In December I am throwing a party for my daughter's 25th Birthday.
She is an Elvis Presley fan.
Need ideas for party games for adults about 20 total. There will be 3 younger ones under 10.
One game I have on my list is pinning names of his movies to peoples backs and they have to figure out what it is.
Any other fun ideas?

Pick up.Pick up.
Pick up: A game of flexibility.
Requirements:
20 odd adults with a little beer in them (not essential but it helps)
A selection of objects that can be stood on the floor of various heights
A4 Sheets of paper (letter size)
Lipstick (you’ll see)
Ok the idea of this game is to while only using your feet for support (no hands, no bum against the sofa, no knees on the ground, just simply standing on your own two feet) bend down and with your mouth pick up the current object
Important Note: Try not to choose anything too pointy or sharp for the objects, in later round people can and do fall over so keep safety in mind. Please
You start with the taller objects first (you can start with objects on a table if you wish) and every one who is playing gets a turn at this object. Those who fail are out.
Each round you replace the object with another that is lower and you go round again.
Eventually you end up with the sheet of paper flat on the ground. and here is the kicker. The idea with the paper is not to pick it up ( though that is a bonus) but to simply put your lips on it.
How do you tell if some one’s lips have touched the paper? Easy you apply lipstick to everyone’s lips ( including the boys )
There is not one winner but it’s fun to paly and fun to watch and worth it to watch the lads cringe at needing to wear lipstick.

Obviously you might want to have an elvis-a-like karaoke competition. Get hold of an elvis karaoke record; everybody has to come dressed as an elvis and rewrite the lyrics to one of his tunes so that it corresponds to their life situation, and perfom hilariously.
See the BBC sitcom "Father Ted" for a good example.
"My God! It's THREE elvises!"
British people may understand

sure you can bend your knees, but the only thing that can touch the ground is the bottom of your feet.

I'd verb her noun
Everyone takes turns. On your turn you pick a verb and a noun and say I'd then the verb you thought of then her and then the noun you thought of.
So, if you thought of 'evolve' and 'descendants' you'd say "I'd evolve her descendants!"
If the speaker is a straight female or gay male, substitute 'his' for 'her'.
Trust me; it'll be funny.

Re: I'd verb her noun
They could probably handle this one. Interesting.
Thanks

Not Familiar
Not one I'm familiar with.
Do I want to know?

My wife put a group of us through a game in which you eat a banana and then drink a 7-up as fast as you can. First one done wins.
Since most people have no problem burping, this is usually a safe game. Since I do, I literally thought I was going to die from a ruptured stomach. Mostly, though, it's quite interesting to see people's reactions to the effect of a banana and 7-up mixing in the stomach.

Re: Not Familiar
You sit in a circle. One person starts off saying 'Fuzzy Duck', the person to his left then says 'Fuzzy Duck', this continues clockwise round the circle until someone says 'Duzzy' Or 'Does he', the player to that persons right then has to say 'Ducky Fuzz' followed by the person on his right and so on round the group counterclockwise until once again someone says 'Duzzy'.
This is usually played as a drinking game with mistakes being penalised. Naturally the particular words involved inevitably lead to hilarious consequences ensuing, provided you find four letter expletives hilarious.
TTFN,
WK

Oh, since it's kids under 10, another fun one is to put a bit of shaving cream on each child's nose, then arm each one with a water pistol. (Pistol, not super soaker.)
You lose your shaving cream, you're out.
We like the messy ones. Here's another. Break the kids into teams of 2. Each team gets a small sundae in a cup with a tablespoon (not a teaspoon) to eat it with. One member lays on his/her back, towel over hair and eyes, so they can't see and their hair stays somewhat clean. Their partner feeds them the sundae as fast as they can. First one done wins.
This is more fun if the partner has to stand up with the sundae and drop the spoonfuls into the partner's mouth :-0.
Sorry, I don't know any Elvis games.
