Alcohol is a consideration with any 21st-birthday celebration.
A good 21st birthday is completely subjective for each individual. Knowing the person celebrating the milestone makes it easier to put together what he will consider fun options. If you are uncertain, never assume what someone wants for his party. Instead, ask what themes or ideas he would like to include. Keep in mind that not all celebrants may be interested in the fact they are of legal age to drink alcohol.
Theme Parties
Theme parties incorporate numerous scenarios and can be all-inclusive events. These parties also allow guests to stay in one place avoiding transportation issues. Masquerade balls are formal parties where guest wear masks then reveal their true identities late in the night. Send plain white party masks with invitations to increase the mysterious aspect. Costume parties are a less formal option. Toga parties introduce a rambunctious Roman or Greek theme. Its frat party connotation makes it more ideally suited for parties that choose to have alcohol as a beverage selection. Outdoor parties such as a Hawaiian Luau also work well for birthdays that occur during spring or summer. Other themes might be something that the celebrant does for a hobby or enjoys to do. For example, snowboarders might enjoy a party with a wintry snow theme that features props relating to their favorite recreational sport.
Nightclubs and Restaurants
Nightclubs are a popular option for 21st-birthday celebrations. Many clubs have packages available specifically for 21st birthdays. Before going, decide if the group would like to have dinner at a local restaurant before attending the club. Many restaurants require advance reservations for large groups, so give them as close to an actual number of attendees as possible. Also, look into the option of renting a limo for the evening. This will give all members of the group a chance to consume alcohol if they choose to as well as make certain that everyone arrives at any destinations safely.
Birthday Trips
Take the birthday celebrant as well as a few of her friends on a trip. Some hotels have birthday or group packages that accommodate any planning needs. Always let the travel agency, hotel or cruise line know it's a special occasion even if a package is not available. They can help plan full events or suggest activities during the trip. Destination ideas for a 21st-birthday getaway include New York City, Las Vegas, Miami, the Caribbean, ski resorts or even the closest beach.
