How to make someone's 25th birthday special?
If you’re planning a 25th birthday party for a friend, just think about what they would really love and appreciate.
Are they the life of the party? Maybe they’d like a big birthday bash!
Do they prefer hanging out with a few close friends and family members? Maybe a small dinner party is the way to go.
Do they like making once-in-a-lifetime memories? A concert or camping trip might be the way to go!
The best way to make someone feel special is to have their friends and family around them to celebrate in a way they truly enjoy.
Things to do for 25th Birthday:
1. Dinner party
A dinner party is always a classic, fun way to celebrate a birthday!
Whether it’s a potluck or a fancy plated at-home dinner, some good food, candlelight, and relaxing music is a great way to unwind and celebrate.
2. Beach picnic

A beach picnic is the perfect way to celebrate a summer birthday. You can never go wrong with some fruit, sandwiches, mimosas, and snacks!
Bring your swimsuit or a good book for a fun and relaxing time under the sun.
3. Picnic
If you don’t live near a beach, you can still have a gorgeous picnic! Just find a park or scenic area nearby for your picnic.
You can even go for a hike somewhere and then have your picnic lunch at the end. That would be such a fun way to celebrate an adventurous person’s birthday!
4. BBQ
Everyone loves a good BBQ! Whether it’s burgers in a park or chicken and steak on the grill in your backyard, this is such a fun 25th birthday idea that everyone will enjoy.
5. Girls' night sleepover party
You’re never too old for a sleepover. Grab your favorite snacks, your coziest PJ’s, and put on some good movies for a fun night with your girlfriends.
6. Cooking class
A cooking class would be such a fun birthday activity to do as a couple or with a couple close girlfriends!
7. Pole dancing class
A pole dancing class is another fun idea to do with a few girlfriends! This is sure to bring a bunch of laughs and make you feel like your most confident selves.
8. Weekend getaway
You can never go wrong with a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick road trip to another city or even a spa trip, there’s always more to explore that you haven’t seen yet.
Plus, if you do this with a group of friends, you can find a nice airbnb or hotel to make it a fun and restful experience!
9. Camping trip
If you love being adventurous, try a camping trip with your friends!
Book a nice site on a lake or in the mountains, grab your camping gear and some good food, and spend a weekend relaxing in nature and getting refreshed.
10. Concert
A concert always makes for good memories!! If there’s an artist you really want to see, make a night of it. Get your friends together, go for dinner before the show starts, grab some drinks, and make some lifelong memories.

A disco theme is always an easy and fun option. All you need is some silver decor and 80’s music to get the party started!

This would be such great decor for a house party or dinner party!

Get all your friends to bring a different bottle of wine and have an at-home wine tasting with some charcuterie.

I love this idea of decorating the drink glasses, and even putting something fun like cotton candy on the top! This is a great way to make your party feel a little extra fancy.
18. Floral ice bucket
This floral ice bucket is a great way to add elegance to any party. You can get this floral mold and freeze some ice cubes with flowers/flower petals inside.

This “entry fee” corner is genius! It’s so creative and a great way to get the party started.
20. Personalized number drink tags
You can personalize these drink tags with your age and then put them on each drink glass. This is such a fun way to make your party feel more customized and cohesive.

These custom wine bottle labels are such an easy way to add a personal touch!
You just have to order them and then remove the original labels to replace them with these. It’s actually so easy!!
22. Cake topper
You can never go wrong getting a custom cake topper, or a cake topper that goes along with your theme!
23. Polaroid station
A polaroid station is a great way to remember who was at your party and keep those memories for a long time to come.
You can turn them into a scrapbook, or hang them on your wall!
24. Offer disposable cameras
Disposable cameras are another great way to capture memories that will last a lifetime.
Plus, these disposable cameras would be the perfect addition to the Y2K theme if you’re doing that!
25. Get custom glass straws
These custom glass straws would be a great way to give every guest a keepsake or party favor, by getting a straw with their name on it!
Or, you could customize the straws with your name and the year so that everyone has a memory of your 25th birthday party.
26. Tropical drinks
If you love pina coladas or other tropical drinks, you can always dress them up a little more with these cute tropical drink umbrellas.
Drink umbrellas always make a drink taste better, in my opinion!!
