In all cultures, rites of passage linked to moments in the life of a human being are important: one of the most significant is certainly the one that marks the transition from being a child to becoming an adult.
Many primitive civilizations celebrated this moment with actual rites that lasted entire days and included, in addition to celebrations, tests of courage and symbolic actions that demonstrated the achieved maturity of the person celebrating.
Even in our culture, in the past the entry into society of children from good families was celebrated, that is, the moment in which a boy became an adult and was introduced into the circle of adults. In some traditionalist and conservative social environments, entry into society or debut in society is still a fundamental celebration in a boy's life. Much more often, however, today we tend to organize a memorable birthday party for those who are about to turn 18.
On the other hand, it is an important moment that brings to a person responsibility and freedom at the same time that he did not have before: the right to vote, the responsibility for his own actions, the ability to freely decide about his own future without going through the permission and protection of his parents. , being able to drive a car.
Often, it also accompanies the end of high school and the choice of what we will be when we grow up: which faculty to attend, in case we are interested in continuing our studies and embarking on a career for which a specialization is needed. Or entering the world of work, if you do not decide to proceed with other studies. In short, children's games end, but "adult games" begin.
A moment that deserves to be celebrated
Nothing strange, therefore, if the eighteen-year-old and his family want to celebrate this milestone in a spectacular way and organize a party that will be remembered forever by friends, relatives and the birthday boy.
But how do you organize an amazing eighteenth?
First of all, it is necessary where you want to celebrate your 18th birthday. The location must be suitable for the season: if you celebrate in summer or spring, outdoor locations are also suitable, but make sure when booking the location that there is an indoor place that has the capacity to accommodate your guests in case the time turns for the worse. Otherwise, you risk ruining and ruining the party in case of rain or wind. Food must not be missing. To have a rich buffet, suited to your needs, you can, for example, contact a catering company. There are efficient ones, which provide both cooking and service. The buffet for an adult party is perfect standing, also because the guests will want to be together, move, talk, dance. For this last fun activity you can hire a DJ. You can ask a friend of yours, who is good at "playing records", or a professional to come to your party to entertain you and your friends. To decide who will be the "party DJ", start from the type of music you and your friends like, have a preliminary conversation with the DJ and express your tastes, make a playlist of your favorite songs and make sure he chooses them among those to wear for the evening.
A souvenir, party favors for the eighteenth
There is no question of a party if the guests leave empty-handed, that is, without a memory of the experience they lived. Hire a photographer to take photos or a friend who is good at capturing the interesting moments of the evening. Make sure of the quality of the photos and the equipment with which you will take them, even if it is a friend of yours, or you risk having bad photos. For this, a professional would be better. Prepare a sweet combined with a card, or an object, that reminds you of the day and of you.
How to create a dream confetti for an eighteenth
It is important to choose the right confetti and a way to present them to your guests that is captivating and reflects you and is in line with your eighteenth birthday party.
Shabby Chic Confetti
Suitable especially for a girl, romantic and refined, it is the shabby chic confetti. The sugared almonds can have a delicate color and, in addition to being presented for tasting on the sugared almonds table, they can be distributed in shabby chic wedding favors: suitable materials are light fabrics, such as organza, and if you want to combine a souvenir with them, you can create a elegant paper origami in the shape of a heron. For this occasion, white or pink sugared almonds are suitable.
Country Confetti
Suitable for those who love nature and animals, it can be used for both men and women, changing colors according to your taste and way of presenting the sugared almonds. We, personally, advise you to accompany a sugared almond in this style with objects made, for example, of wood, which immediately bring the mind back to the countryside and country style. The color of the confetti, in this case, can be blue, yellow and green, for example, because it recalls the colors of nature: sky, wheat and grass.
The classic eighteenth green candy
The classic color of 18 years is traditionally green. If you are traditionalists, you can use this solution. Starting from confetti, you could even transform your party into a green themed party. By the way, green is also the color of luck and wealth, so it would also be a good way to wish you a prosperous life in front of all your friends and relatives.
Colorful confetti
For the more modern and witty, it will be possible to choose assorted sugared almonds, in different colours, your favourites. Also in this case, there are many themes that can be combined with this choice: from nerdy themes, with the use of reproductions of super heroes or colored Lego bricks; to more fun themes, perhaps using colored balloons.
Which flavors to choose for confetti?
The colors are OK, but even inside not all the sugared almonds are the same. If yesterday there were two choices: chocolate dragees or almond dragees. Today tastes are far more varied. As you can see, the choice is vast, so all you have to do is indulge yourself!
