18th Birthday Debut: A Party Planning Guide

Time flies by so fast and before you know it, there are only a few months left before your young one finally turns the page from being a teenager to becoming a full-fledged woman. Unlike her previous birthday parties, her 18th year debut marks a new era. So, it is only fitting for it to be her most spectacular and grandiose one yet!

At this stage, she is no longer the little kid she used to be. She now has more say as to what she does and does not want in a bash. She already has her own preference and style when it comes to planning her dream party.

No worries, mom and dad! To help you plan that ultimate debut for your young lady, we have put together here a list of tips that you should remember and how you can make the most out of your vacation ownership:

1.) Book the right venue.

Eight to ten months from the big day, you should already start inquiring about possible venues so she will have more options to choose from. Doing so will also give you a bigger chance of booking her chosen events venue. Bear in mind that aside from the size and overall look of the place, you should also consider a location that is accessible for your guests. If most of the visitors will be playing an important role in the event, this step will help avoid any delays and necessary changes in the program.

So, will it be Chardonnay Events Hall By Astoria, our elegant events space in Captain Henry P. Javier, Pasig City, one of our function rooms in Astoria Plaza, or Mangrove Conference and Convention Center By Astoria, our modern events area in Astoria Palawan?

Yes, it is true that in special times like this, a membership with Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club, Inc., the leading vacation club in the Philippines! As an AVLCI member, you are entitled to a special 10% discount on our banquet halls and other exclusive perks. This means more savings! Plus, unlike other events places that are either being run by timeshare scams or are just not ideal in terms of quality, all our facilities are maintained in tip-top shape! Feel free to have an ocular visit right after lending your ear to our 90-minute initial presentation. Aside from great discounts, you will also get to enjoy one amazing Astoria Plaza promo after another! Being a member surely is rewarding!

 

 

2.) Choose the perfect theme.

Keep in mind that the party is all about her. She must pick a theme that suits her interest and fashion style. Is she fond of Taylor Swift? Does she like Hollywood movies like Barbie? Are sports her cup of tea? Can she not go a day without solving puzzles and mysteries? These are some of the things that you must take into consideration when thinking of a theme for her debut. Having a well-chosen theme can give you a clear direction in preparing all the necessary things before the big day comes. No need to worry about the 18 roses, 18 candles, and fresh floral centerpieces. Just pick a debut package with us, and we will have those things ready for you!

 

 

3.) Go for exquisite food options.

In any kind of event, the reception will always be the most anticipated part for most guests. Truly, it never fails to bring happiness and gather families and friends together. Good news! If you book one of our debut packages, you get to enjoy our menu sampling and food tasting prior to the event. Our talented Astoria chefs can prepare an assortment of visually striking appetizers, delicious and filling main courses, and delectable desserts to end your daughter’s debut on a sweet note.

 

 

4.) Have proper documentation.

Special memories are worth keeping! Take the hassle out of trying to film everything yourself by hiring a team of professional photographers and videographers to document the special day. You may also give your guests lovely photos to take home as souvenirs by setting up a photobooth, complete with fun props like hats and masks, in the area. This way, you will not miss a precious moment with your debutante, and you will be able to catch up with your set of guests. You can also rest knowing that the photos and videos will be of high quality!
