18th Birthday Party Ideas

18th Birthday party Ideas - When it comes to putting together an 18th birthday party, one word you’re not likely to hear is moderation. 18th birthday parties are a great way of celebrating the transition from childhood to the beginning of life as a young adult. Life after 18 becomes that little bit more complicated than it was before, so an 18th birthday party can also serve as a lovely way to wish the birthday girl or boy well.

18th birthdays tend to be big occasions (as well as the last party funded entirely by the bank of mum and dad), so utilise entertainment to make your night really memorable. If you’re having a party with all your friends and family in attendance, a great option is to hire in a DJ or live band to get everybody in the party spirit. If you want to go a slightly less rowdy route but still want to get everyone at the party involved in the fun and games, consider hiring a fun casino. You can personalise the fun money used at the tables with a picture of the birthday boy or girl – preferably with something nice and embarrassing from earlier years. A brilliant addition to any birthday party is a photo booth – when someone’s coming of age, they’ll want to remember it forever, and hiring a photo booth means they get lasting mementos.

Of course, we all know what being 18 means to most young people – so why not give them what they want and hire in a mixologist? You can discuss beforehand exactly what drinks will be served, and even theme your drinks after the birthday guy or gal. If you’re considering catering to mop up all the fun and games provided by the mixologist, a mobile chip van is a great way to provide the guests with gourmet food whilst saving yourself a lot of cooking and cleaning up.

Every 18 year old is different, and as such so is every 18th birthday party. Make sure you cater to the birthday girl or guy’s own personal tastes when you’re planning, and everything is sure to go down a treat.
