Hi,
Well lucky me got to have my 21st in hospital!
Mum and dad gave me some money that I put towards a cruise that i did at the end of that year!

I received some beautiful gifts from family, including a jewllery box, and a $200 gold coin, as well as a bottle of Port that my dad bought the day that I was born.

I think do whatever you want to do. It is your day. there is no rule to say that you have to have a big party. I am not a "throw a party" person, and am happier to go to a resturant with people that I really want to spend the day with.
