How to Plan a Teenage Birthday Party

Teenagers are very fickle. Their likes and dislikes change on a daily basis. When it comes to planning a birthday for a teenager, especially girls between the ages of 13 and 18 can be not only frustrating, but expensive. Here are some tips for an economically acceptable party, while still giving them the party they will love according to Love to Know. Some great ideas for a teenage birthday party are:



  • Murder mystery party. This can be done in the style of "Clue".
  • Scavenger hunt party. Give the kids a list of things to look for and give out a prize to the top 3 winners.
  • Tie dye party. The kids can make tie-dyed t-shirts or hats.
  • Beading party, this would be a girl's party, of course. Girls would make their own jewelry.


Now, for birthdays that occur during warm months of the year or for areas with warm year-round locations, an outside party may be the solution. There are many possibilities for an outdoor type of party. Some ideas for outside parties are:



  • Bonfire party. Create a bonfire and have a wiener and marshmallow roast.
  • Barn party or hayride. This is a great idea for birthdays that occur in the fall of the year.
  • Survivor party. Based on the hit show "Survivor", this party may be the most popular of all. Create challenges and competitions for the kids to enjoy.
  • Luau Party. A luau party can have tropical foods, a dance and grass skirt decorations.
  • Beach themed party. Palm trees and tropical decor can make the kids feel as if they are relaxing at the beach.


Party supplies can be found at many places online, but one of the most economical is probably Amazon. Another place to get really good prices on party supplies is Oriental Trading. Both of these have great deals on a variety of party supplies to be able to provide that perfect party without the heavy price tag. Oriental Trading is probably the better place to get teenage party supplies if you are inviting a large number of guests. Oriental Trading sells large quantities at low prices, usually by the dozen and sometimes even two dozen.
