I’m turning 21 this year and even though it is kind of terrifying, I’m looking forward to it. I have been looking for the best 21st birthday ideas and I have a ton of them. Seriously, my Pinterest is begging for some rest.
If you’re turning 21st this year and need inspiration, these are the best 21st birthday ideas.
1. Have a sleepover with your best friends
I used to have a sleepover with my best friends once a year until I turned 14. We used to put a tent in my garden and heat candy whilst talking about the boys in our school. They are the best memories I have of my teenage era and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my 21st.
2. Memory album
The fun in this – apart from having the memories printed forever – is to see how the pictures change as you and your friends drink more and more through the night.
3. Floral photoshoot
It wouldn’t be a 21st without a million pictures, right? I love this floral one, and it goes perfectly with “glam” themes.
4. …or alcoholic
This would be the perfect photoshoot for me.
5. Balloon Garlands
Balloons are my favorite article to decorate parties. They make the room look so elegant and fancy. Balloons everywhere, please!
6. Sweet Table
I love sweets, cakes, cookies and everything with sugar so for me, a party without A LOT of it, wouldn’t be a party
7. Welcome gift
This is an amazing way to start, giving everyone this cute little welcome kit to get the party started.
8. Selfie station
And of course, we want the selfies to look cute too, don’t we?
10. Create a magic environment
I bet you want the “WOW” effect for your party as much as I do. If this balloon idea doesn’t give that effect, I don’t know what will.
11. Jelly Shot Tower
How fun would this be?! It can be done real quick and easy and it’s a really cheap idea to get drunk, I mean, to have fun.
12. Themed party
I am extremely tempted to throw a Harry Potter-themed 21st birthday party. I can’t stop picturing my boyfriend dressed as Hagrid and my mum as Dolores Umbridge.
13. Alcohol Bouquet
This alcohol bouquet is the perfect gift for a 21st birthday. Here in the UK, we can start drinking legally when we turn 18 but still, an ode to alcohol is always a good idea.
14. Champagne Wall
This is the most glamorous and elegant way to display alcohol I have ever seen. I am planning on building this in my office.
15. Party Checklist
Just imagine how fun it would be if you actually manage to do all of them! And it gives you something to do which is nice instead of just waiting for things to happen.
16. Photo Booth Frame
I know I insist on the pictures but you’ll love to look at them in 10 years time and see how amazing and cute your party was.
17. Hilarious 21st Birthday cake
I. Want. These. Cakes. If I had a spirit cake, it’d be one of these. How amazing are they?!
18. Or a cute birthday cake
Obviously, after the joke cake, I’d have an elegant big pink cake. It wouldn’t be a sweet 21st without it.
