This is an occasion which offers extra opportunity for your teenagers to celebrate with friends, and family. Planning your teen birthday party can be a very challenging job, because it is almost impossible to please their ever changing style. Here are a few teen birthday party ideas & tips.
Teen Birthday Party Invitations:
Teenage is an age where the little ones feel that they are quiet grown up to play kiddie games and send out kiddish invitations. So instead of sending out Invitations printed on cards why not Send out on line invitations with eye catching templates. Almost all teens are connected in some way or another, so it certainly makes sense the invites go out where they spend the most time. Here you need to take care that the teen party invitation is very lively, attractive and as per the age of the invitees.
Teen Birthday Party Themes:
- Hollywood Theme: Hollywood theme that is often a joy for teen parties, especially among teen girls is the idea of an awards show. This includes the Red Carpet, plenty of photo ops, and a dress code that is quite formal (this should be noted in the invitations). You can use glittery star nameplates to indicate seating, have the “Oscar Room” decorated elegantly with a white table cloth and fine china, and have cameras flashing throughout the event to record important moments. Serve sparkling cider in champagne flutes and screen the latest in Hollywood teen movies.
- The Detective Theme: Here, teenagers engage in a Search and Riddle theme. This is a take on a Murder in a Party consisting of a game asking “Who am I?” and the second a longer one because it is a Treasure Hunt. To prepare for a Detective theme, all you need to do is be inspired by those “who done it” murder mysteries. Once you have a story going on then you can incorporate all these ideas and let the teen’s join in by asking them to solve the mystery. It’s not scary. It’s not scary. It wouldn’t give the teenagers any nightmare after playing the Detective game. In fact, it’s fun when played in the evening because the darkness adds more to the excitement.
- Black Light Dance Party. Decorate the room in neon and encourage everyone to wear neon and white so they will glow in the black light. Pump in lots of great dance songs and serve brightly colored drinks with neon straws. Hand out day glow necklaces and bracelets too.
- Spa Party. Who doesn’t love a chance to relax and have some pampering? Have a party filled with manis, pedis, facials and make up. Often times cosmetic reps will participate in these parties because it gives them an opportunity to demonstrate their beauty products.
- Casino Night. Fill the party room with game tables encourage guests to dress to impress. No real money should be exchanged! Play with chips that can be “cashed” in at the end of the party for prizes. Games like poker, texas hold ‘em, roulette, and black jack are fun.
- Fortune Teller Party. Tarot cards, crystal balls, horoscopes can be a fun and intriguing way to spend a birthday party. Collect all your party guests’ birthdays so you can print out horoscopes for each sign.
Teen Birthday Party Games
If you are not having a particular theme but want to entertain the masses:
- Xbox 36o, Kinect, or Wii. There are so many fun group games you can choose from. Rock Band, Lips, Dance Revolution the list goes on. You can create tournament style rounds of these games and play all night.
- Lights, Camera, Action: Have a video camera or two and have the teen’s make their own videos. It could be a new music video for a favorite song, a commercial for some item, a short skit. Provide them with some starter ideas, some costumes and/or props. If you want something different than what you have around your house, thrift shops are a good source (except near Halloween). You can even take the teens to a thrift store or dollar store and give them each a few bucks to buy whatever they think they’ll need. And don’t forget the popcorn!
