Incredible Party Ideas to Introduce Into Your Life In 2021

2020 has been an absolutely crazy ride. However, there are so many good things on the horizon, things that are worth celebrating. With the announcement of the new vaccine, it not only means that our daily lives are back on track, but that we’re also able to party again!

You must bear in mind, however, that we’re not out of the clear just yet. Until you get vaccinated, you have to carry on taking precautions and party responsibly. We know that this is easier said than done, but it’s so important to practice social distancing in order to minimize the spread of Covid-19. What we’re trying to say here is, STAY IN THE GODDAMN HOUSE.

With that being said, until the time comes that we’re able to go wild – you can use the below party ideas to celebrate with your loved ones through zoom, or the people you live with that you’re probably so fed up with by now (sorry mom).

From birthday party ideas to kick off another trip around the sun, to some party games, dance games, and even some party DIY decor ideas – we’ve got some great tips to make your 2021 parties a night to remember.

Ready to read yet another suspiciously sarcastic, yet informative article from the amazing writer at Drinkup? (aka me). Well, here we go again!

#1 Play a Party Game

At DrinkUp, we’re all about party games. So inevitably, our very first party idea is to play… a party game. It’s time to get the celebration started with a good, old-fashioned board game. And no, we don’t mean scrabble, what are you 50? (again, sorry mom).

Seriously though, we’re referring to the one and only Pictionary! It’s a brilliant game to play with people in your household, and with the new Pictionary Air, you can even play it on your TV – making it the perfect party game to enjoy through casting on Zoom.

Spend your money on Amazon here:

#2 Try Your Hand at Mixology

Did somebody say coooockkkktaaaaiillssss? (I hope you read that in a high pitched voice).

Why not impress yourself and everyone in your household by making batches of cocktails of your favorite drinks. Get creative, and get supplies ahead of time! If you’re serious about your new-found alcoholism, you can pick up a bar making kit and learn to do it like a pro. Because let’s face it, you have nothing better to do anyway.

If you’re using Zoom, you can even find fun cocktail recipes on the wonderful world of Youtube that everyone can follow at home as you video call!

#3 Birthday Party Idea – Recap Your Year

A lot can happen in 365 days, and a great birthday party idea is to use this special day to reflect on it all. Figure out the moment that impacted you the most, the one that filled you with joy and laughter. Maybe it’s the laugh out loud moment you had on the couch, or the laugh out loud moment you had in the kitchen, maybe it’s the one in the bedroom?

Ok, so we know you didn’t get out much this year, but there has to be something! Whatever good moment you’ve experienced, share it with everyone so they can all join in on your feel-good story!

#4 Dance Games

Celebrations mean nothing unless you involve terrible dancing. Dance games are a great way to let loose, and really get the blood flowing, and get everyone laughing. Especially when you’re stuck indoors.

There are a wide range of dance games out there, you can go old school and invest in a dance mat, or, you can pick up the incredibly fun Pressman Charades Dance Game.

Whatever you go for, make sure you shake that booty and have fun!

#5 Build a Disco Wall

What better way to enjoy a dance game than to have a disco background? A fringe backdrop can easily transform your space into a nightclub or bar, and will help create a seriously cool atmosphere.

This party idea allows you to get involved in some party DIY which will fill the void of wanting something to do, and brings out the creativity within.

Check out this youtube tutorial on how to create a fringe background. If you follow the steps correctly, you’ll have an amazing fringe backdrop (no matter how terrible at party DIY you may be).

Can’t be bothered making one? Nah, neither can we. Just purchase one of Amazon and get ready to show off your horrible moves through fun dance games!

#6 Have a Party Game Handy

If there’s a birthday coming up, then this birthday party idea party game is one that will keep you and the family occupied all night long. Presenting – Beat That.

We know, there are so many party games to choose from, however, we truly believe that this is one of the best. It’s based on a series of challenges that you have to ‘’limber up, and prepare to bounce, flip, stack, hop, roll, blow, balance and catapult your way to victory’’. I was going to write a description, but I feel like the description they released was awesome as it was.

Are you ready to battle it up in 160 crazy challenges? You know what to do.

#7 Party DIY a Crown or Tiara

Another birthday party idea, but for kids this time! We know that little ones will love the concept of party DIY too, so instead of buying cheap crowns for your little princes and princesses, why not help them to make their own with this cool DIY party idea? I mean, it’s the least you can do considering you’ve locked them in the house all year.

I’m just kidding! We know it’s not your fault, but seriously, spend more money on your children by buying unnecessary objects by clicking below.

#8 Serve Boozy Desserts

Whether you’re looking for a birthday party idea, regular party idea, or just bored out of your mind, this one is a great excuse to get drunk without anybody realizing you’re drinking.

Not just that, but it’s also a great way to keep busy, and even learn a new skill! You can pick up a recipe book from Amazon for super cheap, and be well on your way to becoming a master alcoholic… I mean chef.

#9 Did Somebody Say Bouncy Castle?

Ah, bouncy castles, an amazing party idea, and an even better way to blow all of your money. But what else can you spend it on right now? Am I right? Well probably not, but I’m going to recommend it anyway.

Remember having to wait for other people to finish on the bouncy castle to have your turn? Remember getting bounced on by somebody bigger than you? Well, forget about it – now YOU’RE the King (or Queen) of the bouncy castle, and nobody puts baby in a corner.

You’re probably able to hire one by searching ‘’bouncy castles near me’’ on Google. However, just in case you wanted to make a really bad investment, I’ve left the tempting link for you below.

#10 Build the Ultimate Fort All Together!

This is my personal favorite party idea, but that’s probably just because I’m a big kid!

Seriously though, no matter how old you are, blanket forts are probably the best thing you can do with a bunch of pillows, lights, sheets, and imagination. And, now that you’re an adult, it’s definitely time to step up your game!

So, get creative, get your favorite people, and turn your home into the ultimate den just for a couple of days. You can make it super cozy, put a TV or projector in there, and even make room for a snack bar – that means that you’ll never ever have to leave.

If you’re not the most creative, you can always buy a base of Amazon and just throw some covers over it (although this is more for children). They haven’t made one for adults yet, trust me, I checked.
