Turning 18 is a truly monumental occasion that shouldn’t pass unnoticed. But how do you throw an unforgettable 18th birthday party that meets both you and your child’s expectations? At Henry Bonas, we know what makes an Instagram-worthy party, thanks to our years of experience hosting show-stopping events for all age groups.
In this blog, we share our top 5 unforgettable 18th birthday party ideas that are sure to wow any guest, young or old!
What could be more exciting for an 18-year-old than hosting their own exclusive VIP club night? We work with some of the most exclusive venues in London – for one night only, you get to have control of the guest list, as well as the playlist! Featuring sets from iconic bands and in-demand DJs, mixologists mixing cult cocktails and plenty of chill-out areas, it’s the perfect theme for young party goers who can’t wait to hit the dancefloor.
Bring the beach to your own back garden with a tropical 18th birthday party theme. Our birthday party planners can transport your guests to the golden sands of the Bahamas with tropical-themed decor, exotic cocktails, global street food, and laid-back entertainment.
Harness those tropical vibes with pink flamingo lawn decorations, swaying palm trees and coconut shell table decorations.. Serve up signature cocktails from a tiki bar (piña coladas and tequila sunrises are firm favourites!) before dancing the night away to a funky Caribbean calypso band, guaranteed to get guests of all ages swaying their hips!
Everyone loves a circus, no matter what age you are, so why not celebrate stepping into adulthood with a big top-themed birthday bash? With a little help and guidance from our expert team of party planners, we’ll transform your venue into a show-stopping circus ground, complete with professional aerial dancers, fairground food trucks, and classic funfair rides to recreate all the fun of the circus.
Traditional circus performers such as jugglers, stilt walkers and acrobats are sure to go down a treat, as will fairground rides such as Ferris wheels and helter skelters. When it comes to food, you can’t go wrong with hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and candy floss to feed hungry mouths.
If period drama is more your thing, Henry Bonas can help you throw a sophisticated vintage tea party that would be worthy of a mention in a Jane Austen novel. Think dainty china, exquisite linen and quintessential afternoon tea treats.
This type of party is best held in a garden marquee or sophisticated countryside venue with lots of outdoor space. Take Sezincote House or Ragley Hall in the Cotswolds, for example. Our luxury party planners can transform the venue into a traditional Regency-style tea party, complete with a classic string quartet to serenade your guests all afternoon long.
