Tween Birthday Party

by Sukaina
(Brampton, Ontario, Canada)

I'm really stressed about my party.

Some things I'd like help with are:

  • I want my party to be unique but it has to be inexpensive.
  • I'm in my pre-teen years so i want some thing that will wow all my friends. I will probably invite 10 to 13 people.
  • I also want theme ideas.

    The party will take place at my house, and I'm a girly girl, but some of my friends aren't. Any ideas please? I need HELP!


    Tween Birthday Party Response:

    Besides a pirate party or a spa party, which I have referenced several times, some other theme ideas that are fun (depending on what you like) are:

    A Superstar Party

    Have guests come as their favorite celebrities. Have a lip sync or acting contest (depending on whether you ask your guests to come as singers or actors or either).

    Have a red carpet competition and have each guest walk down an entry path while one or more take photos. Decide who looks or acts the most like their favorite star.

    You could cut out stars to use as your invitations or even make invitation labels to cover old cds.

    A karaoke machine would be fun if you have access to one. Otherwise, lip syncing can be hilarious.

    Try a game of pictionary or charades by using favorite movie titles or song titles.

    There are alot of fun drama games available online also.

    Serve finger foods and decorate with movie star pics, cds, etc.


    A Carnival Party

    Create and set up several carnival type booths and hand out tickets for each win that your guests can later use to purchase prizes or throw into a draw for some prizes. I've seen the tickets at the dollar store.

    Borrow a couple of tricycles and have a tricycle race.

    Great snacks for carnival parties are popcorn, hot dogs, ice cream cones.

    Get some face painting makeup and paint each other's faces. Have a competition for the best face even.

    For a craft you could make masks. Have feathers, glitter, glue, paper face masks, and other craft materials set out for creating the masks. You can find one mask pattern on my mardi gras page.

    Carnivals are bright and colorful so decorate with colorful streamers, balloons, paper plates and cups.


    An Olympic Party

    Decide on 2-4 countries and invite some of your guests to come as one country, others to come as another country, etc.

    Print out flags for each of the countries represented. Try and find the anthems for each of the countries you chose online or at the library.

    Set up Olympic type competitions or crazy variations. Have medals to award the winners at the end of the competitions. If you can't find them at a good price make them out of bristol board. You can create some fun awards that way.

    Try and serve a snack from each country you choose.

    Decorate with streamers and flags. Be sure to use the colors in the flags represented by the countries you chose.

    Mall Madness Scavenger Hunt
    by: Rose,12- almost 13

    I had all my friends come over and we drove them to the mall... then I told them the Rules: Follow the list, do not skip around on the list. You will be disqualified if we find you don?t do this. This applies for all but Clue10, which can be done whenever. Stay together as a group. The first group back to the food court wins a prize. Please give my mom/dad or me the bag and the change. One bag per group (as opposed to one per person). Save your receipts!!!! Someone must have a phone with a camera for this group!

    Here were 2 of the clues (I had 11 in total, for each 2 groups):
    Go to the store that will forever have an obnoxious yellow bag. Buy a bag under 1.60$. Use this to carry around all your other stuff. (Forever21)

    I heart the color pink, so take a picture of someone in your group kissing a pink dog.

    It will be so much fun!

    You can pick whatever theme you like, but some other traditional and fun games are Ballon Pop, where everyone gets a partner, and one balloon between the pair, and they have to face their backs to each other, link arms, and try to pop the balloon with their backs. It's actually really hard.

    You can also ty the Nail Polish Song. It's like Hot Potato, but you pass around Nail Polish, and everytime the song stops, whoever has the nail polish has to paint one of their nails. Plus, you can switch up the colours to be funky.

    You can also stick to games like Charades, Freeze Dance, and Truth or Dare, because you don't really need a theme for any of them. I'm having a party soon too, but I'm not going to use a theme. I just want to have fun on my B-Day.

    Hope this helps.
    Birthday party ideas for 12 - 15
    by: Katherine, 13 years old

    It may be expensive but I have done some of these for my birthdays:

    1) Rent a hotel nearby a beach and stay the night there with your friends adn the next day have some fun in the sun and go to the beach.

    2) Invite some friends over and take a limo to Down Town Toronto and go to a nice restaurant and walk around and even shop a little if you want to.

    3) Have some friends over early in the day and go tree treking with them, which is also known as ziplining. You can go to places like horseshoe to do this!
