You'll have some difficulty booking an 18th party on licensed premises.

It is generally assumed that at an eighteenth birthday bash, roughly half the attendees will be under 18. (I doubt that, unless by some remote chance, you are the last in your group of friends to turn 18.)

It would be a nightmare for the licensee, even if he insisted that everyone show ID every time they bought a drink - it would be so difficult to check that alcohol was not being bought for, and consumed by under 18's. The effort and potential risk to his license would not make it worthwhile.

It is for the same reason that a licensing justice would never grant a licensee a 'Special Order of Exemption' or 'extension' for an 18th party.

Why not just say it's for a 21st and use plain birthday balloons rather than ones emblazened with 18....
