I'm turning 14 at the end of December and I really want a birthday party with around 25 girls. It's obviously too cold outside for anything outdoor and I'm not much of a shopping or cinema fan. I can't spend more than £150 on everything (food, decorations, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do?

Have the girls maybe bring their favorite movies, or find out what movies they like and get the DVD's, (they don't cost very much nowadays), have the girls also bring what type of snack they like, (just in case maybe someone has allergies, and limited choices), that way everyone is happy. For 14, just a few balloons should suffice, and some matching paper plates and cups. Let them choose the music and have a dance off or something. Also see if they like games (board games, or console games). My daughter loved it when I did this for her on her birthday at that age. I hope you have a great one!
At this time of year, an indoor party is a must. However with 25 friends, it is hard to ask your mom for a sleep over or even a spa day or night with your friends. Decorations will eat up the budget and if you cook it will make it cheaper on food. So if you wanted to go with a bowling party or even a skating party you may not have enough for this one.
I would suggest keeping the decoratins down to a few dollars at the most. Dollar stores are great to help out on this one. Now you can use the bulk of the money to buy food or even make food. I think a DIY Pizza party s a good way to entertain your friends, feed them and have fun. You can get some cake decorations and make your own cake.
Now the rest is just planning on what to do with your time. You can do board games, music or even movies while they are there.
You could have a large sleep over,Bowling party, Skating party!
Bowling, concert or a nice lunch out.
Within that budget and preferences, you should have a mani/pedi spa party sleepover. Order pizza, have everyone bring nail polish, watch movies etc. Leftover pizza for brekkie!
How lovely you have such a generous budget and so many friends to share your special day!! Happy early 14th birthday!!
Is your home big enough to host such a large group?
If not, can you do a pool party at a local hotel? My nephews did that for one birthday party and it was a blast! The hotel charged a small fee to rent it to the family and pay for a lifeguard, the theme was beach with colorful juice drinks with fruit, the meal was hot dogs and hamburgers, chips, and there were colorful cupcakes for dessert.
The kids played games in the pool (there were noodles available and of course a bunch of beach balls). The hotel had free wifi so a few kids who didn't want to swim were playing games on tablets. This was before portable speakers so someone brought a radio for music.
It was a lot of fun!! Post back what you decide!!
