You’re only going to celebrate this milestone birthday once so you might as well make the most of it and utilize every minute. That said, why not celebrate from midnight ‘till midnight?

From the moment the clock strikes 00:01 until 00:00 the following night, it’s officially your birthday so spend the time doing absolutely anything and everything you want. With so much time on your hands, you’ll find you can do loads of things, so don’t be restricted by the clock.

Funds allowing, one of the best ways to celebrate your 21st birthday is by jetting off abroad.

Imagine spending your millstone birthday soaking up the sun while indulging in all you can eat food and drinks? Or how about hitting the ski slopes for the day while basking in the winter sun?

The choice is entirely yours but few birthdays are more memorable than those spent in a foreign land while surrounded by the people you love most.

#3 Have a Throwback Party

A truly quirky way to celebrate your 21st is to have a throwback party. Pick your favorite birthday party from your childhood – be it bowling, a petting zoo, or a roller-rink – and try to recreate the day. Keep all your childhood party foods like pizza and iced gems but perhaps sub the fizzy drinks for something a little more adult.

To make the day extra fun, be sure to throw in some party bags and play some classic games like pin the tail on the donkey and musical chairs.

#4 Relax

I know, I know, that doesn’t seem like a very exciting way to celebrate such a milestone birthday, right? Wrong! Relaxing doesn’t have to be boring. You could book into a luxury spa with a few friends, be pampered at your local salon, or even simply organize a good old-fashioned slumber party where you and your friends can watch movies, tell stories, and just unwind.
