- Outdoor picnic and recreation parties are memorable 18th-birthday themes that everyone can enjoy. Activities can include serving a packed picnic lunch followed by hikes, bike rides, touch football, volley ball, Frisbee throwing or walks. The outdoor party can wrap up with a barbecue dinner of hot dogs or hamburgers with plenty of chips and dips, fruit, salad, slaw and raw vegetables to help guarantee that everyone's taste preferences are covered. Water bottles or jugs should be available and recommended to guests throughout the day. Prep for this kind of party includes packing coolers with plenty of ice to keep water and sodas cool and the meats and any dairy-based dips at safe temperatures. Packing plenty of picnic blankets and outdoor game materials such as balls or nets is also important.
- A ragtime jazz and flapper costume party can be a fun and fitting theme for an 18th-birthday celebration, as it allows for adult flirty and party-themed dress. According to Catalogs.com, gangster suits with slicked-back hair or top hats are appropriate costumes for guys and flapper dresses with ragtime hair clips or bands and feather boas are suitable attire for girls. Costumes can either be created at home or rented from local costume-rental shops. Themed music, beverages and treats, such as jazz music, virgin champagne punch served in vintage short-stemmed champagne glassware and a variety of indulgences including fudge, foil-wrapped chocolates and banana splits can also make the costume party memorable for guests and the birthday person.
- Coming-of-age festivities can include theme parties, week-long activities or gift ideas. Theme parties can involve elegant settings with evening wear, club-like atmospheres with fun virgin beverages or stereotypical adult settings with workplace props or decorations and vocational costume dress. Coming-of-age activities can include family home-video watching, taking commemorative trips, joining adult community groups or volunteer opportunities or giving landmark presents throughout the week. Landmark gift ideas can include keepsake jewelry such as a watch, spa days or expense-paid trips with friends, scrapbooks or filled photo albums, or even a later curfew.
- This landmark theme can be a memorable and fun way to celebrate an 18th birthday. During the birthday celebration, family members and longtime friends are invited to visit craft tables and create personalized scrapbook pages that display their relationship's growth with the birthday person over the years and into adulthood. You can request guests to bring old photos or other memorabilia via the celebration invitation. Putting the scrapbook pages together at the end of the celebration and presenting it to the birthday person can be unforgettable.
