An 18th is often the first party planned around the birthday person's own friends, while parents still have a say on the venue, the guest list and how the night ends. Settle those three things first and most other choices follow.
Summer evenings suit a lawn or garden, but heat and the school holidays shape the dates, and winter's rain moves most 18ths into a function room.
Options Perth families weigh for an 18th:
A DJ who doubles as MC keeps speeches short and the dance floor busy. See birthday party venues, DJs and photobooths for more choice.
Ask about security and door checks, the latest finish time, whether the room is private, and what the per-person or room hire figure includes. It also helps to know who on staff will be in charge on the night. For an outdoor 18th at a botanic park in the Perth Hills, also settle early how every guest will get home afterwards.
A silent disco kit, from $170, lets the dancing carry on with headphones instead of speakers. Letting the neighbours know the date and finish time ahead also goes a long way.
Summer and the school holidays are the busy stretch for function rooms and DJs, so confirm the venue and DJ before sending invitations. Winter dates are usually easier to secure.
Riverside function packages start from $24 per person and suburban bistro packages from $45 per person. A hotel function room can be hired from $125 room hire, with food arranged separately.
Several cater for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal guests across canapés, buffets and sit-down menus. Send the guest numbers and dietary list early so the menu can be planned around them.
