Every birthday is worth celebrating, we totally get that, but some birthdays are extra special and therefore require a little extra celebration! These milestone birthdays often signify a new chapter in your life. From your 18th, when you officially become an adult, to your 60th, when you enter a new decade of your life, these moments are ones to treasure and deserve to be celebrated and what better way than with a party!
21st Birthday
Turning 21 often signifies independence and the beginning of adulthood, for example in the UK, when you turn 21, you can vote, marry without parental consent and enter into contracts. 21st birthday parties are all about getting dressed up and having a good time with your friends and family. If you’re planning a 21st birthday party we recommend:
- Fun, themed décor / colour scheme
- Informal buffet food
- Plenty of Prosecco or Champagne!
- An over the top cake
- A backdrop for plenty of photos
- DJ & disco
30th
Your 30th birthday is a milestone as it’s a new chapter in your adult life. Perhaps this new decade will see you marry your soulmate, perhaps you’ll be given the promotion at work that you’ve been working so hard for, perhaps you’ll change careers and discover your passions. It’s a new decade that’s yours to do whatever you wish!
If you’re planning a 30th birthday party we recommend:
- Delicious food; whether that’s 3-courses, sharing food, or nibbles
- Fun theme; what about 13 going on 30 after the film or a nostalgic 90s throwback
- Curated cocktails
- Personalisation
40th
Turning 40 is a time for reflection and gratitude. To be grateful for everything that you have accomplished whilst also looking ahead to the future with positivity and openness and that certainly needs to be celebrated. If you’re planning a 40th birthday party we recommend:
- Elegant décor maybe following a theme if you wish
- A party band for plenty of dancing
- Sophisticated dining with plenty of wine
- Dessert tables
- Photo booth to capture all the fun!
50th
The halfway point to a century! And you’re getting closer to retirement (something a lot of us dream about) and that’s certainly a reason to celebrate! Don’t forget, even though you’re getting older, it doesn’t mean you have to have a boring party! If you’re planning a 60th birthday party we recommend:
- Plenty of photographs from over the years sharing all your happy memories
- Your choice of catering; you could make it fun with street food, or go elegant with a 3-course sit down meal
- A photo opportunity
- Cake – and lots of it!
60th
Did you know in the UK, we sometimes call a 60th birthday, a diamond jubilee? This milestone symbolises the culmination of a lifetime of experience and the beginning of a new chapter. It is culturally significant as it marks a complete zodiac cycle. If you’re planning a 60th birthday party we recommend:
- A delicious cake in the shape of the number 60
- Entertainment that fits your personality; whether that’s a band or a tribute act that you love
- Tasty catering, we often see 3-course meals for this milestone, or even an afternoon tea
- Classy décor; for example silver and black
70th
This birthday symbolises wisdom, experience and accomplishments. It’s a time for reflection and to deepen your relationships with your loved ones. If you’re planning a 70th birthday party we recommend:
- A beautiful dinner party
- Arrival drinks with canapes followed by a delicious 4-course meal
- Party band with a DJ afterwards
- Extravagant décor in your chosen colour scheme
