Fun teen birthday party ideas, awesome fun teenage b-days themes, places to go, themed birthday activities for guy or girl parties, slumber party ideas, bowling party etc
Fun teen birthday party ideas and themes for teenagers are sometimes a challenge. Here are cool theme teenage parties for teen birthday events and things to do to celebrate a 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th or 19th birthday. These ideas will also work for pre-teens or "tweens."
Blacklight or Laser Light Bowling Birthday Party for Teenagers:
Many bowling alleys offer special blacklight bowling (sometimes called “Glow Bowl“ or “Pajama Bowl”) during the day or in the evening. Usually the normal lights are darkened and blacklights light up the pins, white clothing, and special paint on the walls. Reservations and arrangements need to be made in advance. Often, as well, bowling alleys will have a party room or snack bar where refreshments may be served. Ask if there are party goods and decorations available with a birthday bowling party package.
Have a Teen Laser Tag Birthday Party:
What is laser tag? According to Laser Quest , with over 140 locations, "Laser Quest combines the classic games of tag and hide & seek with a high-tech twist. Donning the most sophisticated laser tag equipment available, the game is played in a large, multi-level arena featuring specialty lighting, swirling fog and heart-pounding music."
Laser tag facilities are a bit challenging to find in some areas, but a few good games of this real-life, safe, action game is a blast (pardon the pun) for a bunch of friends at a birthday party. This fun activity involves two teams running around a padded maze (again, in the glow of blacklight) trying to “shoot” each other’s target while protecting their own.
Parents can play too, or can usually watch the game on TV screens outside the game room. Laser tag gaming areas are often placed with other fun amusements, such as video game arcades, and often have party rooms and packages available.
Girls' Teen Birthday Party Ideas for a MakeOver Celebration:
The idea of this glamour birthday party theme is to give all the young ladies a lovely makeover, with new hairstyles, make-up, fingernails, and maybe even clothing.
This party can be adjusted to most any budget.
For an extravagant event, the parent host and/or hostess can take the girls to a fancy spa for a full treatment (maybe even including massages or other luxuries).
For a middle-priced party, the young ladies can go to a spa and have fewer things done or be taken to a less expensive hairstyling spot or to a beauty school.
Beauty schools will often do hairstyling and other treatments at greatly reduced prices.
The least expensive way to go will be to have a home makeover party. It can be fun for the girls to style each other’s hair and do each other’s nails and make-up.
Ask everyone to bring several of their most elegant dresses, shoes and jewelry to share, and the girls will have a blast mixing and matching.

I am planning a 14th birthday party for my daughter. She isnt a girl that
enjoys sleepovers and makeovers. She is into sports but doesnt want her
birthday to do with sports. One because she is inviting mostly girls and a
few boys. I dont want her to be made fun of by the boys for having it too
girly or too boyish. She suggested a halloween party because her birthday
is close to halloween. But then she kiked that out. Help???

my friend just told me about a kidnap party. The parents are in on it, but
you go with your child at say 3 or 4 o'clock and knock on the door to grab
your birthday guest out of bed just the way they are. Then once you have
them all together, you go out to breakfast and open gifts. I think because
the parents are in on it they will give you the gift when you kidnap the
child. I'm sure you could put your own spin on it but it sounded fun
especially for the teen years.

I am planning a reality tv show party for my 13 yr old daughter. First
there will be pizza of course. Then we will have some fear factor gross
eating games and some gross obstacle course too. Dancing with the stars (
strobe light musical stars). Singing too "whats that line". And
the most fun will be the red carpet: I went to the party store and got a
bunch of odd ball stuff ( hats, pirate patch, tiras, big combs, glasses,
boas, bill bob teeth, fangs and so on. The kids will pick which 4 times
they will wear on the red carpet and of course pictures will be taken.
Then we will vote on the best dressed. There will be a point system
and prizes will be awarded.

Hey parents!!! I am a teen and i figured I would throw out a few cool
party ideas that i have been to or had myself. 1.Build A Bear-no
matter what age you are, it is always fun.When i turned 14 my friends and I
had the best time 2.Anything to do with limos or party buses, those
are always a hit and you can stock it with food and drinks and you just
drive around(party buses with tv's are good too, that way you can watch
movies) 3.Having a huge scavenger hunt, whether its driving around
cars and finding stuff on the street or going into stores or just around
the neighborhood, it is always a hit. 4.A big game of fugitive.For
that game you will need people that can drive, since it isnt a well known
game, I will explain.So every starts out at the birthday kid's house, and
everyone needs to end up somewhere else(we will say the high school).So
there are "cop car drivers" and their partners in the cars.Then
there are plenty of fugitives trying to escape.The fugitives get a 5-10 min
head start and run on foot to the high school.Once the ten minutes is up,
the "cops" drive around to find the "fugitives" one one
of the fugitives are spotted the driver stops the car and their partner
gets out and tags the fugitive.If you get tagged, now you go in the car
with the "cops" and have been captured.The goal of the game is it
get to the high school without getting tagged.This game really only works
at night.And pretty much you can hide in peoples yards behind/under cars,
anywhere, just not inside someone's back yard. Those are a few fun
ideas, hope it helps!!

mall scavenger hunt. split up into groups and either give them money and
have them buy stuff (give prizes to the kids who got ALL items in time
limit and with least money spent). OR have them take pictures.

I'm turning 13 in November...still a ways away, but im already excited
about it :)since my mom and dad make it so that I can only invite one or
two friends, I am not sure what I would like to do...I was thinking maybe
we could go see the premier of new moon and then maybe sweetberry farms in
texas. I live in austin so that is kinda far away. also, I thought maybe
tidyeing some shirts could be fun:) I bet I spelled that wrong though:P oh
well thanks for your help!
