To celebrate your 18th birthday in style, you need some great ideas. After all, you only come of age once. With these tips, your party will be one to remember.
Celebrating your 18th birthday: Ideas for the location
If you want to celebrate your 18th birthday, you should first think about the right location.
- Home: One of the classic ways to celebrate your 18th birthday is with a house party. However, this should not happen without your parents’ consent.
- Garden: If you have a garden, a garden party is a great option. In summer, for example, you could have a pool party, and in winter, a mulled wine party.
- Rented venue: So that you don’t have to celebrate at home, you can also rent a venue. For example, a room in a restaurant, a club, or even a barn. This will help you avoid any issues with your neighbors if things get a little loud.
- Bowling alley: A bowling alley is also a great place to celebrate your 18th birthday. These venues often have separate rooms where you can celebrate without being disturbed.
- Flexible location: If you decide to go on a party tour through the city, you can decide where you want to celebrate according to your mood. However, it makes sense to reserve a table at popular bars and clubs.
Celebrating your 18th birthday: How to make your party a highlight
To ensure that everyone has fond memories of the party, you should make a checklist of all the things that go into a good party.
- Theme: You can do this, but you don’t have to. For example, you could organize a bad taste party, a gender swap party, or a Disney princess party. There are no limits to your imagination when choosing a theme.
- Snacks: Make sure you have enough snacks. Don’t cook anything too elaborate. You can also ask your guests to bring a small dish (salad, dessert, etc.).
- Drinks: Provide drinks for every taste and don’t forget the drivers. Since alcohol is very expensive, simply ask your guests to bring their own.
- Music: When choosing music, it’s important to have something for every taste. Make sure to play the quieter songs at the end.
- Party games: Games are very important at a party. For example, beer pong, rage cage, ring of fire, Twister, or karaoke.
- Warn your neighbors: If you’re celebrating at home, you should definitely warn your neighbors. Bribing them with chocolates or champagne usually works quite well.
- Appropriate decorations: Party decorations are especially important at birthday parties. Get tablecloths, party tableware, napkins, and matching garlands.
- Rules: Set rules for your party in advance so that your home isn’t left in ruins afterwards.
