ok...So I'm getting ready to turn 18...August 14th to be exact and I still don't know what I'm going to do for my birthday...My parents wont let me have like a party but I want to do something big. I just don't know what to do...a lot of my friends keep asking and I just don't have anything to tell them...they're all...when is it? where is it? what are we doing? and I just don't have any answers! Please help..I could use some major party ideas
Additional info, added Monday July 30 2007, 6:52 pm: ok so yes a club is a good idea...but most of my friends are younger than me...they're 17 and the 18+ and 21+ wont let them in...my friends and I go out to eat all the time...I just really want something different that we can all do together..

Water parks are a lot of fun too! If you wanted, maybe go get yourself a tatto or piercing (because you're eighteen and you don't need parental permission! YAY!).
If you want to do something a little less expensive, have a day at the beach with your friends. Go swimming, fishing, roller blading, bike riding, have a picninc, etc. There are lots of things you can do at the beach. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]

Turning 18 is a huge birthday since you'll be graduating soon [if you haven't already] & it'll be a good year.
Like the person said below, you could go to a local club. You won't be able to drink [obviously], but it's still fun to dance. Some clubs offer 18+ people, so you'll still be able to get in. Make sure you check the places though. If some of your friends are already 18, ask them if they know places that do that.
Dinner could be fun too. Go somewhere nice like Olive Garden, Applebee's or Friday's. Those are three generally nice places that people can agree on. If that doesn't seem like something you'd wanna do, and you're looking for a another approach, try go-karting.
It may seem "kiddish," but it's fun & everyone likes to go-kart. If that isn't an option you're looking for, try taking some of your girls to a spa for a day. If there are no spas near you, go & get your nails done & get yourself pampered.
If that doesn't work out, maybe ask for some money so you can have a little shopping spree for school or whatever. I'm not really good on major party ideas, but I hope I helped anyways.
DancinCutie08 answered Monday July 30 2007, 3:23 pm: well I turn 18 in Dec so I've started to think about it a little bit.. What I am planning on doing is getting a bunch of people together and going downtown to a local club (most over 21 clubs let in people that are 18 you just have to wear special wrist bands and stuff.. just call and double check ahead of time) or get a group of people and go out to dinner.. I went to the hardrock for my 17th. just make sure they know you aren't paying for them all to eat and stuff [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
