Ideas for the 13th birthday party, why? Because thirteen is a big problem. It is a milestone for children, they become teenagers. It is the beginning of a new era in their lives. Here are some fun ideas for a 13th birthday party.
How about a pajama party? Girls love hosting sleepovers, whether they’re 8 or 13. So if you are trying to plan a party for your daughter, this is a good idea. Late-night movies, manicures and pedicures, maybe a fashion show—these are all great ideas for sleepover fun.
Making a scrapbook or journal with your guests will be fun for everyone. Colorful papers, stick-on jewels, stickers, glitter, and other scrapbook embellishments are perfect for this type of party craft. Since they’re being crafted at a sleepover, why not call them dream journals?
Sleepover food ideas are simple menus. The pizza is perfect and so are many sandwiches. Let each of the girls make her own ice cream.
A pool party is another great 13th birthday party idea. There are fun games you can play billiards, Marco Polo, whirlpool, pool volleyball or polo. Yard games are fun too, so check out which games you saved in the shed from last year. Croquette or Bocci Ball will be entertaining for everyone to play when they get out of the pool. Board and card games will also come in handy then.
Of course, you can always combine a pool party with some Hawaiian birthday ideas… you know, a luau. Prepare the grass skirts and leis. Learn to hula, participate in a hula hooping contest or play limbo…how low can you go?
Swim party food is another easy party menu. Fire up the grill and make burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Add some macaroni and potato salad plus some corn on the cob and your dinner plans are complete. Then you’ll need some dessert. How about the perfect fruit for summer, watermelon? Order an ice cream cake for the birthday boy and your party will be complete.
How about a mystery dinner for your 13th birthday party ideas? Everyone loves a mystery. Plan your own or get one from an online party site. You can have each of your guests play a role in your mystery script. Play detective, plant clues, roast suspects, let your guests find out who is to blame. Have the butler serve the food and have everyone think it was him, after all, isn’t he always the butler?
One thing that teenagers really enjoy is music. Why not host a karaoke night as 13th birthday party ideas? Break out the karaoke machine and decorate with American Idol party supplies. Use posters of your favorite Idol contestants and give each one a contestant number. Select a few kids to be judges and let us see who wins your American Idol contest.
