How do I organize myself to prepare for my child's 18th birthday?
Your child's 18th birthday is an important milestone, for him/her as well as for you. No more birthday snacks with friends during which we played musical chairs or Collin Maillard, where we destroyed a pinata and ate candy by the dozen. For his 18th birthday, you want to go all out! Nightclub atmosphere, we invite all our friends, we leave the house to them (obviously!) and we don't get involved (well ok a little bit anyway...)!

The essential decorations for a successful 18th birthday!
In terms of decoration, even if your child is no longer your little one, there are still basics to have and not to forget. For abirthday 18 years, you absolutely need number 1 and 8 balloons and a number 18 candle, that's the base. Next, you'll need a birthday garland and balloons (lots of balloons!!). You can inflate them with helium so that they float to the ceiling, or spread them on the ground like a balloon pool. At 18, we're big for sure, but we still love balloons!
For the table, the simplest thing is to provide a18th birthday buffet. Prepare a large table covered with a pretty tablecloth and small decorations, have a large quantity of disposable tableware and offer appetizers and pizzas to delight everyone. Then, it’s time for music with your favorite playlist 🎵
