How to Celebrate Your 18th Birthday? Contests and Funny Scenarios, Games for a Company of Majority, How to Decorate a Room for a Holiday

The 18th anniver­sary is the hol­i­day that every­one remem­bers in the future as the best moment in life. From this day on, the birth­day boy becomes an inde­pen­dent adult. This date should remain in the mem­o­ry of a bright and unfor­get­table, it should be cel­e­brat­ed in an orig­i­nal way, to do some­thing spe­cial, which has nev­er been done before.

First of all, you need to take into account how the hero of the occa­sion wants to cel­e­brate his birth­day, because he is no longer a child and can do as he wants. He has the right to his own vision of how to orga­nize this day. There is noth­ing worse than the day when a per­son must final­ly become inde­pen­dent, dic­tate his will to him — so you will only spoil the hol­i­day. We must be pre­pared for the fact that a per­son does not want to cel­e­brate 18 years with his fam­i­ly. At this age, friends and a sig­nif­i­cant oth­er are of great impor­tance and this should be treat­ed with under­stand­ing.

Of course, orga­niz­ing such a cel­e­bra­tion can be so dif­fi­cult or bor­ing that the birth­day per­son does not want to cel­e­brate his birth­day at all. In this case, it is nec­es­sary to help, sug­gest how to fill this day with vivid emo­tions and unfor­get­table events.

To make the hol­i­day a suc­cess, it is impor­tant to choose a good place for it. Undoubt­ed­ly, the choice depends on the time of year. In win­ter, for exam­ple, open-air options are not suit­able. Hov­er, for any time of the year there are quite a lot of places ready to accept a cheer­ful com­pa­ny. Let’s con­sid­er some of them.

• Cafe. This option does not require much effort to orga­nize the event, because there they will do the most impor­tant thing for you — they will set the fes­tive table. You can invite a host — he will enter­tain the guests.

• Out­doors. Good ather, fresh air, sun, active games, dish­es cooked on a fire — this is already a hol­i­day, even when there is no rea­son.

• Rink. Young peo­ple love active enter­tain­ment, and ice skat­ing fits this con­cept per­fect­ly. In win­ter, there is noth­ing more pleas­ant than warm­ing up with a cup of hot cocoa with a donut in a pleas­ant com­pa­ny of friends after ice skat­ing.

• Quest room. A great place for a com­pa­ny — it helps to unite to solve com­mon prob­lems, strength­ens friend­ship and gives unfor­get­table emo­tions from vic­to­ry.

• Vir­tu­al Real­i­ty Club. An inter­est­ing and advanced way to cel­e­brate a birth­day even on a pirate ship, even in an elven cas­tle.

• Bowl­ing. This enter­tain­ment will def­i­nite­ly pro­vide vivid impres­sions with a touch of aris­toc­ra­cy.

• Hous­es. Undoubt­ed­ly, the most bud­getary option for cel­e­brat­ing the age of major­i­ty, which will not be bor­ing and unsuc­cess­ful at all if you orga­nize a theme par­ty.

The most impor­tant attribute of adult­hood is the num­ber 18, which must be present in the design of the room. You can fit it into the inte­ri­or in dif­fer­ent ways, for exam­ple, using heli­um bal­loons in the form of num­bers. Ordi­nary balls are also suit­able, which can be placed on the wall in the form of a trea­sured num­ber. The deci­sion to form num­bers from a gar­land or LED strip will be very inter­est­ing; it will look futur­is­tic in pho­tographs. You can also draw a num­ber from pho­tos of friends and rel­a­tives with con­grat­u­la­tions.

If you’re cel­e­brat­ing at home and it’s a themed par­ty, then the dec­o­ra­tions should match the theme. For exam­ple, if it’s a pirate par­ty, the walls can be dec­o­rat­ed with skull flags or trea­sure maps. And if the par­ty is orga­nized based on a movie, then card­board fig­ures of char­ac­ters will be a good dec­o­ra­tion.

Con­tests and fun games set the mood for the whole cel­e­bra­tion. You should pre­pare tasks for the par­ty in advance, a list of fun, fun­ny and inter­est­ing enter­tain­ment that will also cor­re­spond to the theme of the hol­i­day. Games should be var­ied, active and calm, so that guests have time to eat and quench their thirst with cool drinks.

Here are some exam­ples of fun youth games.

• Croc­o­dile. The rules of the game are very sim­ple: before start­ing, you need to write words or phras­es on pieces of paper. The first play­er draws a word from the hat and must explain this word to the rest of the play­ers with ges­tures, facial expres­sions or dances. The next play­er is the one who guess­es the word. To add fun to the game, you can write very unusu­al and inter­est­ing words, for exam­ple, lol­lipop, den­tal floss, rac­coon, flea. It will be a lot of fun to watch the play­ers try to draw such words.
• Vol­ley­ball. A clas­sic sum­mer activ­i­ty, hov­er, for a young com­pa­ny to split into two groups and com­pete would be a lot of fun.
• fris­bee. If you thought that fris­bee is only played with dogs, then you are wrong, a fly­ing saucer can be fun to play with friends, and it will be a great alter­na­tive to play­ing ball.
• Guess who you are. A game in which play­ers give each oth­er a word, and each par­tic­i­pant must guess who or what he is by ask­ing lead­ing ques­tions to all oth­er play­ers. Ques­tions should be posed in such a way that they can only be ansred with “yes” or “no”. If it is a theme par­ty, the game can be lim­it­ed to the theme of the hol­i­day. So you can rec­og­nize the char­ac­ters of car­toons or movies from the most unex­pect­ed side, this game will def­i­nite­ly pro­vide the whole com­pa­ny with a great mood.

A full stom­ach is the key to a good mood, and a good mood is exact­ly what achieve at the hol­i­day. In our coun­try, it is not cus­tom­ary to cel­e­brate any­thing on an emp­ty stom­ach, so it is worth allo­cat­ing enough time to com­pile a full-fledged fes­tive menu.

The choice of the main dish large­ly depends on the venue of the hol­i­day. For exam­ple, in nature there is no access to a huge selec­tion of dish­es, as in a cafe, but meat and veg­eta­bles cooked on an open fire, after active out­door games, will be very use­ful.

If you want fine din­ing, look for expen­sive restau­rants that cater to your needs.. The chefs of such estab­lish­ments are real pro­fes­sion­als ready to get acquaint­ed with the recipes offered by cus­tomers and bring to life any vision of the menu. In cheap­er cafes, the staff is like­ly to offer to focus on the stan­dard menu.

Eigh­teenth birth­day is an extra­or­di­nary day, which means and the menu must be extra­or­di­nary. To empha­size the solem­ni­ty of the moment, you should choose orig­i­nal dish­es. Even if the main course is very sim­ple, the focus can be on appe­tiz­ers or dessert.

Snacks are that part of the meal that takes place against the back­drop of the main cel­e­bra­tion, when guests are busy with games or com­pe­ti­tions. Dur­ing the cel­e­bra­tion of com­ing of age, most of the time pass­es in fuss and move­ment, and guests eat dish­es as if in beten times. There­fore, appe­tiz­ers are a very impor­tant part of the menu.

Rolls of pan­cakes with fish or caviar — a cold appe­tiz­er that is per­fect for a hot sum­mer par­ty. It com­bines the taste famil­iar to every­one since child­hood and the con­ve­nience of ori­en­tal cui­sine. This is, with­out a doubt, an exquis­ite dish that is not ashamed to be put on the fes­tive table.

Tartlets - the most ver­sa­tile snacks you can think of. Fill­ings can be made from cod liv­er with melt­ed cheese, chick­en with mush­rooms, or red fish with cream cheese. There are also many recipes for veg­e­tar­i­an tartlets, for exam­ple, with tofu and mush­rooms, with feta cheese, toma­to and cucum­ber. Even for those with a set tooth, there are amaz­ing recipes for light and airy snacks: with straw­ber­ries and vanil­la cream, with choco­late and cher­ries, with apples and cin­na­mon. Such a vari­ety will def­i­nite­ly appeal to young guests.

For the cold sea­son, warm snacks will be rel­e­vant, such as hot sand­wich­es with ham and cheese or pita bread with eggs, cheese and herbs. You can also get by with sim­pler, but no less tasty snacks strung on skers, - a very light and con­ve­nient dish that does not require much effort in cook­ing. An olive, a cube of cheese and a slice of lemon will com­ple­ment each oth­er per­fect­ly in this dish.

This part of the menu may seem sim­ple, but it also needs to be tak­en respon­si­bly. It is impor­tant to choose the right drink for each dish. Best for snacks cold lemon­ade or juice and for dessert tea or cof­fee.

In win­ter, it is bet­ter to give pref­er­ence to hot drinks such as tea, cof­fee or cocoa. After skat­ing or a fun snow­ball fight, it will be nice to warm up with a mug of cocoa with marsh­mal­lows, accord­ing to the tra­di­tion of the Nordic coun­tries.

Of course, adult­hood is not com­plete with­out alco­hol, but it is bet­ter to choose not too strong drinks. Also, in a young com­pa­ny there may be peo­ple who do not drink alco­hol. It is worth think­ing about this in advance and dis­cussing alter­na­tive options for soft drinks.

Dessert should be not only tasty, but also beau­ti­ful. That’s why it is unac­cept­able to buy a cake in the near­est super­mar­ket - com­ing of age hap­pens only once in a life­time, it is bet­ter to order a dessert from pro­fes­sion­al con­fec­tion­ers. Recent­ly, mir­ror cakes have come into fash­ion — a very unusu­al, bright and tasty table dec­o­ra­tion that can meet all the per­son­al wish­es of the cus­tomer. You can always go the proven way and order a cake dec­o­ra­tion — fig­urines in the theme of the par­ty.

Undoubt­ed­ly, a birth­day cake with can­dles is an oblig­a­tory high­light of the pro­gram at any birth­day, but you can not lim­it your­self to it. Fruit slices and ice cream with top­ping will be an excel­lent addi­tion to the main dessert, and will also help to keep the girls’ fig­ures.

The sce­nario for the anniver­sary of 18 years is the most inter­est­ing part of orga­niz­ing the hol­i­day, pro­vid­ed that it pro­vides for the inter­ests and hob­bies of the birth­day man and guests. Every­one has favorite films, series, com­put­er games, maybe some­one is fond of end­less space, or vice ver­sa — the bols of the earth.

Based on the hob­bies of a friend­ly com­pa­ny, you can cre­ate the most inter­est­ing hol­i­day sce­nar­ios.

• Space. A great idea for cel­e­brat­ing the eigh­teenth birth­day of a young man who is fas­ci­nat­ed by the end­less star­ry sky. This sce­nario will imme­di­ate­ly solve the issue of dec­o­rat­ing the room, and the con­tests with the use of a tele­scope will per­fect­ly com­ple­ment the inter­est­ing pas­time.
• Cre­ation. For a com­pa­ny of girls who love needle­work or fine arts, the script can be built on cre­ativ­i­ty. Cre­at­ing small sou­venirs or col­or­ing a pic­ture by num­bers in a race will be inter­est­ing and fun com­pe­ti­tions at a hol­i­day ded­i­cat­ed to art.
• TV series. Favorite series, of course, is a com­mon top­ic of con­ver­sa­tion among friends. If you build a script for the hol­i­day based on the plot of the pop­u­lar TV series of recent years, then the hol­i­day will def­i­nite­ly go off with a bang.
• Child­hood. For each per­son, this day may be the last in life when you can feel like a child. Build­ing a script around child­hood and the grad­ual mat­u­ra­tion of the birth­day per­son is undoubt­ed­ly a good idea.
