10 years ago when I was 18 it was more-less like that: dress up, bring a boyfriend/girlfriend (or come alone - no big deal), and get ready for binge drinking. I mean - HEAVY drinking. I was on three "18 birthday parties" in my high-school and I have never seen so many drunk girls in my life ;-). I got used to the boys - I was one of them.

I don't think much changed since then.

Forgot to add - tell your parents where you are but dont' ask them to pick you up too early (one time we had my friend's parents at the party - they showed up at 10 pm since they "thought" the party would be over by midnight....

Oh, and make sure there's plenty of good food. Like pierogi.

thanks guys... but I know all this stuff :P I mean more specifically CELEBRATIONS... particular versions of how its done... u know like any specific followings? I dont drink... so no hope in seeing me drunk :P but.... yeah since Im in Poland my parents will know where I am cause Im only going to go walking around with people I know ... or family lol

and yeah and any specific food... like pierogi .... thats a must! But I guess... any particular sweets... candy servings besides krowki... etc...?

I don't think there are any specific celebrations -- maybe other than dacing "polonez" at the beginning of the ceremony (or was it in a primary school.///?). Then a dinner and "free ride". I think it will be hard for you to "get the climate" if you don't drink though...:).

lol... well my climate has been following hinduism since my dad is hindu.... so I can go wild and crazy without the need of alcohol :P However free rides are only permitted, if I choose to permit, to a particular person, not all party guests...

therefore I should state that is the the one reason why i dont drink.... just so u know why i even brought that up coz i dont like to talk about religion... its a private thing

Have everybody come over and bring presents. Hang up some baloons, make punch, apettizers, snacks, some good music, some games, and have a good time.
But make sure you got them pierogis!!!

thanks

It will be less formal and "astonishing" than you might have been used to living in the US. Unfortunately, less than more young people in Poland actually know how to have fun without alcohol. Not to mention smoking cigarettes (especially by the girls).

I don't drink either. Nor do I smoke. There are ways to have fun without that. Let them learn how.

They are too young to learn by their experience :*

Nice username...IndianPolishgirl...I doubt you can even speak Polish...

plenty of bigos and polish sausage... and bucket loads of spiked drinks (just to make you unwind)

ej ej no ja umiem po polsku ale nie tak dobrze... dlaczego? rozumiem lepy niz pisacz umiem!

By the way... "Does it matter"... does it matter, if I can speak in Polish or not? Whats it to u? I souldn't need to justify my abilities and I dont like the assumptions of strangers. Expand on the reason why u asked.

Really? well regardless of my age, I am already in college and have always been a bright *youngster* with many abilities.... so I think being more mature for your age does not always have to do with your own personal experience...

I'm tired and I was going to say something but I won't because it would have not made any sense anyway. Whatever.....
Dobranoc.
bolo, did you warm up the bed?

How!!!

forgot quote... How!!

I had sex on my 18th worked out good for me..lol

... good for u then.... thanks for sharing...

I hope you have a nice 18th birthday..

Happy 18th Birthday IPG for when ever it may be

2 more weeks for mine , but you can add several more years to your age for my mine

Anyway whatever you choose have a good one

Actually 18th birthday in poland looks like normal party. Usualy people rent a club and invite all the people they know.
One thing which people always do is giving 18 smacks on the bottom to person who celebrate birthday.
They use a belt for this.
Its very strong tradition
Sometimes when u r a girl they throw u into the air 18 times.
And probably u will have a lot of champagne on yourself
I think thats all and sorry for my mistakes.
