What entertainment ideas at a party did you love? (Adult Party 30thbday)
Any suggestions would be lovely. I am planning on having poker, music, food, drinks, and maybe a silent movie playing on a projector outside.
Re: What entertainment ideas at a party did you love? (Adult Party 30thbday)
Hmmm - I have too many to list but I often do several a month and each has a different theme. For more ideas you can check out our event calendar. Here are some I've been doing for the past couple of years with links of the events.
CHEF SPOTLIGHT DINNERS
My Chef Spotlight Dinners highlight a specific chef or a group of chefs for the contributions they have made to the culinary community. Each month friends prepare a dish of the chosen chef(s) to share for a potluck dinner I host. Together we enjoy & talk about our dishes, the chef(s) & their contributions and have a wonderful evening with friends & food.
IN THE KITCHEN
Being an organizer of a cooking group, my friends and I definitely spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen. In the past, we started out working in a commercial kitchen but we got too big! So these days I'll host various cooking classes & interactive cooking events in my home. Here you'll find the different events I've hosted focused on specific foods and/or food themes.
FOODIE FILMS
As an avid movie fan, I especially like movies that that has a definite culinary viewpoint as part of the story line. To combine both food and film, I created these events where attendees prepare a potluck dish inspired by the chosen culinary inspired movie and we watch the movie together.
WINE & DINES
After a trip to the wine country of Sonoma & Napa, CA, I was inspired to learn more about wine. I love researching about food and sharing what I've learned with others. Every month I host an event, 'Wine & Dine', and friends come over to learn about specific wine varietals and enjoy tasting many of them over paired foods of a certain theme/cuisine. These links capture the wines we've tasted along with the types of foods we served them with.
TASTING SESSIONS
Tasting Sessions takes the principle behind a wine tasting nine steps further and features step-by-step instructions for hosting different types of tastings including: wine, chocolate, tea, honey, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, cheese, apples, beer and cured meats. It's a unique concept of ?deep tasting,? opening up the palate by slowly savoring a food or drink in a structured fashion.
FOOD SWAPS
Most people are familiar with Holiday Cookie Swaps, but I've taken it a step further to incorporate the idea & concept throughout the year. Every month, friends prepare the chosen food that can be easily shared and/or portioned. When we get together, everyone takes home their portion of all our offerings to enjoy for themselves.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Aslo try Apples to Apples. I great for a group of people to play. It's really easy to learn. Takes 5 minutes. It's loads of fun.
