The road to planning a 21st birthday celebration: the venue

It is hard to plan a birthday celebration. There are so many considerations and concerns.

I wanted the celebration to be small and with my close friends. However, the number grew to almost 30. No, I am not Miss Popular. It's just hard to not invite people because we hang out in a clump. This is especially so for friends made in CCAs. How would you explain to those who are not invited when they see the photos?

With the number, it is hard to hold it at my own home. My mum is almost insisting that I move it out to a Condo function room or a chalet. She says she is going to pay. But this is going to be deducted from my birthday present. I WANT MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT. Who cares if the guests are going to feel squeezed?

My family is making this celebration into a party, when it is not. I dont want fancy places or awesome food. I just want people to be there while I cut my cake.

Anyhow, given that my mama is going to pay for my life for the next 2 years, I think I better start looking for a venue.

I can hold it at a condo function room.. but I somehow feel that it would defeat the purpose of a small celebration. It would create expectations which I have no intentions of fulfilling.
