What are some good themes for a teen birthday party?

Q. I have a friend who's turning 13 and I'm helping her plan her party. We are in seventh grade, and her birthday is in January. I know it's early, but we need to start planning so we can find our budget. We live in Florida.
Thanks!


Answer
Movie party theme for hall or at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decoration kit and lots of decorations for this at oriental trading. com. If at home watch a cool movie, have popcorn and all kids of candy and junk food. Make or buy pizza and have sundaes. Have a sleep over with the girls if you want. Have a dance in a hall with this theme. Have everhyone wear a movie star costume. Favors: black gold metallic beads from oriental, directors clapboard photo keychain from oriental, sunglasses from oriental or windy city novelities (make sure to buy adult ones).

Neon glow in the dark This is a cool theme!
invites:
For the invites oriental trading has neon badges. They are neon nylon necklaces that have a clear plastic case. You need to make the cards on your computer using the business card maker on your computer or just use the MS Word. You might want to put a really big VIP in color and on the back at the top Nicole's Neon Bash in cool color and font and then the party info, who what when.

Oriental trading sells Neon gangster hats.

favors:
Oriental sells neon sunglasses.
Oriental also sells neon jelly bracelets
Glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces, lot of sites have these.
Neon Twist and Glow lollipops.
Neon nail polish u.s. toy company
Neon lazer candy (just like pixie sticks but in neon)
Neon slap bracelet at u.s. toy company
Decorations:
More neon themes go along with Glow in the dark.

windy city novelties has neon tablecloths, cups, napkins. Just type neon in their search bar.

Balloons:
Shindigz has black light sensitive neon latex balloons. Again put neon in their search bar.

Shindigz also sells a neon lights personalized banner.

Oriental trading sells a neon fringe banner

Oriental trading sells neon balloon weights for the balloons you buy.

Party cheap has neon party horns and garland.

Glow in the dark sites:
glow source
shop.glogames.com Lots of games here.
Light God

U.S. toy company sells neon body glitter.
Windy city novelties sell lumi balloons that are balloon with lights in them.

Large neon party pack (kinda expensive) at windy city novelties.

So to search for neon and glow items go to all the party sites ands put that in the search bar:


These appetizers were great at our sweegt 16:

Taco Dip:
2 softened cream cheese.
1 16oz sour cream
1 packet taco seasoning.

Mix with mixer. Put in bottom of a cookie sheet. Top with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and green onions. Use the cheese but you can altered the rest to your taste, maybe add black olives. Make 2 of these. Serve with tostitos scoops.

PUPPY CHOW
6 cups Crispix cereal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
12 ounce chocolate chips
2 cups powdered sugar
Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave or on the stove. Stir into cereal. Put powdered sugar in a paper sack. Put cereal mixture in and shake until well coated.
Silver Dollar Sandwiches:
These are silver dollar rolls made by your bakery in the grocery store. We have them in our store just ready to grab, for large orders call ahead for some. Anyway they are perfect for parties, hand size, neat. You buy shaved ham, beef and turkey. You put lettuce on if you want and some cut cheese into triagles and put on. Also put real butter on on side of the bun inside of course. And have mustard and mayo packets on ice in case anyone wants that.

GAMES:
Twister
limbo
get a pinata that matches a theme if you choose a theme.

Put a certain number of candies in a pie plate, fill with cool whip or whip cream and guests have to hold their hands behind their back and find the candies to win a prize.

Buy poster of a cute actor or singer (get one of a girl and one of a boy if you are having a coed party). Anyway, put lipstick on the guest, blind fold them and then spin them a couple times and put them in front of the poster and they have to kiss it. Whoever comes the closest to the actor or singers mouth wins a prize. This can be funny, especially if boys come and they have to put on lipstick.

Police/Jail: Isheriffs badges at shindigz. costumes and handcuffs at oriental trading.
Police line up board at oriental trading.
Police red flashing light at shindigz.
Police car cardboard standee at shindigz.
wanted posters at buycostumes.
Get some brick wall backgrounds to make a jail room or use for the walls at the stumps prom. To make cheap jail bars get PVC pipe really cheap like 3.50 for a 10 foot piece. He said you can spray paint it for a great effect.
Police standees at futurememories.com
Go to jail sign: If in Milwaukee or Illinois rent this otherwise make one yourself from propsunlimited.
Decoration police line tape at copsplus.com

Need some help...teen gals or boys?

My daughter is 14 and has grown away from her dolls...frilly things etc. Christmas is coming!!!! She reads tons, so I know I'll be buying out the book store. Now she's getting into all the electronic stuff. Phones, mp3...4..5 whatever. It's all greek to me. Any ideas' what I could get her???? Thanx PiNk


Answer
Your such a cool Mom! <3
I'm 15, I like books and electronics too~

If she doesn't already have one, get her an i-pod. A video one is best (Because they hold pictures/text/games/and have lots of cool settings!) , this model here http://gillinc.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/video-ipod-766994.jpg
Here's a bit on i-pods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Classic(but wikipedia sometimes has wrong info so don't take every lil' thing to heart)
My ipod was bought new, but a lot cheaper than those...They're more expensive if they have more gigabytes or memory.
Mine has 80, but that's way, way too much. I have over 3000 songs and 50 videos and I'm not even 1/4 of the way through the memory!

If you get her that, maybe some accessories to go with it?
An i-tunes card to get her started (Songs & movies cost money unless downloaded illegally)
A slip cover/case
If she's the type that isn't worried about others hearing her songs, than a speaker is good. (Be sure to check that it's compatable with the ipod! My mom got me the wrong kind of speaker! XD)

Barnes and Noble gift cards are fun too~

You can get her a stuffed animal. She might be growing out of frills and dolls (I never even had that stage) but a nice soft, not overly gaudy/cute squeezable toy is always loved. (Ones that's not too stiff & one that has limp limbs so you can squeeeeeeeeeeeze it!)

Do you know if she's interested in video games? Try to find out what gaming platform she likes (Gameboy DSi, playstation 2 ect ect.)
I would recomend the Gambeboy DSi because it has a larger screen than the old DS and cameras. (The DS has lots of fun games for girls our age. Try Cooking Mama 2 ect)

Food's always appreicated too~ (At least by me~) Special candies, cookies, and cakes are a nice change!

Another slightly different thing, maybe she wants some changes to her room? If she's growing out of frills...
Maybe a new bedspread, lamp, carpet, or wall color.
See if she's unhappy with her room. (I personally am hoping for a new bedspread this year)
You should ask and try to make her hint at what she wants though. Since I don't know her well enough!

Good luck!
