Turning 21 is a big deal. It’s the first taste of freedom and adulthood. When I turned 21, I remember I got my first Prius as a birthday gift from my father. Though I don’t drive it anymore, I still kept it in my garage as it was my first gift of adulthood. Also, I still remember that my friends organized a small surprise party.
I am trying to say that turning 21 is a very precious time in everybody’s life. And gifting a little something or showing that you are there for them means a lot to them. It becomes more special when it comes to your daughter turning 21. You want to pour all the love and plan a big surprise for her. Finding a 21st birthday gift and planning a 21st birthday party is laborious than it seems. That’s why I have come up with this write-up to help you with party themes for daughter’s 21st birthday.
Party themes that your daughter will love
1. Harry Potter Theme
I know you will say Harry Potter is for teenagers. But, trust me, you will be surprised to see how young adults go gaga over Harry Potter. You can bring a Harry Potter-themed cake for her birthday. You can buy a replica of the iconic sorting hat from the series. Also, you can buy the complete series of Harry Potter books. In addition, harry Potter-themed wall-paint in her room would be a great surprise. Lastly, ask her friends to dress up as their favorite characters.
2. Festival Theme
Bring the music, color, and free-spirited nature to your daughter’s festivals. Pick your favorite concert or bring in elements of Lollapalooza, Coachella, Bluesfest, Burning Man, or Splendour in the Grass. There’s no limit to the creative dressing-ups this theme affords, from bucket hats and knee-high socks to rainbow fanny packs and eye glitter. In this pandemic situation, invite her friends over and have a blast.
3. Masquerade
Add a little mystery to your child’s 21st birthday by having all the guests wear masquerade masks. If the budget is tight, you should go for this idea as it doesn’t cost you a penny for the theme. This is an easy theme to get creative with. Have the invitees dress formally or even plan an exciting murder mystery game. If you want a fantastic DIY birthday activity for your child and the guests, buy some blank decorative masks that your guests can decorate their masks with rhinestones and sharpies.
4. Book Club Theme
Books aren’t yet out of style. If your daughter loves to read books, she might enjoy a book club-themed party. The best thing about this theme is it won’t cost you a fortune. Buy some books for her and rent books for the evening. Decorate your living room as a library and have guests over. Tell them to participate in fun literature games such as puzzles and quizzes.
5. The Roaring 20’s
Who doesn’t love the roaring 20’s, right? Go back to the 1920s for your daughter’s 21st birthday! Throw a huge party incorporated with the popular Gatsby elements, turn your home into a speakeasy, and ask your guests to come to the party dressed in 1920s party suits. Now that you can buy alcohol for your child, you can turn the party into one worthy of The Great Gatsby and earn the ‘cool parent’ badge from your child’s friends.
Conclusion
I have listed down the best ideas for party themes for the daughter’s 21st birthday. However, there are many more ideas to give a chance. You can take her for a long drive, book tickets for a concert, or let her have a relaxing day at the spa. This might be the chance you will get to rekindle your love for your child. Also, always remember that your child has grown up, so give her space, be respectful, and treat her like an adult. She will love to have a compassionate friend by their side as a parent. Have a blast on her birthday!
