How to Plan the Coolest 21st Birthday Party you’ll never forget!

Your 21^st birthday is a milestone, an official rite of passage into the adult world. It is the time it finally daunts on you that you’re an adult with your whole life ahead of you, to achieve all the goals you have in mind and start turning it into reality. I like to see it as beginning a new chapter in life, and I feel that it’s a special day worth celebrating with the people you care about!

Here’s all you need to plan for a party – so you don’t need to stress over how to do it.

1. Who’s invited?

First and foremost, before you even think about any other aspects, consider who you’ll be inviting to your party. After all, it's the people that make the party! Think about whether it’s going to be a friends-only party, or are you planning on inviting family as well? You might not want your family to hear embarrassing stories from your friends or worse yet, get a lecture from your parents after the whole party’s over – so, do plan accordingly!

2. What’s the budget?

At 21, you might not have all the funds needed to throw the dream party you’ve imagined in your head – although you can still plan a really fantastic one with what you have! That’s why the budget is the 2^nd most important factor. Now that you have a list of who’s coming to your party, you can start to consider what’s the maximum amount of money you can afford to pay for everything.

Your budget will determine what kind of party it will be – whether it’s an intimate sit-down with friends and family at home or an extravaganza all-out party at a hotel!

3. Where’s the party at?

Location is the next factor to consider, throwing a party in your own home or renting a space outside are the most popular choices you can think about. If you’re on a tighter budget, we’d recommend you have it at home to save on costs! Timing is important as well if you’re looking for a place to rent, as prices tend to run a little steeper on weekends or even public holidays. No matter where your party is, FoodLine makes sure everyone’s tummies are satisfied with over 300 caterers and cake shops available for you to choose from.

4. What are we having?

5. What are we doing?

Depending on what kind of party you want to throw and who your guests are, you might want to also consider hiring people to entertain for the event – such as live ice cream stations or even replacing the usual cake with a whole BBQ set up for your guests and yourself! Now that’s a more casual, yet super fun way to celebrate the milestone!
