Miami Vice Retro Soirée

Ever felt like portraying Don Johnson or Philip Michael Thomas, the famous Miami detectives from the iconic ‘80s TV series? Now that’s one of the most amazing birthday party ideas ever! 

Even if you're too young to remember the show, there's still that '80s Miami vibe to look forward to. Craft cocktails, new synth wave music for the groove, and neon lights to set the ambiance. That's the beginning of something truly special.

All that remains is to add palm tree decorations and a South Beach-inspired photo booth. Encourage your guests and friends to wear pastel suits, oversized sunglasses, and fedora hats, and you'll have one of the most memorable birthdays Miami has ever seen. 

Tropical Paradise Beach Party

You can't even begin to describe Miami without mentioning fresh air, ocean waves, gorgeous beaches, and amazing parties. Therefore, embrace the sun, sand, and sea with an epic beach party!

Lean into the theme with tropical drinks (mini umbrellas are mandatory) and beach-themed snacks (a fruit platter arranged to look like a beach ball, blue jello with Swedish fish “swimming” in it, and pretzels served in a plastic pail).

Lounge chairs, tables, umbrellas, and beach towels will complete the vibe. 

Pro tip: Be prepared to light a bonfire in case the party is still going strong even after the sun goes down.

Glow in the Dark Night Fever

Light up the night with a super-fun glow-in-the-dark party! Deck out your vacation rental or another venue with black lights, LED decor, and glowing centerpieces. Throw in a heaping dose of glow sticks and necklaces, body paint, and neon accessories, and get ready to be dazzled.

The best thing about this birthday party theme is that you can also rent a boat and set everything up there so that your birthday turns into an unforgettable cruise. If that sounds good to you, consider checking out a few of our top picks for party boat adventures.

Havana Nights Cuban Fiesta

Transport your guests to Cuba with a vibrant Havana Nights fiesta. Colorful lanterns, vintage posters, Cuban cigars and tropical flowers will create a festive atmosphere.

Add Cuban-inspired cuisine and specialty cocktails like mojitos or daiquiris, and you'll be living your best island life, all without having to leave your backyard.

Poolside Paradise Luau

A luau is always a great idea for a theme party because it's so easy, and it offers a ton of Miami birthday party activities for you to enjoy. Tiki torches, leis, Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts—it's a total winner!

Tiki drinks will bump up the festive feels, and tropical-themed pool floats, pool games, hula dancing, and a limbo contest will bring it all home.

Aloha! Bake in the afternoon sun, swim in the pools, and take some amazing photos so that you can make your luau birthday even better than it already is.

Art Deco Extravaganza Gatsby Glam

The vibrancy of Miami always makes us think of the roaring ‘20s, so why not go all out with a Gatsby-style soirée?

Flapper dresses and dapper suits will make guests feel super glam, and feathers, glittering chandeliers and jazz music will transport you to a whole different era.

Thank goodness prohibition is over, so you won't have to worry about smuggling any booze into your birthday party.

Viva Las Vegas Casino Royale

Enjoy the energy of Vegas even when you're in Miami with a casino night! Set up casino tables and spend the night in style playing poker, blackjack, roulette, or any other of your favorite games. 

We also suggest serving martinis (shaken, not stirred) as the drink of choice. That will turn your birthday into an event that will be the talk of the town.

Miami Heat Sports Spectacular

For the sporty birthday person, go all in on an athletic theme. Just use their favorite Miami team as the inspiration for decorations (colored balloons, team posters, a logo cake), and have guests show up repping with team gear. You can even host an outdoor tailgating party to truly embrace the spirit of a sports-themed party.

If you're wondering why tailgating is the way to go for any Miami celebration, consider the fact that it's part of a tradition that every sports fan should experience at least once.

Serve stadium food and beer and host sports-related games and competitions to bring a little gameplay to the party. And if there's a sports event on the TV at the same time, you'll have a perfect game-day birthday party ready to go.

Tropical Glow Caribbean Carnival 

Bring a little Caribbean culture to you with a Carnival-themed party. Dress in colorful costumes and wear traditional Carnival masks to set the stage.

For music, it has to be steel drums or samba music, and samba dancing will be an absolute MUST. This type of party is guaranteed to leave your guests in awe.

Miami Nights Rooftop Party

Take your celebration sky-high with a rooftop party and discover just how amazing Miami is from above! Book a private lounge or rooftop bar so you can take in the skyline as you celebrate, and decorate with twinkly lights for a pretty, luxurious vibe. Signature cocktails and a private DJ will round out the evening.
