18th birthday ideas: Gather your teen's friends at the local mall for a scavenger hunt. Follow with pizza and cake at home, or treat the gang to a movie, laser tag excursion, or a round of makeovers or pedicures.

21st birthday ideas: Break away from the traditional night of bar-hopping by celebrating at a wine tasting instead. Or, opt for a quiet celebration at home with birthday cheesecake and ice cream, fresh fruit, crème brulee, or chocolate mousse, served with a bottle of Canadian Ice White.

30th birthday ideas: Celebrate the arrival of a new decade by hosting a surprise party for the guest of honor. Keep the celebration family-friendly so little ones can enjoy the fun, too.

40th birthday ideas: Host an Over the Hill celebration, complete with black armbands, grim reaper decorations, and a tombstone cake topped with a vulture.

50th birthday ideas: Throw a Fabulous 50s Party or sock-hop, complete with a diner-style party menu of burgers and fries, birthday cake, and a sundae bar.

60th birthday ideas: With retirement on the horizon, give the guest of honor a sample of the travels to come by throwing a Hawaiian Luau celebration. Treat the guests to leis and grass skirts, and perfect your Mai Tai pour.

70th birthday ideas: Pay homage to the celebrant with a dinner party, complete with a This is Your Life presentation.

80th birthday ideas: Honor the octogenarian with a birthday luncheon. Decorate in a Roaring 20s motif, and post trivia and fun facts from that nostalgic decade. Have a poster or card on hand so guests can share a special memory of the guest of honor.

90th birthday ideas: Host a birthday brunch, complete with fresh flowers, streamers, and balloons. Present the guest of honor with a scrapbook of family photos and personalized cards.

100th birthday ideas: For a 100th birthday celebration, mark the occasion with a birthday breakfast. Present the guest of honor with 100 balloons or 100 flowers, and make a donation to a local charity in his or her honor.

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate a milestone birthday, the guest of honor will be touched by your efforts. Enjoy sharing each new decade with the special person in your life.
