Planning a Chicago birthday party for a child or young adult is always a fun event to host.  There are hundreds of birthday party ideas and themes available.  You could host the event anywhere and the child is most likely going to have a great time.  As we get older birthdays are not quite as exciting as they used to be and they’re sometimes even dreaded.  Turning the big 30, 40, or even 50 isn’t always looked at as being a great thing so throwing a birthday event may be a great idea to lighten things up.  Although some may not like this idea, most adults who reach their milestone birthdays are actually anticipating a big event. 

When choosing to plan a Chicago birthday party event you may come up short with ideas and themes.  Often times a lot of themes have been done before and you’d hate to have to imitate your friends.  You’d like to host a party with a more adult theme as well and avoid any child themes.  Finding these themes can be rather difficult and searching the internet you can often times come up short.  This is why we’ve compiled a list of ideas that we’ve seen over the years while performing at adult Chicago birthday parties.  Listed below are a few great ideas you may want to consider when planning your Chicago birthday party……..

1)  The Teen Years.  This theme is great for those who are celebrating an adult birthday.  If they are celebrating their 50th birthday they were born in the 1950s so you might consider throwing a 1950s themed party.  The invitation could read the guest of honor’s name and then it could say “is going back to the 50s”.  Then you could encourage your guests to dress the part with bright red lipstick, cheap white canvas shoes, and even some funky shades.  There are several 1950’s games you could play or you could opt into a trivia game coming up with questions that relate to the 1950s.

2)  Genuine Antique Person.  This theme can be looked at as more of a jest for someone in their older ages.  We’ve seen it a few times for a few Chicago 50th birthday parties.  The concept behind this theme is to create an old country western style theme.  The ideas for decorations are only limited by your imagination.  You may choose to use old rusty wheelbarrows to scatter throughout the room and use them as ice coolers.  You could buy small rusted metal pails and fill them with flowers to use as centerpieces.  You’ll most likely opt for a lot of candles and antique signs.  At this event you could have everyone dress in old antique western cloths or on their invitation invite each person to come as a different villager from an old town (ex: farmer, sheriff, bandit, etc).

3)  Choose their Favorite.  This theme is a little vaguer than the other themes.  You’ll want to find the person of honor’s favorite thing to do or something they love and make that into a theme.  An example would if a person loves to fish. You could then take that activity and create an entire theme around fishing.   You could also use the idea of golfing.  You could encourage everyone to come in their golf apparel and to bring their putters.  You’ll want to pick something that the guest of honor will enjoy and go with it.  The possibilities are endless. 

4)  Imitation Parties.  This theme is when all of your guests are invited to the birthday party and encouraged to imitate the birthday boy or girl.  This can be great fun for your guests as they arrive at the birthday party and it’ll create lots of laughter.  At this party you could create a banner and invite your guests to sign the banner and tell a funny story.  Then later in the evening you could roast the person with the banner.  It’ll create lots of laughter and good times!

5) In Memory of.  This theme isn’t for the faint of heart.  As a joke you could theme your birthday party as a memorial party.  Invite the guests to arrive in all black and invite them to write funny eulogies about the guest of honor.  It may seem to be a weird them, but we’ve seen it done a couple times and if done properly it can be hilarious.

6)  This is your Life.  Instead of choosing to do an “over the hill” birthday party you may want to try hosting a “This is your Life Party”.  At this type of event you can send a questionnaire out with your invitation and ask your guests to complete it with their RSVP.  You can then take these answers from the questionnaire and choose how to present them.  Some have chosen to do a slideshow while others have made up a game show asking questions to the guests and creating a game out of it.  You may even choose to roast the guest of honor.  Some sample questions could be…

1. My favorite thing about …… (use guest of honors name) is ______________.
2. The funniest thing I ever saw …… do was when he _________________.
3. The happiest I ever saw …… was when he____________________.
4. The dumbest thing I ever saw …… do was____________________.
5. ….. drives me crazy when he _______________.
6. My most memorable moment with ….. was ____________________.
7. List five words that describe ……

7) Ice Cream Party.  This theme is for all the sweet tooths.   On the invitation you’ll want to invite all the guests to bring their favorite ice cream toppers and their favorite ideas on how to build the perfect sundaes and banana splits.  When everyone arrives you can surprise your guest of honor with the biggest and craziest bowl of ice cream.  Another idea would be to purchase a large gutter section from a home improvement store and serve the ice cream varieties in a trough style.

Black and White.  With this theme you’ll encourage all the guests to dress in black and then have your guest of honor dressed in white (or vice versa).  It makes for a fun formal night and the guest of honor is almost always recognized by their different apparel.  You can also grab some great pictures!

These are just a few fun ideas you may want to consider when planning your Chicago Birthday party event.  Not all of these themes may work for your guest of honor.  You’ll want to determine their personality and personal interests and go from there.

Have you ever been to a golf tournament? If not, you should take the time to go! They are extremely fun and very different than your average sporting event. Golf tournaments seem very boring to the average person that is used to watching basketball or football. Football and basketball are definitely faster pace than golf. But little do people know, there is so much skill that goes into golf. Just ask golf extraordinaire, Tiger Woods. Tiger has made golf the trendiest sport in America. Everyone wants to get in on the act. Everyone wants to know what it’s all about. Well that’s why you should take time to find out about golf and experience whatever else is saying about it.

Golf tournaments can be fun to participate in if you are a semi-experienced golfer. One great feature of the tournament is all the golf prizes and golf gifts you can get for participating. The best golf gift of them all is the hole-in-one insurance. Hole-in-one insurance is great because if you hit a hole-in-one, you can win a fabulous prize. Golf prizes can range from a variety of things such as golf tournament merchandise like t-shirts, hats, gloves, tees and anything else that would help a golfer look his/her best on the range. They even have tournament tea bags! Yes, tournament tea bags so while you sip you tea, you can remember the tournament you’re participating in! golf tournament merchandise is the best golf prize to get because it will show your participation in the event and will create lasting memories of your experience golfing.

Have you ever golfed before? No? Then seek to take lessons at your nearest driving range. Golf is a great sport to take up because you can use all kinds of muscles in your body. Notice how many golfers are extremely fit and trim? That’s because they have to use so many muscles in their body to create the perfect swing and to make sure their game is great. Many golf pros workout daily and focus on their arm and back muscles, all muscles used in making sure they have a great swing.

Golfing is a wonderful past-time and if you have not watched a golf tournament on TV, please do yourself a favor and watch. There’s probably a range very close to your home! Who knows, you may just be the next Tiger!

The first thing you want to ask yourself is: “Am I doing a <a href=http://www.golfmarathonman.com/golf_fundraisers.html>golf fundraiser</a> because everyone does them in this town?” if you answered yes- then you may want to look into other options. If you are doing a golf fundraiser because you love golf, have connections to the golfing industry and you think it’s something that your community would get excited about, then throwing a golf fundraiser is a great idea.

Before You Book The Course and Start Advertising Plan Early and Plan Well
The last thing you want is to advertise the heck out of your event only for it to be a let down in the end. Here are a couple things to consider:

•    Get knowledgeable, local golfers involved on your committee to put this event on.  They don’t need to be golf fundraising pros, but they will no doubt have been to enough of these tournaments to know what to build on.
•    Don’t go low-brow. Go big and get a highly rated course in your area.  This will give you instant credibility with the golf community, sponsors, and guest pros that attend.
•    Plan about 10 people serving on the tournament committee.  This will also lead to sub-committees- which you will want leaders for as well- preferably volunteers.

Sub Committees
•    Public Relations Committee- responsible for contacting the media, contacting corporate businesses and getting the word out about signing up businesses to play as a four-some. This will include getting corporate sponsorships, donations and handling a lot of email as well as writing newsletters and other press materials.

•    Prize Sub Committee- This committee will be in charge of promotional SWAG bags as well as complimentary gifts given to each player. Prize committee may be in charge of handling plaques, trophies and other prize necessities.

•    Golf Course Head Marshal- hires and organizes staff to keep order on the course.

•    Hospitality Committee- Makes sure enough meals, snacks and drinks are on hand for the event.

•    Volunteer Committee- Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you will want a volunteer committee to organize all your precious volunteers. Create incentives to raise the most money with raffles by creating a contest, make sure your volunteers are fed and taken care of and of course an appreciation party or free rounds of golf are always appreciated.

With enough staff, volunteers and corporate sponsorships you are well on your way to a successful golf tournament. If you give your golf fundraiser staff enough time, respect and freedom to be successful, you can’t lose!
