Welcome to your 20s! This age is a perfect in-between age to get to know who you are and who you want to be, so why not celebrate with style? Yes, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, but who says you can’t treat yourself to a safe celebration?

Here is a list of the best 20th birthday ideas to help you celebrate the beginning of your 20’s, no matter how strict your quarantine is.

20th Birthday Outfit Ideas

1. Loungewear

2. Headband or Crown

That is an important 20th birthday idea question and distinction. Depending on your celebration, a headband can give off a more relaxed vibe, and a crown can be a classic and fancy accessory. I suggest the crown for an elegant or formal party and the headband for any other situation.

The headband is an example of the level of sparkle it will need to highlight your big day. Take it as inspiration as you search for the level of glimmer that works for you.

3. Birthday Sash

23. Series Binging

If you can’t have an in-person movie night, take it virtually and binge-watch a short series or season of a series. If you don’t want to watch anything new, go through your favorite shows and only watch the best episodes.

My siblings and I constantly watched shows together, but being separated made it difficult. For my brother’s birthday, we were able to watch his favorite movies and it was almost like nothing changed. Brainstorm some quick shows or movie trilogies and comment on them the entire time.

24. Zoom Party
