I was 14 years old when my mom told me she was pregnant with my sister. I remember it like it was yesterday.  She finally had her 21st birthday last week and I’m pretty sure it could not have taken any longer for the day to come! I guess that’s what happens when you have a sister 14 years younger than you! 

21st Birthday Celebration

I always knew her 21st birthday would be my responsibility, I’ve waited so long for this day that I wanted to make it perfect. Turning 21 is a momentous occasion and should be celebrated. After all, you want to do something that you will remember for years to come. 

The “Venue” 

My sister lives at home and she knew that she didn’t want to have to come back to her house after going out all night. I started researching hotels and condos in our area. Brighton Towers at Kingston Resorts here in Myrtle Beach was what we decided on. The place is amazing, we have stayed at The Embassy Suites which is part of the resort as well and absolutely loved it. I will go into more detail about the resort on another post but the condo was absolutely gorgeous! 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, balcony, and a full kitchen. 

We didn’t really “party” here but this condo gave us the perfect opportunity to set up all the decorations, added a nice ambiance, and had big enough rooms for all of us! Stay tuned for a full blog post about this gorgeous Myrtle Beach resort!

Decorations 

You only turn 21 once, so of course, I had to make it extra special. Party Heroes here in Myrtle Beach carries the best selection of party supplies and the most fun decorations for a party that will impress everyone. 

Whether going out, or having an evening in, Party Heroes will dress up the event with 21st birthday decorations and birthday supplies such as balloons, banners, and hanging decorations. Let’s not forget the balloons from Party Heroes were the perfect prop for her birthday photoshoot as well!

I found You Had Me At Crafts on Etsy and she did NOT disappoint! She pretty much completed the decorations with personalized 21st birthday cups, confetti, water bottle labels, shot glass banners, and even a button for the birthday girl! If you are planning a party (not just a 21st) I highly recommend checking out all her decorations! Personalizing everything was the perfect touch!

Hailey, I have loved watching you grow into an incredible woman and am SO glad your not that annoying little girl trying to interrupt all my sleepovers in high school!  I hope you had the best 21st birthday!

Also, remember no matter what you decide to do for your 21st birthday, make sure to do it responsibly. Be smart and safe with your decisions but remember to have fun. You only turn 21 once so make it a special day!
