Hobby Celebration Back to Events
Selecting a child's birthday party theme is easy: Pick something your child is interested in and run with it. The same holds true for an adult event. Though your interests have likely matured, take a cue from kids' parties and throw a hobby-inspired birthday celebration.
Everyone gains from a hobby-theme party. You'll show the birthday guy or gal that you care about their interests, and the guests get to experience the fun of a themed activity.
Plan the invitations, menu and activities around a specific interest with these hobby-theme party tips. Stuck for ideas? Check out these
hobby-inspired examples to get you started. Look for all your party supplies, from ice to paper plates, at your neighborhood Publix.
Menu Made Easy
Here's where we've figured out courses and servings for the party. Scroll down to see the
Publix selections we suggest, then add appropriate sizes and/or quantities to your
Planning List based on the estimated servings per course (see chart). If you're interested
in other options, you may click View All to see everything else available by course.
Or, you can use our Plan a Menu
