Katya's birthday is coming up in December. Last year she turned 13 and we had a huge ice skating party to celebrate (among her many other celebrations).
This year we are doing things low key and having a party at home for her with some of her friends. We will still do a family & neighbor party, but it is the friend party that we are stuck on.
It was Katya's idea that I post a blog asking for advice on activities that we could do at the party that wouldn't be considered lame. I had suggested everyone making their own pizza, but that was shot down. She wants to DO stuff, not just watch a movie and she wants it co-ed since she has some really good guy friends.
Soooooooooooooo, have any of you got some good ideas? Did anyone go somewhere and thought "that was a lot of fun"? Did someone's teenager have a party and do stuff that was at least not boring?
Help!

Boys are so much easier to entertain... at Stinky's party they played foosball and had a huge Nerf dart war. I was allowed to bring them food.
Any singers in her crowd? You could get a karaoke machine and let them do a party version of American Idol. You could even get a prize for the winner.
Are the "How to Host a Murder" parties still around? That was fun, especially when everyone got over feeling like a fool for dressing up and really got into the game.
QP's 13th birthday is in December, I have no clue what she is going to want to do. Last year she wanted to rent an mechanical bull. Can you imagine the parents' faces if we did that?!
Katya loves the idea of a mechanical bull for her sweet 16. I would have some fun on that thing too!
Hollywood Theme Party - Perfect for kids of all ages (especially teenagers!) and loads of fun to put together. A Hollywood party makes it easy to plan around your child's favorite actor, TV character, cartoon character, movie or just plain Hollywood magic. Party entertainment can be rented videos or DVDs, a game of charades, etc. Place a life-size standup of who or whatever lights your child's fuse in the entryway or outside the front door and get the mood started as guests arrive. Party favors can be miniature "Oscar" statues, clap boards, movie themed key chains or whatever wets your whistle. Send Hollywood movie ticket invitations, have guests dress as their favorite movie or TV star, decorate the room with cool movie posters, a Hollywood banner, jumbo movie clap board and film reel balloons, A Hollywood centerpiece on the table ... you get the picture - ;-) A very fun idea for everyone! Find all these props, decorations, invitations, favors and more online: Hollywood Party Store and make it easy to plan and create the perfect Hollywood party.
Or Play :Survivors or Detective Party.
It will work for both genders.
hmmm... I will have to consult with the experts at my house. I'll be back.
A friend of mine did an 80's prom theme for her teenage daughter's birthday, they wore the neon, ratted her hair huge and did a dance with 80's music. She posted the pics it looked like a lot of fun!
