Fancy dress themed parties can be a fun way to ring in your 21st birthday.

Here are 10 awesome ideas for themes to make your twenty first birthday one to remember.

There are many more fantastic 21st birthday party ideas, limited only by your imagination. And remember, have a fun night!

Last nights 21st birthday party was awesome! … well, from what you remember. But now your head is rattling with the slightest movements.

Hangovers are not much fun, but before you mutter the words, “I am never drinking again”, here are a few hangover cures that will have you back on your feet in no time!

1) Sleep. If you have the luxury of time up your sleeve, go back to bed and sleep it off! Otherwise, read on…

2) Water. Hangovers make you dehydrated, so drinking plenty of water will help speed up your recovery. You could also have drinks that contain plenty of electrolytes, such as Gatorade or Powerade.

3) Vitamin B. Drinking depletes your body of vitamin B, so it makes sense to put it back it right? You can grab a packet of Berocca which is loaded with vitamin B & C to aid you in your recovery.

4) Junk Food. Nothing settles your tummy more than greasy fast food. Some bacon and eggs will have you feeling better …. and if not, at least you will have something in your stomach to throw up!

5) Painkillers / Antacids. Grab a Panadol or two to help with the pain and temperature. Antacids may help you also if you have sore stomach, by protecting the stomach lining. Always seek the advise of health care professionals first. Some over the counter medicines can make the matter worse!

6) Keep drinking! While studies show this course of action to work, the higher you climb, the further you will fall. This will only temporarily solve your problem …. and possibly turn you into an alcoholic!

Remember the pain you feel, so you can take steps to avoid this happening to you in the future. You may want to check out our previous post – Party responsibly on your 21st birthday.

21st Birthday‘s can be a lot of fun, but it is also important to party responsibly! Take a few steps to insure your 21st birthday party doesn’t get out of hand.

Make sure you have plenty of soft drinks near the alcoholic drinks so your guests have a clear choice and they can have a break from alcoholic beverages if they choose.

Have the option of light beer on offer. So guest who are driving are not tempted to chance drinking full strength beer.

Have some activities that will slow down your guest’s drinking, such as karaoke, pool, darts or basically anything that requires them to put their drink down, even if it is only momentarily.

Have someone keep an eye on security to make sure you don’t have any gate crashers. With today’s social media technology, word of a birthday party can spread pretty quickly!

Have your 21st birthday in a function room that is equipped to deal with the responsible serving of alcohol. This may help prevent any damages in your house and making life long enemies of your neighbours.

21st birthday parties are meant to be fun, so remember to enjoy yourself, but do it in moderation.
