From an individual standpoint, birthdays are the biggest and most special celebrations we have each year. While Christmas is a big day, this is a day we share with everyone else and that has little personal residence, whereas a birthday is a day that’s entirely devoted to us and that ensures we get all of that attention.
While birthdays are very special and a great excuse to celebrate with friends/ receive lots of lavish gifts though, some birthdays are even more special than others – and the 21st birthday is perhaps the most important of them all marking the point at which you truly become an adult and start living your life.
This is your big day, and it’s a big day that you will only get once in your life, and as such you’ve probably been building it up in your mind rather. Making the most of it then so that you aren’t let down and so that you don’t squander the opportunity is very important . Here are some ways to ensure your 21st is everything it’s meant to be.
Have a Huge Party
The best and most effective way to mark this special occasion is with a huge blowout that you can enjoy with all your friends and family that tops every other birthday party you’ve had up until this point. Some other things can add an edge to your 21st party too – for instance this is a great opportunity to hire a limousine, and you should order some good champagne too. And of course your parents should be willing to help you fund all this…
Make sure you make an extensive guest list, make sure that everyone is in great spirits, organize some games, find a good DJ, and make sure you look at the very best 21st birthday venues that will be big enough to house all the chaos.
Do Something Exciting
To mark your 21st birthday you should look at doing something unique and exciting that you wouldn’t normally. This doesn’t necessarily have to be on the day, as you should aim to make the whole year ‘big’ rather than just that one day, but it does need to be big enough to last in your memory whether that means going bungee jumping or going on an amazing holiday. Chances are that most of your friends will turn 21 this year too, so why don’t you all go somewhere amazing together?
Ask for Something Special
For your 21st birthday party people are likely going to be willing to spend a little more money on you than they normally might. You should make the most of this by asking for meaningful gifts that will stand the test of time rather than things you ‘need’ or impersonal gadgets. This might mean for instance asking for a nice watch, a nice piece of jewellery, keys to the house (though in this day and age you probably got your first set when you were four), a photo album or your first car/money toward it. This way you’ll have something that really marks your transition into adulthood and that will remind you of your big day for years to come.
