Is 21st a big birthday?

[Rebbecia1234]

We made a big fuss of DS when he was 18. Is 21st also a "Big birthday"?

Yes 🎉🎉🎉
Dd had a party for her 21st.

21st has always been the big birthday. Keys to the house and all that jazz traditionally.

Yes, the 21st birthday is considered the big one!

Definitely! 18, 21, 30 and each decade after.

We've done both 18 & 21 for dds

Yes

I’m glad someone else asked.
Me and DH were speaking about this recently. DDs 18th was marked with a big do, we weren’t sure about how important 21 was

I think most families would either make a 'thing' of 18th or 21st.

I think these days it tends to be more 18th, but of course a lot of our current 19 yr olds didn't get the chance to do anything for their 18ths, so I suspect there will be a lot more 21sts in the next couple of years.

Plus, very few halls will take a booking for an 18th anymore, so that also pushes people more to having a party for 21st.
