A 21st birthday is a very special occasion and in quite a few places around the world it’s when you technically become an adult – someone who’s able to drive, drink in bars, and vote. Because of this, it’s likely to be a big birthday celebration that you’ll look back on fondly for years to come. If you’re looking to throw an unforgettable birthday with all the trimmings, keep reading for some helpful tips to ensure it’s a wonderful celebration.
Invite People Well in Advance
Whether you’re planning the party for yourself, or throwing it for someone else, one of the most important aspects of a party is the guest list. One of the biggest mistakes I see people making when they’re planning a party is they leave the invitations too late and people find themselves with other events on at the same time. If you don’t want people having to miss out on coming, or just popping in for a short while before another event, be sure to send out your invites well in advance. For such a special occasion, you may want to create a beautiful custom 21st birthday party invitation. Having custom invites allows you to set the mood well in advance, and ensures that your guests will want to pop the event in their calendars. There’s something special about receiving unique party invitations in the mail, especially if you customize it to suit your event’s theme!
Make the Party Personal
The birthday party should reflect whoever it is for – does the birthday person have a favorite type of drink? Why not make a special cocktail to reflect their favorite flavors. Another fun way to make the party personal is by using their favorite colors for decorations, whether that’s balloons, streamers or even the cake. If the birthday gal or guy isn’t a big fan of drinking, then you might want to tone it down to reflect their interests. While it should be something everyone will enjoy, it’s important that the party is centered around the guest of honor’s likes.
Plan the Bars in Advance
If bars are on the agenda, you’re going to want to look ahead to make an itinerary of where to go. There’s nothing worse than everyone dressed up, standing around in the cold, debating what the next place should be. Having an itinerary of where you are going will save the night hitting a road bump and ensure you have options on the go. Be sure to check in advance if Covid-19 has impacted any of the places you want to go, including what days they’re open and their opening times.
Consider Hiring a Venue
Hiring a venue has a number of great benefits, but one of the great benefits is you’ll have a dedicated space to host the party. Some venues offer things such as catering and drinks packages, so that you can know ahead of time how much everything will cost. Another benefit is depending on the venue they may have clean up services, so you can enjoy the party without worrying about the mess. A venue could be a great idea if you have a very big guest list, or if you’re just looking for a little more space so you can implement some social distancing.
Birthdays are such a wonderful time, they’re a great opportunity to celebrate the birthday person. Hopefully these tips help you ensure that you, or the birthday guest, has an unforgettable 21st birthday party.
