What's the party for? Birthday? Promotion? Retirement?
What are his likes and dislikes?
My husband's birthday was back in May and he loves video games. I bought him a couple new games for his PS2 and rented another PS2 to hook up to our second tv. I set them both up in the living room and invited some of his buddies over. They played games all night. I made lots of snack food and hamburgers. I also had lots of beer. He loved it. The food and PS2 rental only cost me about $90.
How about a poker party? Simply have some friends over and play poker all night. Make easy to eat foods like chili and hamburgers.
Another way you could do a surprise party. Tell him you want to take him out to dinner. Halfway there "remember" you forgot something. Have all the guests waiting for you two there. Have each guest bring a dish or make things in advance and just heat them up.
Another way is to have a friend throw the party at their house. Simply figure out someway to explain why you are hanging out at the friend's house. When the guests arrive call him and tell him you need him to bring you something.

I threw a 25th anniversary suprise party and in the invitations I asked that everyone send a picture of themselves to me.
I had a 36" x 28" by collage made and I put a saying on the bottom of it
May the friends of our youth
Be the companions of our old age
they loved it
take pics of your bfs friends and make a collage and have it framed.. he will think it is very cool

Throw down A chill out lounge!
Set up a bar with a designated Bar Tender....
Martinis, mixed drinks, Create a Drink or shot named after him...then everyone has to drink to him...lol
Plan your music ahead....try the chill out series, Ibiza or buddha bar and throw in some disco.
Put out some food keep it simple Bite size stuff...tell your guests to eat dinner before that it's just a cocktail party.
To decorate....easy just dim the lighting, throw in a few red bulbs and light some candles
Let everyone kick back and lounge.

Get a bunch of music from the year he was born. Tell all the guests to bring a dish from that era. It'll be a total retro party!

Have a big carton box delivered to the party with you inside it wearing your baby suit. When your bf opens it he'll have the surprise of his life.
