18th birthday: what should I do?

Question

I'm 18 next month and my parents have said I can't have a party as such (due a bad 16th party). Instead they've said I can invite 15 of my friends around for a three-course meal with champagne reception. My neighbour is going to cook the meal (he's very good) and my sister and her friend are going to serve it etc. I want to do this but it's very hard to limit to 15... so I need something else to include more people. The problem is only a couple of my friends are already 18. Any ideas for something that includes lots of people but is fun, cheap and slightly original?

Thanks x

Answer 1

Have a day time doo for others - have afternoon tea at yours and then people will leave after leaving you the 15 that have been invited to the meal.

Answer 2

18th suck eh.. i have this same problem. i can go to clubs, but my friends will have to wait outside.

see if you can hire a room out in a hotel nearby, and you can have some nibbles there some drinks and make it fancy dress, with a DJ and things. that could be fun.

Sounds nice. You could have your meal and arrange to meet your other friends later.I'm sure there's plenty of places you can go in a group, maybe 10 pin bowling or something similar. Whatever you do make it something you enjoy, your only 18 once so have fun and make it a memorable occasion. Happy birthday when it comes.
