18th Birthday Party Ideas - Can anyone help please? Post Reply

[sally2]

I am organising a birthday party for an 18 year old, but am a bit out of touch with this age group these days! Does anyone have a son or daughter this age or can give me some quirky ideas of what they might like or be into please?

Your feedback would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Are u actually planning a party?
If so where? Ur house would proberly be a disaster and a hall or other venue can also be difficult. Not many places cater for 18 year olds, for 2 main reasons, it can become very messy and disruptive. The other being, 18 year olds have lots of friends that are 17, and will want to drink and if they get hold of drink they can lose there license.
Theres so much to think about, if u are organising something at home, what are u organsing, if ur thinking, pop, sandwichs and some music, your child will be a laughing stock but if ur planning a big sabang, uwith caters, booze and a dj ur be a legend but there are consequences for this (underage drinking and being sick in ur house)
So all that considered, I would choose the easier option
Book a session at go carting, quad biking, laser quest or painballing.
If u the party person is a danty girl, a nice meal somewhere.
Thorpe park is also a good option as everyone normally seems to like that

Hope this helps.

My company can help if you are thinking of having a sit down dinner and therefore need place names, or if you want to have a small give-away present for all the friends at the end of the night - Personalised Chocolate Bars. We have lots of fun wrapper designs on our website, you can even add a cheesy photo of your 18 year old to the wrapper!

Good luck!
