How to celebrate a guy's 18th birthday?
Every teenager is looking forward to his 18th birthday. This is an important landmark date, suggesting the transition from adolescence to adulthood. While the guy was little, his parents decided for him how the birthday would be held. But it is on the age of majority that the birthday man himself must decide how the celebration should be arranged. And the best gift from parents will be the spiritual and financial support of their son. The main thing is to jointly resolve all issues regarding the upcoming festivities and choose the most interesting option for an enchanting and unforgettable holiday.
Choosing and decorating the venue for the holiday
First of all, parents need to understand that it is impractical to arrange a coming-of-age holiday at home. The teenager wants to "hang out" with friends without adult supervision. Alternatively, you can have a small holiday get-together with your family with your parents and other relatives during the daytime, before the party begins. To do this, you can slightly decorate the room, but not overdo it. A few balls and glowing garlands will be enough.
Choosing a venue for a festive event in honor of a guy's 18th birthday is not an easy task. It is important to take into account the preferences of the teenager, his wishes.
If the birthday person wants to celebrate his majority in a cafe, parents will need to rent a hall in a suitable establishment.
When decorating a place for a celebration, it is necessary to build on the preferences of the birthday person. Thematic options will be useless. It is unlikely that the young man and his friends will want to dress up in pirate costumes.Club party-goers will like the arrangement of the chosen place with a dance floor, light music and a bar with soft drinks. Book lovers and moviegoers will be happy to get into the room, designed according to the prototype of their favorite work. It is extremely important for a birthday extreme that the room embodies home comfort, warmth and tranquility.
In winter
The coming-of-age festival in winter is best set up in a warm atmosphere with the option to go outside for a snowball fight 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 cottage outside. Guests will not pay attention to the facade of the building.
Inside the room, you can decorate with balls, install a photo zone, hang a glowing ball or hang garlands.
Another interesting option for celebrating a guy's coming of age in winter is to send the birthday boy with friends to the ski base. During the day, the hero of the occasion and his guests will enjoy skiing and snowboarding from the mountain peaks, and in the evening on a rented bus they will be returned to the city, to the place of the party. For example, in an indoor water park. Remarkably, there is no need to decorate it. All the decorations installed 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 recreation area.
In the spring
Spring is a great time of the year to celebrate a guy's coming of age. And there are much more places for the event than in winter. At the age of majority, a teenager can go to play paintball or airsoft, go karting or visit a shooting range. The establishment itself does not imply the introduction of additional decorations in honor of the holiday.
But if you rent a room, you can install additional decorative elements, for example, put a photo zone, hang posters on the walls, make arches from balls.
Summer
Summer offers a wide variety of places to celebrate your majority. However, guys often opt for beach parties. Parents need to rent a recreation area, invite a professional DJ, work out the festive table menu and order drinks. In this case, decorating is not a guest house, but the beach itself. You can hang glowing garlands, arrange metal barrels around the perimeter for making a fire, set up a photo zone to capture such a memorable event.
In autumn
In the fall, it is not so easy to find a place to host an event dedicated to the guy's coming of age. But if you search, you will be able to pick up some interesting places. For example, you can send a birthday boy with friends on an interesting quest around the abandoned places of the city. During the day, the team solves riddles created by the organizing parents or employees of the event agency, and in the evening they come to a cafe where their fun continues. With this method of celebration, it is important to decorate a rented room in a cafe in the style of a quest.
Best script ideas
All parents who have a son wish to celebrate his majority at the highest level. To date, many cool, funny and interesting scenarios have been developed to celebrate the guy's 18th birthday in an unusual way. However, the young men propose to celebrate their coming of age without any clear stereotype.
The hip-hop script will look very interesting. First, guests will be able to choose the appropriate outfit. Secondly, the theme of the party, its musical accompaniment will correspond to the general tastes of the invited guests.
Freestyle and graffiti contests are suitable as an entertainment program.
Other scenarios of different musical directions are being prepared according to a similar scheme. It is much more difficult if the birthday person still prefers a particular book or film. Here parents will have to work out a lot of questions regarding the preparation of the script, menu, entertainment program. The place of the birthday should fully correspond to the intended theme.
Games
Entertainment held at a guy's coming-of-age party should combine a teenage and adult context.
"The head is in action"
Several guys are blindfolded. On the site, 5 or 6 girls line up in a row. The task of the guys, without using their hands, is to guess by name the beauties standing in front of them. The winner is the one who guesses the most of the girls correctly.
"Lightning-fast dressing up"
Guests are divided into pairs. Participants are blindfolded. Each pair is given a bag with clothes. The task of the participants is to change their clothes the fastest. In this case, the guy should wear a woman's outfit, and the girl should wear a man's.
Contests
Coming of age contests can be very different.
"Acting skills"
Several guests are called to the stage. Everyone chooses a piece of paper where this or that role is written from one of the famous works. It is best if the roles are paired. Guests will not only have to understand who the participants are performing, but also determine their pair. For example, Kai and Gerda, Edward and Bella, Romeo and Juliet. It will be much more fun when the guy gets the role of Juliet.
"Understand me"
One of the guests should fill his mouth with marshmallows and try to tell his friend the task. For example, "dance a lezginka". The friend, in turn, must correctly understand that he was asked and fulfill it. The winner will be the person who correctly recognizes and completes the task.
Preparing a quest
On the 18th birthday of their son, parents can organize a quest called "basement spirit". The quest game starts when all the guests have gathered. The presenter appears, greets the birthday man and guests, and reports that the team is underground at a depth of 30 m. An important document is hidden somewhere within the walls, but it is under the protection of an immortal spirit. The task of the team is to find a document, familiarize yourself with its contents in order to solve the riddle of this place. The first test begins immediately.
The moderator offers to solve several logical problems. He puts an example from matches in which a mistake was made in front of the team. You need to rearrange one match to get the correct example. Having solved the problem, the team moves on and gets the next test.
There are 4 numbered glasses in front of the team. Nearby is a map showing the location of this quest and 4 different paths. It is necessary to find a bottle of liquid in the room. Pour a little liquid from a bottle into each glass and follow the path where the reaction will occur. For example, the reaction took place in order book number 3. This means that you should go along the 3rd path on the map.
Then the team gets into a room filled with balloons. Puzzles are hidden inside the 1st of the balls. The task of the team is to burst the balls without hands, find the puzzle, assemble it, read the hint hidden on the back of the picture.
There should be about 15 similar tasks, puzzles and puzzles. As a result, the team must get into the room that 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 a map is painted where the treasure is hidden - a gift for the birthday boy. It remains only to follow the map to help the hero of the occasion get his present.
Holiday menu
When preparing the celebration, special attention should be paid to the festive menu. It is preferable to order meat and fruit canapes as a snack. As a main course, you can grill a kebab or make a barbecue. As for drinks, parents naturally buy non-alcoholic products. But do not deceive yourself, alcohol is always present at such a holiday.And it is better to let the parents buy good alcoholic drinks than teenagers buy a cheap surrogate in an underground workshop. For dessert, light cakes and fruits are suitable.
