The most interesting ideas for your celebration, choose your option and make the holiday unforgettable.
Interesting ideas for girls
A girl's birthday can be celebrated in different ways:
Ride in a limousine. Surely every girl dreams of feeling like a star and driving around the city in an expensive car. And coming of age is a great opportunity to fulfill such a desire.
Rent a limousine, decorate it, chill the champagne in advance, choose music and please yourself (the birthday boy) and attract the attention of passers-by. But remember that renting such a car for a few hours will entail significant costs.
In addition, the cabin cannot accommodate a large number of guests. Going to a spa or beauty salon. Of course, such an event will require large expenses, but after all, turning eighteen is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and if there are few guests, you can save up the required amount to allow the birthday girl and her friends to change their image, improve their appearance, or relax by going through a series of pleasant and useful procedures. Evening at a karaoke bar. Many girls love to sing, and taking this hobby into account, you can book a table or even rent an entire hall for the celebration. A day at an amusement park. If a girl never rode a carousel as a child or wants to remember her early, carefree childhood, then she will definitely remember her coming of age by spending it with friends and riding on the most extreme rides.
For girls and young people
For girls
What should a girl do if she doesn’t want noisy parties? Representatives of the fair sex, as a rule, are much more romantic than men, so they may not want to celebrate on a grand scale. In this case they arrange:
- bachelorette party with fortune telling (you can invite a professional fortune teller);
- pajama party for girlfriends;
- a romantic walk with your loved one - a boat trip, dinner on the roof of a skyscraper, horseback riding;
- a photo session with close friends in nature (call a professional photographer or rent a studio and shoot in historical costumes or in the images of your favorite literary characters).
Young men also indulge in some of these activities, but they usually prefer something more extreme.
A lot depends on friends. They should think in advance what to give the girl for her 18th birthday so that this day becomes special for her and is memorable for her.
For guys
For a male (or almost male) company, for those who really want to remember this day, and not rejoice at the opportunity to buy alcohol on their own, we can recommend the following options:
- make a film about childhood and adolescence, visiting your kindergarten, school, club on the day of coming of age, where the birthday boy went to clubs, etc., and then edit it and write the music yourself;
- record a song with friends in a professional studio and then shoot a video for it;
- go fishing overnight;
- go skiing (of course, when it’s winter outside);
- if there is a sea nearby and the time of year allows, you can organize a trip on the water - on a boat, sailing or on a yacht with sufficient financial resources.
In any case, we must remember that the key to a good holiday is good company. And in order not to offend your relatives, it is better to set aside two days for the celebration: one to devote to a home celebration, and on the second to meet with friends.
How to celebrate 18 years at home
As a rule, everyone immediately tries to refuse a home birthday, considering it boring and banal. However, if you approach the organization of such a holiday wisely, it will turn out to be fun. Arrange:
- Pajama party. Let all the guests come the evening before day X, taking with them funny pajamas (perhaps someone even has onesies), watch horror films all night, eating away fear with various goodies. In fact, it is in these little things that happiness lies; at the age of 18 you can and even should allow yourself (and your guests at the same time) to remain a child.
- Karaoke evening. Is singing and dancing until you drop only associated with the club? In vain! You can have a blast at home just as well, you don’t even need a microphone for this, all you need is the Internet and a group of cheerful friends.
- Costume party. Mafia style, fairy tale world or pirates? Anything! Let guests come in strict accordance with the dress code, but the decoration of the house, musical accompaniment and treats on the table should also be in theme.
In order to celebrate her 18th birthday, a girl does not need large financial investments, the main thing is great company and a cheerful mood.
How to celebrate your 18th birthday on a budget
If you have a modest budget for a coming-of-age celebration, there is no need to get upset and cancel everything. Give your friends the idea of putting together money (instead of gifts) and spending an interesting evening together: sitting in a bar, going to a movie, getting out into nature. This way you will attract additional funds for a worthy celebration, and instead of gifts you will receive the most striking photographs. By the way, organizing a photo shoot can become a separate holiday idea. Invite a friend or acquaintance who is interested in photography, choose a place in nature for this event. Bring snacks and drinks for a small picnic and relax while spending time with family and friends.
Preparing a quest
For their son’s 18th birthday, parents can organize a quest called “basement spirit.” The quest game begins when all the guests have arrived. The presenter appears, greets the birthday boy and guests, and reports that the team is underground at a depth of 30 m. An important document is hidden somewhere in the walls, but it is under the protection of an immortal spirit. The team's task is to find a document, familiarize itself with its contents in order to solve the mystery of this place. The first test begins immediately.
The presenter offers to solve several logical puzzles. He lays out in front of the team an example from matches in which a mistake was made. You need to rearrange one match to get the correct example. Having solved the problem, the team moves on and receives the next test.
There are 4 numbered glasses placed in front of the team. Nearby is a map where the location of this task and 4 different paths are marked. In the room you need to find a bottle of liquid. Pour a little liquid from the bottle into each glass and follow the path where the reaction occurs. For example, the reaction occurred in glass number 3. This means that you should go along the 3rd path on the map.
Next, the team finds itself in a room filled with balloons. Puzzles are hidden inside one of the balls. The team's task: burst the balloons without hands, find the puzzle, assemble it, read the clue hidden on the back of the picture.
There should be about 15 similar tasks, rebuses and puzzles. As a result, the team must get into the room, which is the home of the basement spirit. It is there that a document is hidden that tells the story of the basement, the spirit itself, and there is a painted map where the treasure is hidden - a gift for the birthday boy. All that remains is to follow the map to help the hero of the occasion receive his present.

Competition “Who knows the birthday girl better?”
When a child was born in Ancient Greece, he always had a patron from the numerous gods on Olympus. The one whom Apollo patronized was handsome; the one who was patronized by Terpsichore was an excellent dancer; the one whom Athena loved was smart like no one else. But when our birthday girl was born, all the gods of Olympus became her patrons.
What year was this? … . A girl was born, they named her…. Let's find out now who knows the birthday girl best? We answer the questions together:
- The city where the birthday girl was born?
- Parameters at birth?
- What time of day were you born?
- What grades did you graduate from school with?
- What is her favorite toy?
- What about your favorite flower?
- Favorite dish?
- Favorite activity, hobby?
- Favourite drink?
- Favorite color?
- Favorite childhood song?
Well, who knows his child better than the mother... (a toast to the mother).
Choosing and decorating the venue for the holiday
First of all, parents need to understand that organizing a coming-of-age party at home is inappropriate. A teenager wants to “hang out” with friends without adult supervision. As an alternative, you can arrange a small festive gathering in the family circle with parents and other relatives during the daytime, before the friendly get-together begins. To do this, you can slightly decorate the room, but do not overdo it. A few balls and glowing garlands will be enough.
Choosing a place to hold a festive event in honor of a guy’s 18th birthday is not an easy task.
It is important to take into account the teenager’s preferences and wishes
When decorating a place for a celebration, you need to take into account the preferences of the birthday person. Thematic options will be of no use. It is unlikely that the young man and his friends will want to dress up in pirate costumes. Club partygoers will like the arrangement of the chosen place with a dance floor, light music and a bar with soft drinks. Book lovers and film buffs will be happy to enter a room designed based on the prototype of their favorite work
It is extremely important for the extreme sports person’s birthday that the room embodies home comfort, warmth and tranquility
in winter
A coming-of-age celebration that takes place in winter is best organized in a warm atmosphere with the opportunity to go outside for snowball fights or snowmobiling. For such purposes, you can rent a cottage. During the day, a group of friends will have fun on the street, and in the evening a show program will begin inside the house. There is no point in decorating the outside of the cottage
Guests will not pay attention to the facade of the building
Another interesting option for celebrating a guy’s coming of age in winter is to send the birthday boy and friends to the ski resort. During the day, the hero of the occasion and his guests will enjoy skiing and snowboarding from the mountain peaks, and in the evening they will be returned to the city, to the party venue, on a rented bus. For example, to an indoor water park. What’s remarkable is that there is no need to decorate it. All the decorations placed inside the establishment are reminiscent of summer days. All that remains is to allocate a place for the DJ with his equipment and create a relaxation area.
in spring
Spring is a great time of year to celebrate a guy's coming of age. And there are much more places for events than in winter. When a teenager comes of age, he can go play paintball or airsoft, go go-karting or visit a shooting range. The establishment itself does not involve any additional decorations in honor of the holiday.
In summer
Summer offers a wide variety of places to celebrate coming of age. However, guys often opt for beach parties. Parents need to rent a recreation area, invite a professional DJ, work out the menu for the holiday table and order drinks. In this case, what needs to be decorated is not the guest house, but the beach itself. You can hang glowing garlands, place metal barrels around the perimeter to make a fire, or set up a photo zone to capture such a memorable event.
in autumn
In the fall, it’s not so easy to find a place to hold an event dedicated to a guy’s coming of age. But if you search, you can find several interesting places. For example, you can send the birthday boy and friends on an interesting quest through abandoned places in the city. During the day, the team solves riddles compiled by parent organizers or event agency employees, and in the evening they come to a cafe where their fun continues. With this method of celebration, it is important to decorate the rented room in the cafe in the style of the quest.
Ideas for everyone
How to celebrate a girl or guy’s 18th birthday so that both the guests and the birthday boy have fun and interest? We offer several universal options that are suitable for both sexes:
- Home party. You can have great fun at home, but there are a number of nuances. Firstly, after the grand celebration and the “invasion” of guests, there will probably be trash left that the birthday boy or his parents will have to clean up. Secondly, if there are a lot of invitees, then there may simply not be enough space in the apartment for active entertainment. Thirdly, the neighbors are unlikely to be happy about the noise, but it is simply inevitable during such an event. But if you plan to hold the celebration in a spacious private house, then you don’t have to worry about the last two nuances. If there is no such territory, it is possible to rent a country cottage or a cozy large dacha.
- A trip to a nightclub will surely appeal to both girls and boys, because almost all eighteen-year-old people love rhythmic music and fiery dancing. But it is important to choose a good club with an impeccable reputation. In addition, the parents of the hero of the occasion and guests will probably worry about the amount of alcohol consumed and the possibility of using drugs, so you can ask the administrator to keep an eye on the company.
- Theme party. The main topic can be anything: a specific film or film genre, comic book, book, country and its traditions, and so on. And for the party to be a success, literally everything should be kept in the given style: the design of the territory, outfits, entertainment, refreshments, and so on.
- Picnic with competitions and active games. Such a holiday is relevant in the warm season, so if a girl or guy was born in the summer, early autumn or late spring, then the open space will provide a lot of opportunities. You can hold fun competitions and outdoor games, or even arrange a real quest with tasks and searches for treasure or something else.
- Game night. There are a lot of interesting youth games, such as “Crocodile”, “Forfeits”, “Mafia”, “Truth or Dare”, “Twister”.
Extreme
If you live in a mountainous area, then you should definitely go to a ski lodge. Mountain slopes with dazzling white snow will help you distance yourself from all everyday problems. And skis or a snowboard will only enhance the impression.
How do you feel about driving around the race track with professional racers? The event is not for the faint of heart, but extreme sports enthusiasts will enjoy it.
Another stunning way is a parachute jump. The endless horizon and freedom will not leave anyone alone.
A person experiences the same emotions when he jumps from a great height using an elastic band. Today, this attraction is popular among young people, but the most memorable thing is the first jump, especially on a day like this.
Well, probably the most extravagant option is to get yourself a temporary tattoo. In a few months it will disappear, and you will know whether you need it or not.
Coming of age is an important holiday for every person. Remember, now you are fully responsible for your actions, therefore, treat everything on this day with love and patience, and ideas on how to celebrate will come by themselves.
Creative ideas
- The numbers 18 are associated with coming of age. If you want to celebrate your daughter's birthday in a special way, then invite 18 friends to celebrate this day. Prepare 18 different dishes, and then organize a trip to 18 remarkable places in the city.
- If a girl was born in hot weather, then a good solution would be to celebrate her birthday in nature. Take a walk with your relatives and friends in the park, and if there is a body of water nearby, such as a river or pond, then go there.
- For extreme sports enthusiasts, a parachute jump is organized. This is an original solution that will certainly appeal to all guests, but at the same time take into account their financial capabilities.
- If a girl was born in winter, then ice skating will be organized; this will saturate the festive atmosphere with joy, and guests will not be bored while sitting at the table.

Good idea: balls in a net. This design is attached to the ceiling, and when the network is untied, multi-colored rain is obtained. A similar method is a large ball with several small ones inside, which shower guests after the shell explodes.

How to celebrate a guy's 18th birthday: TOP 5 best scenarios
- Karting. All boys love cars. Even if the boys are 18 years old, and the cars are no longer toys. Take a group of friends and go to a real race. It would be a good idea to prepare symbolic prizes for the winners. For example, you can buy chocolate or toy medals - they will remain in memory of a great day. After karting, you can go to the nearest cafe and have lunch/dinner.
- Airsoft. All boys love war games. Everything here is the same as in the first case. Take a noisy group, divide into teams, pick up almost real machine guns and shoot “enemies” with almost real bullets. It will be much more interesting if as a location you choose not a specialized site in the park, but, for example, an abandoned hospital building outside the city. Many companies provide all the equipment necessary for playing airsoft for rent, so you can just stock up on what you need and go wherever your eyes take you.
- Party in luxury style. Quite an expensive option, but if finances allow, great. Rent a limousine for a few hours, stock up on champagne and snacks and go for a ride around the city at night. After enjoying the car ride, you can stop at your favorite establishment and continue the holiday there.
- The holiday is not for the faint of heart. This option for celebrating a guy’s 18th birthday is good if the birthday boy is a fan of extreme sports. Then you can safely go skydiving, rafting down the river or go skiing on steep slopes.
- Holiday with master classes. Another unconventional and interesting option for celebrating a birthday is a party with a sushi master class. A professional master will teach you how to cook perfect rolls even for those who have had scrambled eggs all their lives. Our master classes are conducted in an entertaining format, so your guests, regardless of their gender and age. They won't get bored. The three main advantages of this option for celebrating a guy’s 18th birthday are that it is financially accessible, unusual and, most importantly, by ordering a master class for your holiday, you kill two birds with one stone - you entertain the guests and feed them. After all, at the end of the lesson, all participants will be treated to a tasting of dishes prepared with their own hands and by the hands of a professional master.
Closing the topic of holding an 18th birthday party, let us remind you that when planning a holiday you need to remember several factors: your own budget, your own interests, the social and age difference between the invited guests (try to make sure that people communicate with each other and do not get bored)
It is also important to take into account the weather factor - if it is raining outside, an outdoor party is unlikely to be a good idea.
Festive table
Here it is worth remembering that a company of young people needs not so much gourmet lobsters and snails, but simple, but tasty, everyone’s favorite food. And preferably more. Let us note that in a male company the sweet table is unlikely to be in demand, so focus on meat dishes and side dishes. And finally. Alcohol. 18 years is the age when you can already drink alcohol, but at the same time. The body is still little accustomed to it. If you don’t want half of the guests to greet the next morning with a headache at best, and in the hospital at worst, know when to stop when buying alcohol for the day of the celebration.
Present
All men want them, no matter what they say. And, as is the case with girls
Contrary to words, it is not only attention that is important, but also the gift itself

18th Birthday Party Ideas for Guys
The birthday boy is finally legal and you're ready to tell the world about it. Throw a party for someone just like them with these 18th birthday ideas for guys.
Fireworks Party
Did you know that you cannot buy fireworks until you are 18? Make your new freedom the centerpiece of your birthday party by turning on the fireworks. There are many other explosive colors to carry this theme. However, make sure fireworks are legal where you live and that you warn any neighbors who live nearby.
Zombie Mark
This is the perfect place for an active 18th birthday getaway. Designate a starting zombie and start the rest of the party guests as humans. When only people are allowed to run around and the play area is marked, have the zombie try to tag the other guests. If a person is marked, he becomes a zombie. Make sure to provide face paint for the transformed zombies. The game ends when there is only one survivor left.
Sports Party
Garnish the meal with the honoree's favorite sport. That means football cupcakes or baseball pizza. Incorporate sports memorabilia into the rest of your holiday decor. Also, incorporate this sport as an outdoor or outdoor party game.
Coming of age on a small budget
There is not and cannot be a single recipe for everyone on how to celebrate an 18th birthday. After all, what the celebration will be like depends on many factors:
- holiday budget,
- what company will come to visit,
- occupation of the birthday boy,
- location,
- season,
- individual birthday wishes, etc.
When a student who lives in a hostel far from home and does not count on parental support turns 18, he can throw a memorable party with friends with a very modest amount:
- Go to the nearest park to ride bicycles or roller skates if it’s summer, or skiing and skating if your birthday is in winter. You can take some treats with you and organize a picnic; This is true even for winter - take a thermos with you and something for tea that you can put in your backpack. Be sure to take a camera with you and arrange an “on-site photo shoot.”
- Go to the shore (sea, river, lake) and fry kebabs. If barbecue is expensive, you can get by with sausages or vegetables on the grill. The main thing is to bring a record player so you can dance, or a guitar if you like to sing.
- Celebrate your 18th birthday in the hostel, invite a large group, but agree that instead of gifts, everyone will bring something for the table: a drink or a snack. In this option, the most important thing is to find a common language with the commandant so that he tries to get into the situation.
When choosing where to celebrate a holiday, it is best to rely on the tastes of the company. Fans of live music can go to a concert of one of the local bands, and those who have their own group sometimes even organize a concert on this day themselves and congratulate their guitarist (vocalist, drummer, etc.) on his birthday right from scenes.
Advice for parents:
- Ask your child about his wishes and preferences, how many guests he would like to invite, where he would like to celebrate the holiday.
- Any reasonable wishes should be supported, and we should advise something specific on controversial issues. And remember, most likely there will be no place for you at the youth party (it all depends on the wishes of the hero of the occasion and the type of celebration planned).
- For parents, grandmothers and godparents, if necessary, organize a separate table. It is unlikely that anyone will be against it.
