My DD17 3 main friendships are in a bit of a complicated place right now, and 18 is coming up. Its made a bit difficult since on her birthday they all finish at different times, and she ends at 4 so quite late to do anything.Shes not sure if shes going to celebrate with her friends or not but just in case any ideas (probably on the weekend) that are a bit different than the usual shopping/dessert place we are in manchester. Not too expensive as present is already expensive

Well we took one of ours out for a meal - just the 4 of us and then they met friends
another one has a big family party in a private club ( not a night club )
one a a extended family - meal
And another one gardens party - family and friends
Theres many combination , but make sure she does something nice - it’s a lovely milestone Grin
