21st Birthday - Time to Party Hard!

Monday, June 18, 2007

So you’re turning 21. You’re an adult now. You could drive and marry and now you can do another adult thing – have a beer. It’s the beginning of a new phase in your life. No more fake IDs torn up by disbelieving bouncers or cynical bartenders. The party’s only just starting and you know it. A word of caution before you begin to plan your big day – make sure that any under age party guests do not get access to alcohol at your party or you could be in serious trouble. Also ensure that you or your guests are not driving home after consuming alcohol that night.

OK, now let’s get back to planning a 21th birthday party. Make sure there are plenty of drinks and snacks to go around, get a big shiny disco ball, some great music and make space for dancing. A good drink idea is to have a big punch bowl and fill it up with potent liquid. Another drinking idea is to have jelly shooters, which are basically flavoured jell-o with half vodka, half water in the mix. You can pick a wild theme like 70’s flower children or slick 21st century urban club scene – the wilder the better! Make it even more fun by giving away small prizes for the best and worst dressed!

Remember to invite plenty of guests, because you only turn 21 once. Your 21st birthday is an occasion you’ll look back on fondly in the years to come.
