This is a great idea for a smaller group or a group of couples. If you want to learn more about cooking gourmet meals, this is a great option!
Private cooking parties are available for guests who want one-on-one assistance from a professional chef. This is a great way to have dinner together as well and can be rewarding for everyone who made the meals themselves. You and your guests can take these skills home with them, which makes for a priceless experience.
Winery Tour
This is great for a group of wine lovers who want to learn more about wine and the process of how it’s made. Vineyards make for gorgeous scenery for a party, and it can be fun for your guests to learn more while drinking and tasting wines along the way.

If food and wine are not your interest, an art class can be a great way to have fun with your guests while learning and getting creative together!
From pottery to glass blowing, there are many art studios that offer art classes at a group rate. This is an activity that can drive your guests to do something they may have never done before, with all the assistance and materials in one place.
Painting classes have also gained popularity in the last few years, and are a favorite for those who need some wine to spark those creative juices. These classes are great because everyone paints the same subject yet comes out with their own individual styles.
Host a Fundraiser Party
This is a great way to give back on your birthday. You can recommend that instead of bringing gifts, guests bring donations towards a cause that’s dear to you. You can also team with a bar or restaurant that may agree to give a certain amount of that night’s proceeds to the charity.
Boutique Parties

This is great for busy moms or working ladies who rarely get the time to shop or hate shopping in busy chain stores.
