Ideas for a Teenager's Birthday Party
The thing about teenage parties is that you have to keep the teenager in mind before you go about the planning. Keep his or likes and dislikes in mind when you plan the party. Arrange for appropriate party games so that no one gets bored. Invite all the friends of the birthday boy or girl and, needless to say, prepare some delicious food. Well then, let's get to some good ideas for teen birthday parties, beginning right from the first teen year, shall we?
13th Birthday Party
A good way to welcome your new teenager into this wonderful phase of life is by using this party idea. The theme can be Texas cowboy or cowgirl. If it's an all-girls party then you can transform one room into a desert salon or a pub. Send out invites that the girls have to be dressed in cowgirl costumes. Serve them iced teas in beer mugs and have some fun cowgirl games. If it's an all-boys party, you can have the same arrangements, but in addition, you can hand them paint-ball guns and have them run amok shooting each other!
14th Birthday Party
You can have a talent show for a 14 year old's birthday party. In the invitations that you send out to the friends, ask them all to come dressed as a particular character or in something that they can use to showcase a specific talent that they have. Have a TV style talent show with the birthday boy or girl as the guest of honor. Give a prize to the winner of the talent show!
15th Birthday Party
Fifteen year old girls are all about their looks. So, if your daughter is turning 15, pick a few of her BFFs and treat them to an indulgent spa session. Have them all assemble at your house under the pretext of a simple birthday party, and surprise them all by driving them to a spa and leave them there for an entire day! The male equivalent to this idea can be a sports match. Get some really good seats for a game and do the same surprise thing with the boys. You like?
16th Birthday Party
There are tons of sweet sixteen ideas that you can choose from, to make your child's 16th birthday a hit. Here are a couple that might work. If it's a girl, then have her all dressed up, and arrange for a limo to come and pick her up. Before it arrives at your home, make sure it picks up all her girlfriends from their homes as well. When she exits the door and makes her way to the car, let there be a red carpet laid out. Have the limo take her and her friends for a fun day at a grand hotel. If it's a 16 year old boy, then you can have a gorgeous sports car pick him up and take him and his friends to the nearest adventure resort where they can go berserk with all the games and activities.
17th Birthday Party
An interesting and fun idea for a 17 year old's birthday party is a scavenger hunt. Tell all the invitees to come dressed in casual clothes. Prepare an elaborate scavenger hunt for them. Divide all of them into two teams. Have a long scavenger hunt, with time limits, clues and obstacles. Give a prize to the team that wins and a consolation prize to the other team. It's a fun idea that they'll all enjoy!
18th Birthday Party
One of the best party themes for an 18th birthday is a beach party. If you have a beach nearby then nothing like it. Go all out on the decorations. Get some grills for a barbecue and greet every guest with a flower each. Have some music playing. So swimming in the afternoon, play some beach volleyball and by dusk, settle around a bonfire and have some delicious barbecued marshmallows and exchange scary ghost stories. If there isn't a beach, then arrange for a pool party instead. Since this is when you turn into an adult, you want it to be special, don't you?
19th Birthday Party
The novelty of teen parties wears off by this age, so to renew it, you can have a unique party. How about an 'Evil Medieval' theme? Ask everyone to come as a character from the medieval times. It could be a king, a princes, a pauper, a witch, a magician, etc. Anyone at all that represents something from the medieval era or any fantasy stories that revolve around the era. Add a twist and have each person guess who the other is.
As you can see, there are unlimited options to celebrate a teenager's birthday. The ones mentioned here are quite simple, but are definitely worthwhile. So try them out and have a wonderful party. Happy Birthday!
