Can someone help with with birthday party ideas?
My boyfriend is turning 21 in June and I'd love to throw him a surpise party.
I'd like it to be themed; I've got ideas but I'd appreciate more.
Some thoughts: he's a die-hard Packer fan (sports in general), likes South Park, cars and video games.
If anyone has some drink or food recipes, that would be cool too.
Thanks in advance :D
Answers:
Well, my suggestion would be to make the theme the packers with things in yellow and green accordingly. You could also try to get a cake in the shape of a football helmet, packers style. Other than that i wouldn't be completely sure, it depends on lot of things like how many people are coming and things like that.
I agree with the whole Packers theme because it will be easy to execute. If you went with other interests of his it might get complicated.
I would do the party sort of like you would do a Superbowl Party but birthday style. I would definatey get a cake of some sort in the shape of football, helmet, football field...something that says football/Packers.
If you are going with just snacks/fingerfoods the following might be ideas:
Chips and Salsa and Cheese Dip
For cheese dip here is an easy one:
Put an entire block of velveeta chees cubed in a crock pot and let melt stirring often. Then add a can of chili beans and some cooked and drained gound hamburger seasoned with taco seasoning.
Pretzels
Potato Chips and French Onion Dip
Peanuts - in the shell, and leave something convenient for people to throw shells in
Fruit Pizza and Veggie Pizza are always a hit no matter what the occassion.
If you are wanting more of a dinner then try burgers and hot dogs with the above side items and you have a meal.
Drinks like bottled water, cans of cola/pop, beer, wine whatever works for you.
Decorate in a theme of green and yellow maybe even where a Packers jersey, jeans and tennis shoes on the big day.
You don't have to go crazy with decorations either. Set up the food on one table and cover with green table cloth. Set up drinks on another table and cover with yellow table cloth. See if you can find some little football sequins and throw them on the tables. Maybe some green and yellow votive candles and there you go.
Good Luck
I like the Packer theme. Maybe have it at a park as a tailgate party, including hamburgers & hotdogs.
u could do like an outside patio party that's decorated with like beach stuff at night
This site has loads of theme ideas for parties. They also offer menu ideas.

An idea that I can offer is doing a Mardi Gra inspired casino and nightclub setting outdoors, complimented with a bar area, with an assortment of alcoholic beverages, cocktails, liquor, shots, ect.
Get the ingredients for pizzas and have the party goers make their own pizzas!
Use disposable pie pans; have all the ingredients lined up on the kitchen counter, the oven set to the right temp, and add a huge green salad for good stuff.
Enjoy!
i think you should have an after party with him ( just the 2 of you) and have a really romantic time, like have a chocolate fountain, and a plate of strawberries. as for the party, just throwing a suprise party for him will make him really happy!
Best of Luck!
