Here are some suggestions that would make your baby's (don't they just hate that term?) 18th birthday party a blast:

1. Picnic/Scrapbook 18th Birthday Party theme

Your daughter/son would be highly grateful if you would provide an 18th birthday party that would be fun, and at the same time, something that would provide sweet memories, and what a good way to provide lasting memories - you could suggest your child's guests to sign and create a scrapbook for the celebrant.

Most teenagers love scrapbooking and they would surely be occupied with this great idea. This would be more fun if the party would be held outdoors where everyone could just sprawl on a blanket provided for on the grassy grounds, or on a picnic table on the park. The great thing about this 18th birthday party theme is that, you could save on decors and all those other expensive party stuff.

2. The Easy 18th Birthday Party theme

If you are a member of a certain religious organization, you could actually ask for the social hall in your chapel to be used for your teenager's 18th birthday party. The place would be free of charge and all you would have to worry about are food and CD's to keep the teenagers busy.

3. Hippie 18th Birthday Party theme

Go retro by using this theme. Let all the guests dress up as hippies and let them go home with peace sign pendants and beaded necklaces.

4. Diva 18th Birthday Party theme

Make the celebrant feel like a star by inviting guests that would dress up like they are going to an awards' night. Your daughter would surely be amazed.

There are so many ways of remembering that 18th year in a person's life. A party with the perfect 18th birthday party theme would be a good aspect to begin with. And with the loving parents' presence, she would surely love every moment of that wonderful 18th birthday party.
