This post rounds up 20th birthday ideas for celebrating your big day.

Birthday parties are always a good time, but what makes them even more special is when you hit a certain number… like 20! While 21 always gets all the buzz, I think your 20th birthday deserves just as much attention.

Turning 20 is a huge milestone in your life because you are no longer a teenager. You have officially entered a whole new decade! This means that you need to make sure that you have a memorable and wonderful day, complete with a birthday party.

Whether you’re a birthday party pro or you’ve never thrown one in your life, don’t stress. I’ll tell you everything you need to know to have a carefree, great time.

Oh, and if you aren’t turning 20 this year, don’t worry; we have plenty more birthday party ideas that might suit you better.
