Top Features to Look for in an 18th Birthday Party Venue
The birthday party venue is the party's lifeline; a better way to put it is that the event space sets the scene for a fun celebration. It should be somewhere you and your guests can enjoy new experiences and create new memories.
Does the venue have a minimum spend amount? Most event spaces have a minimum spend requirement; you must spend a certain sum to secure a space for your special occasion. It usually covers food and drinks, which increases if you want to book the venue on a high-demand date like the weekend evening or summer. So, find out if the restaurant, nightclub, or bar you want to rent has such a requirement.
Take up a party package. A party package varies from one event space to the next, usually covering food, decorations, and entertainment. It's helpful to have a point person involved from start to finish, overseeing vendors, venue decoration, and tear-down processes.
Are you covered if the weather changes? Whether you are hosting the party indoors or outside, choose a venue that covers your bases. An outdoor space should have access to an indoor area and vice versa. It's also helpful if an outdoor party space provides furniture and a sound system.
Organizing an 18th Birthday Party
Giggster has a variety of 18th birthday party venues around London and beyond. Once you've found a birthday locale, use these helpful tips and ideas to organize a legendary celebration:
Set the Scene – From the moment the guest of honour and their friends walk into the space to when they leave, it should be an experience. Renting a venue that matches your style is helpful, but you can decorate the space according to your theme.
Create a Menu – The location can influence your menu; a lounge may offer speciality drinks, while a restaurant may serve a tailored menu filled with your favourite food. Above all, find out if you can bring a cake or if the venue can prepare it.
Have an Itinerary – Have a plan so guests know what to expect and won't worry about getting where they should be on time. Enjoy a night of dining, dancing, and drinking; be sure the central party location allows you to play music or has a DJ booth.
Plan for Setbacks – The last thing you want to imagine is that things could go wrong. Get liability protection to guard your birthday party venue against injuries or cancellations.
18th Birthday Party Expenses to Plan For
The Giggster app can help you find a birthday party venue within your budget, but there's much more to do to save money.
Look at the downtown area and the outskirts, too.
Downtown party spots are typically more expensive; consider other neighbourhoods. There are plenty of inexpensive options available, so broaden your search. Giggster also provides vast birthday party venues beyond London.
Save on menu costs.
Perhaps all you need for a bar-hopping birthday is some drinks and light snacks. A multi-course meal works well for a sit-down dinner, while finger food is acceptable for a cocktail party. Similar to food, drinks can be costly. Bring your drinks or ask visitors to bring their preferred libations if the venue for the celebration permits it.
Go for a party package with catering and more.
If the birthday party venue has an all-inclusive package, consider accepting it. The in-house team will handle catering, entertainment, and everything else, saving you money and time.
