21st Birthdays Sydney: Venues and themes!

My 21st birthday party feels like a LIFE time ago now. I remember being so excited and planning everything down to a T.

For anyone planning their 21st birthday party, this is such an exciting time, a night you will remember forever! A time for your family and friends to share embarrassing stories (I had more than I’d care to admit).

One thing I wish I had organised was a really cool theme to go along with the night. My 21st was a simple cocktail style, along with a hot pink, black and white colour palette. I also wish I had booked a function venue (much less work!)

Check out our list of of 21st birthday party themes:

1. Tux’s & Tiaras: What to wear: Guys in a tux and now tie, ladies is glamorous (large) dresses, big hair, spray tan – the whole shebang! Toddlers and Tiaras for some, um inspiration!  What to serve: A range of cocktails – perhaps a signature cocktail on arrival for your guests. Glittery cupcakes and a HUGE “21st” cake topper.

2. Brains vs Beauties: What to wear: Boys: slick your hair down, get your four eyes on and your nerdiest t-shirt for this ultimate geek fest. Oh, and that bow tie you never thought you’d wear…this is your chance. Girls: step into a gorgeous pair of heels and glam yourself up!

3. Superheroes: A superhero theme doesn’t just have to be for kids! Everyone can get dressed up as their favourite superhero from when you were a child. Serve “Kryptonite” cocktails and event have a “Gothan City” backdrop. The options are endless.

4. Heaven & Hell Think red and white EVERYWHERE.

5. Casino Night: A great theme which you can do SO MUCH with! You could even hire a Roulette Dealer for the night. There’s always the option to go very Casino Royale… So many options!

6. Meme Party: I admit I LOVE  a good meme, so a meme party would be very fun! Google the most famous memes to give your guests an idea of what to come as (obsessive girlfriend, Grumpy Cat, Nerdy Kevin etc)

7. Army/Military: Green, brown and camouflage everywhere. Girls can come in sexy army gear and plenty of war paint! Berlap, hessian bags and grass.

8. Sports Icons: Dead or alive – this can be a lot of fun! Perhaps Tiger Woods with girls hanging off each arm, Lance Armstrong with his bike, Serena Williams and a tennis racket

9. Air Hostesses and Pilots: Signs with “Mile High Club” or “Captain Lounge, trolleys with drinks and of course everyone dressed up! 

10. Barbie and Ken: Pink everywhere! Tanned skin. 

11. Burlesque: Think Dita Von Teese or Pussycat Dolls, Stilettos, fishnets and corsets! Sexy cocktails and delectable foods.

12. Celebrities Dress as your fave Celeb, roll out the red carpet and dazzle!
