25 Epic Celebrations

From a Live Televised Birthday Party to 10-City Soirees

— March 16, 2009 — Social Good
In honor of my 25th birthday, I've amassed a selection of my favorite over-the-top ways to party. These epic celebrations prove that when it comes to throwing a good party, bigger is always better.

There are animated birthday cakes, nerd raves, 10-city parties, public graffiti parties, and opulent international soirees. After clicking through this cluster, I'm already starting to scheme for next year...

Implications - As shoppers are looking to bring the entertainment factor up, brands are looking to accommodate with extravagant products to satisfy the crowd. The dominance of the entertainment industry's extravagance has now more than ever inspired consumers to go above and beyond for their birthdays or any other special occasion.
