Can you believe this day has come? Your daughter who once fell asleep on your chest is now turning twenty one and finally becoming a fully fledged adult. If you’re planning to host a 21st birthday celebration for her, you might be struggling to come up with ideas. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are some awesome 21st birthday party ideas for your daughter that she’s going to love.

1. Customized Birthday Invites
A 21st birthday is a very special occasion, as such it’s important that you spend a little time making it feel that way. Ordering some customized cute party invitations she can hand out to her friends is going to make her feel really special. Be sure to get her involved with this part because you want something she’s going to love and maybe even keep as a special memento of her party. I personally think it’s really fun to come up with a theme idea together, so that you can make sure you’re on the same page with her vision for her party. This website has an easy-to-use invite generator to help you craft beautiful 21st invitations.

2. Consider a Shot Cake
Instead of a traditional cake, why not use a cake tower as a place to display jelly shots. This is such a fun way to show that she’s come of drinking age and will be the talk of the party. Consider doing different colored shots and having each layer a different flavor. If you’d still like a traditional candle for her to blow out, you can put a cupcake on the top with a candle to keep up the birthday tradition with a 21st party flare to it.

3. Don’t Forget the Goody Bags
Just because her friends are 21 doesn’t mean they’re not interested in goody bags! Traditionally given at children’s parties, you can make goody bags perfect for your daughter’s friends by making a few changes. Why not make them hangover survival kits? You can pop in some Tylenol, candies and chocolates, lip balm, and either a Gatorade or a Starbucks card for a drink if your budget allows. This is such a fun extra to do at her party that I’m sure will go down so well.

4. Don’t Forget the Decorations
As I suggest above, it’s a good idea to sit down with your daughter and come up with a theme together. While you can go all out on the theme, it could even be a few colors that you want to base the party around. Be sure to get decorations that match the theme to brighten up the celebration space. A cheap way to make a party look really special is by doing a balloon garland. They’re relatively inexpensive and make a great impression!

Your daughter turning 21 is probably a very emotional time for you. I’m sure you want to celebrate this special milestone as much as she does, so hopefully these 21st birthday party ideas for your daughter help you get excited about planning her special party.
