birthday present

There are many different parts of your life that you will look back on. You will remember each milestone you passed. Birthdays are one of the milestones, beginning with your birth, then continuing through with “tweens” and teenage years. The 21st birthday is a big one for most, bigger than turning 18 because even if you had some limitations after turning 18, when you turn 21, you feel that you own the world.

You are no longer daddy and mommy’s little girl or boy. Most look forward to this day when they will be ready to get out and spread their wings. With all of this in mind shouldn’t this birthday be something really special? Why not have a birthday celebration that will be remembered for years to come? It is a time of transitioning from child to adult.

For your party planning endeavors, perhaps consider something like inviting guests to come dressed as what they wanted to be when they were children. For example, if someone had originally wanted to be a policeman, then rent a uniform; or if they wanted to become the first dancing ballerina on the moon dress in a tutu and space helmet or something similar. This can be a great way to celebrate a 21st birthday and everyone will get a real kick out of seeing what everyone else originally wanted to be when they “grew up.”

Or for a different idea and one that will add a little excitement to the birthday bash, have the invitations advise the guests to wear exactly what they were wearing when they opened the invitation. Naturally, if you were not wearing anything there might be a slight problem showing up in your birthday suit and even some pajama’s may be a little on the risky side, just use your best judgment and everyone will enjoy a great birthday.

Another unique way to celebrate a 21st birthday is to have everyone dress as mobsters, the women can be gun molls or flappers and you can try to find some imitation Tommy guns that were popular in the roaring 20s. Of course, you can always go with an extremely formal birthday celebration where everyone dresses in tuxedos or ball gowns and incorporate some type of a ballroom dancing competition. Since not everyone is going to know how to ballroom dance, consider having a dance teacher come in for the first part of the celebration and offer some tips and moves to the guests before the competition. One more terrific idea is to have a masquerade party complete with gorgeous feathered masks for the ladies and Zorro type masks for the gentlemen with an unmasking at the end of the party.
