21st birthday next Saturday; completely broke. Any ideas?!
Answers: This months rent, bills and (very meager) grocery budget aside, I have exactly ￡11.22 to work with and I want it to be fun. Any ideas? I think my friends are expecting this big, crazy 21st bash (and I'd like that too) but I have no money! Help!!
What is great about turning 21 is everyone wants to get you drunk for free. So go out and have fun!
if its your birthday surely they should organise something for you?
bring a bottle party ;-)
Try a potluck picnic in the park.
Go to the local pub, and annouce its your birthday, and provided you brits are as friendly as advertised people should offer to buy you a pint or a shot like we do here in the states, you may have a dry spell from time to time but if you take a loud friend that constantly reminds people that its your 21st people should buy you atleast a few drinks
Tell them you are so broke & see what kind of friends you have. If they come throigh for you they are true friends. If not,,,,,,,,you know!
i think for 21st birthdays the people going should pitch in money for your drinks for the night.
ask your family to organise it?
Agree w/ others bring a bottle party, or if you going out your friends should be making sure your getting trashed w/ the tab on them. On my 21st b day, and a whole week after I didn't pay for one drink or one shot.
Make sure you let everyone know it's your birthday even complete strangers They might buy you a drink :)
why don't you plan it ahead of your brithdaynot this month but next month
Just do whatever it is you had in mind anyway, surely your friends can chip in?
I'd do a pot luck dinner at your place.
Do BYOB at your house and just get sodas for them to mix with and some appertizers.
They might suggest to go out afterwards and then you'll be straight. You can go dancing and don't have to buy drinks to have fun dancing at night.
tell your friends you have money troubles right now and that you don't have anything major planned. if they are your friends they should understand.
why don't you have a potluck...everyone brings their fave dish
Potluck! Everyone bring a dish.
I can't add any more ideas than the ones given here, but happy birthday for next saturday! (mines on sunday!)
Ask everyone to provide the munchies and the booze. Be up front that your skint.
Then afterwards - save in a special pot like mad. Be strict with yourself.
This time next year - return the pleasure.
Happy Birthday and good luck.....................x
Ask your mates to bring a bottle or two!! And a item of food such as saus roll, sandwiches, ect what a ball!!
bring a plate of food party
tell your friends to bring a bottle and some nibbles, we went to a party recently and we took our own drink and our friend just made a huge pot of chilli and some crusty bread and it went down a treat after a few drinks :)
Why doesn't you're sisters/brothers/parents do one for you? How do you know they might already be preparing one for you.
If you can't afford it, you cant afford it, theres nothing you can do. Get your mates to come round to yours & tell them to bring a bottle, that should save you some cash, but you shouldn't be paying for you're own booze on you're 21st. Enjoy Yourself & Happy 21st!!!
just make a finger buffet and a couple bottles of sparkling white wine put some CDs on and have a whale of a time
