Express yourself when handing out gifts to your guests during your 18th birthday party. A debut is a kind of transition from girlhood to womanhood and should be aptly celebrated. Give your female friends birthday party favors that are elegantly wrapped to show your appreciation. Attach a thank you tag on each that you have personalized for that added special touch.

A debut is celebrated like the sweet 16 or Quinceanera traditions. Usually, 18 candles by girl friends and 18 flowers by male friends are given to the celebrator. A cotillion or waltz dance is also presented in a formal celebration. Debut is commonly practiced in countries like the US, UK, Australia, and Latin America.
