18th Birthday Party Venues: Tips and Ideas

• What is your budget for the big party? It's important to see what particular venues charge per day or per hour. 
• How many people do you plan on inviting and will the venue accept any underage guests?
• Have you thought about having a theme for your party? It might not seem like a grown-up thing to do, but imaginative themes like 'Dress as a Famous Painting' or 'Dress as your Favourite Musical Era' can add an extra layer of fun to the event. 
• If you're struggling to think of ideas, try reading some of these unusual suggestions for a great 18th birthday party.
• Do you want to combine celebrations with your family and friends? It might be more fun to have two separate parties, one for each.
• If your birthday's in the summer, you might also consider one of our garden party venues or outdoor party venues.

Things To Look Out For:

• You may have reached the age where you can legally drink in a bar, pub or club, but many of your friends may still be seventeen or younger. You'll need to check with the venue whether they will allow entry to under-18s.
• If you're an adult organising this party on behalf of a teenage relative, it's worth talking to staff at the venue to let them know what to expect. You can always ask the bar staff not to serve shots or doubles if you're worried about things getting out of control.
• Similarly, if you're the adult in charge and you're concerned about teenage partygoers drinking too much, serving plenty of food should help to keep everyone sober.

What Can I Do Now I've Turned 18?

• After reaching your 18th birthday you are eligible to vote in a general election or council election.
• You can also legally drink in a pub or bar — just don't forget your ID!
• You can also buy a lottery ticket or scratch card. That's one to consider if you need to buy an 18th birthday present for a friend...
• From here on in, you can go see any 18-rated film at the cinema. Perhaps a special birthday trip to the movies is in order.
