I have a personal event question and wasn't sure where to post but I figure this community might be able to help! I am a professional event planner, fwiw.

I am planning a 40th birthday party for a family member at my house and I'm trying to think of unique activities for it. It will be all night long so there are several hours to fill but at a minimum there will be a DJ playing later in the night for a couple hours at which point it'll be more dancing/rave vibes (planning to get cheap up lighting and strobes). At it's peak there could be 60 people there and overall a very party-centric group with a wide range of ages in attendance (adults only from 20's-40's). Existing brainstorm includes dunk tank, face painting artist, wig snatching contest (recently saw on TikTok and love it), but honestly open to anything and everything and nothing is too weird. Bonus points if it's cost effective. Hit me with some ideas!!!

I have a weirdly specific question that I wasn't even sure where to post but I figure the EDM fam might be fitting.

I am planning a 40th birthday party for someone (fellow EDM lover) at my house and I'm trying to think of unique activities for it. It will be all night long so there are several hours to fill but at a minimum there will be a DJ playing later in the night for a couple hours at which point it'll be more dancing/rave vibes (planning to get cheap up lighting and strobes). At a peak there could be 60 people there and a decent % will be ~getting weird~ with extracurriculars so for that reason I'm sort of on the fence about stuff that might include outside vendors, or maybe would just need to avoid that later in the night.
