How to throw a Love Island-themed 18th birthday party

For the last seven years, Love Island has been watched by millions around the world and has even seen several iterations in Australia and the US. The latest season saw 2.4 million people tune in for the first episode which proves just how popular the reality TV show has become.

If this is one of your favourite shows at the minute and you have your 18th birthday coming up, why not consider throwing a Love Island-themed party for it? Your 18th birthday is one to remember and this will certainly ensure that happens.

To set up a proper Love Island party, it will take plenty of planning to get it looking like the famous villa and maybe you’ll need to brush up on your Love Island lingo too. Here’s everything you’ll need to throw a Love Island-themed 18th birthday party.

Invitations

Time to invite your islanders. Create some invitations using the iconic love island writing and colour schemes and find out where everyone’s head is at. Can they make it? Will they come coupled up? Either way, you’ll need to know how many people can make it so you can prepare.

Décor

Next, you need to create a party that emulates the Love Island villa to bring this event to life. Some of the Love Island party must-haves include inflatable palm trees, an inflatable pool, neon signs and maybe one of the signature water bottles for your guests to enjoy a drink out of.

Personalised items

To make your guests feel emersed in the experience, you should give everyone personalised items that they can enjoy throughout the party. These could be cups with their names on them or badges with iconic catchphrases.

If your guests are also Love Island fans, then they can buy into the personalisation too and bring you a personalised birthday card for your 18th birthday.

Games and challenges

Time to crack on with the games and challenges that we’ve been accustomed to seeing on Love Island over the years. These challenges are sure to bring fun and enjoyment for everyone – just make sure mum and dad aren’t around to see some of the games. Here are some you could try at your Love Island-themed 18th birthday party:

• Snog, marry, pie
• Truth or dare
• Pass the card from one mouth to another

As you can see, throwing a party and giving our guests the ultimate islander experience is simple when you follow these steps. It will be fun, flirty and certainly one to remember - you may even cause a few people to couple up during the party.
