List of Themes for Debut Party

Themes for 18th Birthday

Some ideas here are also mentioned on this page > Debut Themes

1. Fairy

Fairy Theme

Fairy is always a colorful and magical choice for eighteenth birthday celebration. You can opt to have wings or just require long dresses.

2. J-Pop
Same with K-Pop below.  Of course, you can have a more J-Pop looking theme if you can have japanese decorations on the venue like japanese lanterns, origami, zen garden, koi

For the food, you can include ramen or noodles, tempura, and sushi

3. K-Pop
Philippines was not spared from Korean culture invasion. Filipinos are fond of koreanovelas and most likely teenagers will welcome the idea of looking like their favorite Korean characters.

Kimchi !! You should never miss serving Kimchi  on your debut

4. Pirate

Fans of One Piece anime or Pirates of Carribean will be excited on this theme!
Decorate your venue with treasure chest, ropes.

Wear pirate hats!
Have drinks on big mugs! ( Not necessariy alcoholic)

5. Vampire
Vampire theme will put black colors on your event. It will look formal but at the same time it will appear dull or dead. You can make the place more alive by wearing red dresses and decorating the place with res decors.

I'll go for Red wine ! (and Red Ribbon Cakes?) haha

6. Venetian
Time to look elegant!

Debut Invitation, Debut Card Design

Have you heard of the song 'So Close' ? It was used in the movie 'Enchanted'.

It is a good song for waltz or formal dance.

Another good song is 'Beautiful Girl'.
The opening part is my favorite.
..
Beautiful girl, wherever you are
I knew when I saw you, you had opened the door
I knew that I'd love again after a long, long while
I'd love again
..

If you want a sweet love song that is also nice to hear in a formal debut celebration, I suggest the song 'Forevermore'.  For more songs, enjoy browsing in Songs for Debut

When I continued my search for a good song for debut, I discovered Dance in My dreams by Tamia
I like the part in the song mentioning this

..
Tomorrow will be mine
Today is ours
I will never let go
Until time unwinds
Today I have just arrived
..

These are the kind of words that I'm looking for a song for 18th birthday. Perfect!

Another choice is a song that we heard on High School Musical. Im refering to Can I have this Dance?  It is good to use for 18 roses dance.

For me, this is the best rhyme and inspirational line of the song

..
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
..

Another stunning line for girls who put so much preparation is from the song Wonderful Tonight
..
And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
..


 For a livelier song, check out Am I The Same Girl by Swing Out Sisters

Most of the debutante wants to have a dance with his father. My suggestion is to have
Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. The lyrics is about a daughter requesting to practice a dance with his father because she will be attending a ball.
