This October I turned 21.
I decided that I would throw a party for myself and close friends. I had to save for a couple of months, but I ended up throwing a pretty decent party!
I decorated the house in pink and purple decorations, got a friend to DJ, provided alcoholic slushies (from Caribbean Cocktails in head rush and fruit tingle), a rainbow of vodka jelly shots, pink champagne punch, and food. With the help of Aaron, Vanessa, and Mitch - we decorated and set up the party. I have to admit I have never been so excited for a party before, but it was an amazing night. I also have to mention that my nan came over two days before to help me clean the house - and several people mentioned how spotless everything was! Thanks Nan!
Mum and Dad bought me a pink princess cake, and Dad made a heartfelt and humorous speech from both Mum and himself (it was lovely). Aaron and Steph also made wonderful speeches. Due to my fear of public speaking (even in front of friends) I did not make a speech, and instead thanked everyone for coming.
The music and atmosphere was great and I can honestly say everyone (myself included) had a great time! It was really strange to have the focus on me, because I rarely like being in the spotlight, and usually put others before myself - I guess I just feel more comfortable that way. However, I embraced the attention and I feel that I deserved it. It was also really nice to be surrounded by friends, and to know that I am as special to them as they are to me.
Below are a couple of photos from the night :)
