Birthdays are an incredible opportunity to celebrate those closest to us. Creativity, intention, and flawless execution make for the best birthday party experiences, but first comes planning. Picking a budget, theme, a New York City venue, and the smaller details all matter. While the details can be a tad overwhelming at times, EMRG Media has your back with these must-have party ideas.
1. Garden Disco Birthday Party
Starting off strong with overall party themes, a disco garden party is a fantastically trendy theme for a birthday. A blend of shiny sparkles and robust bouquets elevates not only the space but also your guests’ entire experience. This trend is in good timing with this year’s MET Gala theme, “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story.
2. Transformative Elements of Entertainment or Decor
Transformation throughout the party is a great way to keep guests entertained, engaged, and on their toes. Pop-up dancers, costumed characters, and even typewriter poets can all be integrated into varying themes and ambiances. If you’re looking for a more tech-friendly birthday bash, consider having some VR elements for a more gaming-focused experience. Get creative with your event entertainment, curating all kinds of immersive experiences for your birthday party guests.
3. Go Decadent Or Go Home
2024 is all about New York birthday parties that are truly decadent. While they don’t necessarily need to be the main focal point of the event, we’re seeing many small elements that seep extravagance into the event itself. Catering, decor, music, and dress code tie considerations are important in this respect. This year, you don’t even need the excuse of a milestone birthday to go all out.
4. Vividly Maximalist Birthday Party Designs
To go along with the sheer decadence sweeping the party scene, you’re going to see a lot more maximalist and vivid decor and themes. LED walls, neon signs, over-the-top table settings, and even maximalist entertainment are making their way into more and more birthday parties.
5. Birthday Party Favors People Will Enjoy
Party favors are a little bit of a cliche, depending on how they’re done. For a more adventurous crowd and birthday guest, a live tattoo artist or live tooth gems and piercings are among the trendiest. A live painter or poet could lend to a more curated feel for the tamer or mixed crowd. High-fashion sketches of guests and their friends or a personalized poem to take home as a keepsake can be an intimate way to remember a great time.
