou have fun whatever you do!

A friend of mine setup a party at a laser tag place for her husband one year when he was about that age. The wives went to play too and it was SO much fun! There was a pretty large group of us and I had never played before, but it was a blast. We played a couple of games and split up into different teams each time. We even played a guys vs. girls game once. Too funny. I'm not sure how much it cost and it was several years ago, but you may want to look into it. We just had pizza and snacks and stuff there, so the food wasn't gourmet, but we had a good time together. I think I have seen a laser tag place on Hwy. 6 in Sugar Land, but I haven't been there, so I don't know anything about it. I hope you find something fun to do!

Invite a few friends and have a cook-off with his favorite food. If it is pizza, it can be a pizza cook-off or chili or hot dogs or whatever. The idea is that everybody will enter their special take on the dish and the birthday boy can be the judge. The fun and friendly competition surrounding this is usually great fun.

We did a great surprise party for my husband a few years ago. Him and I went out to dinner and while we were gone, the neighbors decorated the house for a poker party. We had 4 poker tables set up and all of his buddies there. I called from the bathroom at the restausrant before we headed home to give everyone the heads up. He was completely shocked and thrilled. You could do the same type of thing with a cook-out or something. He could take you somewhere while friends set stuff up. When he got home he could have hot dogs off the grill and corn on the cob!

Dave & Busters is a fun place. It's like Chuck E Cheese, but for grown-ups. They have a lot of cool video games, pool, food. It's not super cheap, but it's not terribly expensive. We have on in the Houston area, I think in the Galleria. Here is their website for more info...

Also, in The Woodlands area there is Main Event. It has video games and pool tables, but they also have a huge bowling alley, and even some little poker tables. I think they cost a little less, and they have snack bar type food...nachos, pizza, hot dogs. We've had a couple of company outings there & it was a lot of fun. Here is their website...

In Conroe, there is a place called Incredible Pizza. It is geared more towards kids/family, but they have all the same as above, plus an indoor go-kart track. You know what?? They also have bumper cars & and indoor miniature golf. Plus a few bowling allies. It might not be adult-specific, but I think I'd recommend this over everything. There is so much to do there. And they might be the cheapest. And they have pizza and salad bar. Here is their website...

Good luck with your choice. I'm sure your husband will appreciate your thoughtfulness. What a good wife!!

Main Event is in Clear Lake, it's fun and more for adults although you may see some teens. Dave & Busters is similar and downtown. And of course there is the carnival at the rodeo, if you're going to do something this weekend!

Good luck!

Any of the places where you do the kids parties, like Monkey Buziness, Jump it up or any other, you can also rent for adults and it is a blast, a friend of mine had his husband's birthday party at one of them and went for a drink after jumping... everybody played like kids!!! My friend was very happy of having such a fun party and not having to cook or clean after!

Please, Let us know what you did!

One that come's to mind is a family cook out with the type of ourdoor games that were played when we were kids, wheel barrel races, sack races, pass the apple etc. None will cost much and will bring back memories and make new one for lots of people.(be sure and have the marsh mellow on sticks or some mores)

Okay, I don't know of places like that, but I really enjoy planning parties!

My husband is a golfer, so I can never go wrong when I get his friends together and send them out to the golf course. Then, maybe they come back to the house with their wives for mingling. We've booked Bath Junkie for couples parties--lots of fun.

Just thought I would throw this out there. Does your hubby enjoy Wine?? You could do a Wine Tasting in your home for 8 - 14 of your friends and family. I would be happy to tell you more if you are interested!

What about Dave and Busters?? That is a play place for all ages, but adults especially! it's tons of fun!

Try to find a Dave & Busters restruant or something on that order. Its a grown ups Gatty town! The food is good but can be a little pricey but you can have a great time! I'm 53 and thats where I brought my son last year for his 24th bday- with family. Everyone bought their own food, and I gave game cards to get the fun started.There are some games that you can sit with your little one and let them push the buttons, but it is not set up for the young ones.
You can wait until the day of to call for reservations to eat in case he has to go out of town...set it up as a surprise.

How about Dave and Busters or Itz? They both serve food have bowling and games. I think that Dave and Busters is awesome for adults with a better variety. Theres also that place off I-10 where the Marq E is. Hope that helps.

You could go to Main Event or Dave and Buster's. Both are geared for grown-ups.

I can't help, but I'm going to Green Acres! It is a bit of a drive, but looks liek SO much fun! Thanks for asking this question.
