40 Oz of Funk: A 40th Birthday Party

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for great adult party ideas, so I’m really excited to share Zach’s birthday party with you! Zach’s wife is Amy Graham Stigler, creative director and designer of Smock, and she recently planned an incredible surprise party to celebrate Zach’s 40th birthday. Zach loves old school rap so a recurring theme throughout the party was 40 oz of Funk complete with 40 oz beers. A mix cd of his favorite old school rap songs were set out as favors and cocktail napkins were printed with a favorite LL Cool J quote. Amy mixed up tasty punches and arranged the fixings for a “guys” bar with an assortment of whiskey, scotch and beer. To complete the festivities, Zach’s brother even flew in from Seattle to surprise him and gave the honorary toast. This is my kind of party! Good food, good drink, good company and good memories.
