If you are planning a 18th birthday party and your gran and
grandad are coming, they may not like the music played by
your DJ mate who just plays hardcore dance tracks. On the
other hand if the DJ plays 1970's disco music all night your
friends will be reaching for their coats and heading for the
exit.
With a teenagers party like an 18th birthday this can be
a big problem, because on a Saturday night most 18 year olds
will have a choice between two or three parties to go to.
Teenagers will text each other during a party to compare which
one is the best. If your party is slow to get going and the
DJ is playing tracks to please just the older family members
the news will spread and the teenagers present may arrange
to meet up at a different party. A party that gets of to a
slow start may sometimes never really have a chance to get
going.
This combination of ages and expectations for the night can
make this type of teenagers party quite tricky for the DJ
to select the right music mix. If it is a teenagers party
with lots of family members coming we ask for a playlist of
favourite music from the birthday person which we play along
with other classic tracks that we know the older generations
will love. For most parties we suggest a list of no more than
20 tracks is about right, however if its a teenagers party
where most of the audience is of the same age, a longer and
more defined music requests list is more appropriate. This
is because teenagers will tend to know what they like and
hate anything else.
If you are planning a party for teenagers such as a 16th
birthday party it is often quite difficult to find a venue
that will host the event. You may wish to consider an alternative
like a back garden
marquee hire. Although almost grown up the average 16
year old will probably think they can handle more alcohol
than they actually can. So you may need to keep a look out
for special bottles of coke smuggled in by the party guests.
