I'm turning 13 in only a few days, and I'm having a small party (3 boys,4 girls) but I don`t know how to entertain. I have a low budget and I don`t want it to be too kiddish. So far I have movies and a scavenger hunt. Hope people can help.
Christy
Hi, Christy!
You didn't mention the time limit for your party. Won't movies and a scavenger hunt take up most of the alloted time? or are these just suggestions at this point?
You'll probably also have something to eat, right? What about having 'movie food' (like sodas and popcorn) after you have the scavenger hunt. It sounds like that would take up nearly 4-5 hours. You don't want to try to squeeze in too much.
You could start off by giving each guest a scavenger-game list of items to find as each arrives. There will be some sort of time limit, I'd guess -- then everyone would assemble in your central spot (like the living room) to show off what they'd found on their hunt. You should have small prizes for this (like big Hershey bars or something similar).
Then you'd be ready to make the popcorn for the movie -- have some big bowls ready, or give each person an individual microwaved bag of popcorn -- and be prepared to make extras! It would be fun to have a cartoon before your 'main attraction' movie, too -- your library might have some classic Looney Toons or Bugs Bunny.
I hope one of the party-goers will be a good friend who will arrive early to help you set up and stay later to help you clean up.
If you can afford to, have someone take some pictures of all of you (maybe if some of the attendees have digital cameras?) -- at least have your parents take a group picture. If you don't have a camera, you can buy a disposable one for about $6. If a friend asks what you'd like for a gift, you could say 'a disposible camera and picture processing!'
Have a great time -- will you come back and tell us about your party?
Sincerely,
Nancy in Florida

Hi Christy - the key to being a natural hostess is thinking of things the guests are going to want. So first, hang a sign saying "bathrooms -->". Next, food and drinks should be available all the time for nibbles even if you're going to serve a meal. Next, something to do for people who aren't talking to each other, like a TV going and some good music, with magazines around that they might like. A deck of cards and board games sitting around might get picked up and used, so leave them out. Musical instruments too. Don't leave video games available because people aren't part of the party when they are wiggling a controller. The first ones to arrive will need to be put to work, just say "Oh hi! you can help me cut these fruit things up!" or something. Then as the others arrive, you can keep people talking by telling them things about each other.
sharades would be fun and a good time filler. (11/09/2007)

i am also having problems thinking of ideas 4 my 13th b-day party. i was thinking about a murder mystery party but i thought that it was too labor intensive. i am inviting 12 girls & the allotted time is 3-4 hours help! I need ideas!! (11/12/2007)

This is the last time that you'll be a child, so do something kiddish. Have a Blue's Clues birthday party. It sounds kiddish and something that no one would like, but you'd be surprised at how much fun this could be. I did it last year on my 13th birthday and it was a big hit. I had a Blue's Clues clue hunt and then we figured out what blue wanted!!! It was a blast, especially since the invitations were Blue's paw print. -Jessica (12/02/2007)

I'm having My 13th soon and I am giving it a Disney theme. The best thing to do. I had no idea what to do so I decided to look on the internet and I found lots of things. Fancy dress was one of them its a great conversation starter and will get people talking. I have twisted traditional party games to fit my theme like pass the parcel becomes pass the glass slipper. Apple dunking is another great party game. As your becoming a teen now there are lots of funny games like suck and blow you and your friends might find fun. Suck and blow is where you get a slip of paper and you have to pass it from person to person using nothing but your mouth. When your party is just beginning you will want music on and food available. Punch is always a great way to provide drink. Non alcoholic is obviously the best. And as your on a tight budget you should only provide little things or make your own finger food.i also got a friend to help me plan my party
Hope that helps it certainly helped me:)

omg my 13th bday is comin up in the beginnin of january. my party is gonna b on a saturday, perfect time to set up, get the guests here, and have the girls sleep over. im not gonna go through the whole "huge theme thing" cuz it would cost some money to get all the decorations, and then try to make some of the games and activities related. im probly gonna do a night theme. just put up some of my art work or somethin. im gonna start out with everyone in the basement gettin settled and listening to music while waiting for everyone to arrive. i usualy have the girls come earlier..usualy 30 minutes before the boys. that gives us some "planning and discussing" time. just to make sure nothing sounds too weird to be doing with the boys. then we just kinda chill and have snacks handy for anyone who needs em. some people dont know when they will be eating dinner, so they dont eat too much bfor they come. so make sure u defenitaly have snacks and pop, to keep the party pumpin. cameras are a good thing too, take some pictures of everyone, you're most likely going to wish you had pics after the party. trust me, been there, done that. if your going to try to play spin the bottle, and your away from parental supervision, dont get realy quiet. the parents will soon come down suspicious. keep conversations going as your playing the game, otherwise no more spinning. if people just dont seem to listen to you, get like..ur two best friends or something to get everyone to listen. or you could pretend to cry. haha. dont do that. try to make sure all of your guests want to do the activity your doing. my best friend that isnt by bff anymore, she was always really bummed, and it kinda made me go to her and see wats wrong. guests sometimes feel jealous wen one of them seems "favored" by the host. also, it cuts back time. once it gets around...8 oclock, you should probly throw in a movie and relax, have fun, and...sit nezt to the guy you like. haha. thats what i always did. now its your turn to make your party truly special. invite some really funny people. omgsh, my party would b so boring without them. and remember, have FUN!

Heyy! I have some awesome ideas if ya wanna throw a cool and FUN party!
........For favors, stop by the dollar store. My b-day is right after christmas, so I get all the sales! LOL. plus, use wrappin paper to wrap gifts for like a scavenger hunt or sumthin.
........Pick ur own food... Also, some cool games are the balloon game, mad libs, scavengering, now u have it now u dont, and sum more (LOOK BELOW)
~balloon game--- blow up a ton of balloons and keep em in one room. give a foot or so of ribbon to each player. They have 2 pick a balloon and tie it to the balloon and tie that to their ankle. jump around to pop other peoples balloonz. dont get urs popped! last one standing wins. Hint- to win, pretend urs is already popped and blend it in wit the others. at the end, just jump out and say u won!
~mad libs---- good for a sleepover. this takes a lot of time tho. type some stories up on ur cp and put blanks with small letters under them like "verb ending in -ing." be more specific [ex. "person like teacher, mom, dad..."] it makes it funner. Take turns with a few buds and have sum Laughs!
~scavengering--- be creative. u know how to do this!
~now u have it now u dont---- wrap as many gifts as guests. write a list of #'s and a slip of paper matchin the #. Give each person a few numbers (about 5 is good) and keep the list. (this means u may have to make up to 30-sum #'s) Randomly call the #'s. when theirs is called, they get a gift. after all the gifts are chosen, if sumone has a gift u want, you may take it from them. Make sure each person ends up with at least 1 gift but no more than 3--make it fair. open gifts when done.
Some places to go are movies, golf/go kart (summer), skating (ice, roller, etc...) and a hotel. Some of these can be costly, so try to keep ur parties under $100. Ur parents will trust u more and let u have more parties year-round. So, you will not just have a big party in cold autumn, but maybe u can have an end-of-skool-year bash!
The most important part to a party is GOOD FRIENDS. they make the party, not your stuff. Hope I helped. G2G- lex(b)(/b) (12/19/2007)
By Lexxi
Skip the scavenger hunt! they get boring fast, if u already have bought the materials for it, they can quickly translate in to nice goody bag stuffers.
Instead, base the whole party around movies, get the scariest you can find! I suggest renting IT or MISERY by Stephan king. Provide lots of popcorn, pizza, soda, cookies, confetti, balloons and cake.
to save more money, visit a dollar store to find cheaper stuff or scope out sales at a local party store.
Even try making a few banners with paper and markers, google a way to make a pinata and you'll have the best party and cheap!
All you have to do is get crafty! HAVE FUN! ~Sophie (12/29/2007)
By Sophie.
I think you should skip the scavenger hunt and base it on a Hollywood movie premier. Stop by a dollar store and you could probably find paper popcorn holders and put popcorn in them turn all the lights down and put the film on. Get a table and put drinks and paper cups and straws and cup lids so everyone can help themselves. Once the film has ended turn the telly off and start a popcorn fight. Make sure you don't knock any drinks over. (01/01/2008)

i think you should have limo/hotel party. invite about 10 friends and fly to New York. have a driver drive you in a limo to the fanciest hotel in town. i did it for my 13th party and it was a blast. i live in California and there is like nothing to do in march. my cousin Jessie Mcartney did this for his 13th party and suggested it to me. its super fun and super inexpensive.
My parents thought i should do something more high class. like go to Paris or the Bahamas. but i already did that for my 9 bday. the flight was to long and the limo driver only spoke French. no way am i doing that again. so take my advice and have a blast. oh and don't forget to wear your jimmy shou heals and Ralph lauren mini dress. get the dress in aqua blue and the shoes should half nude and half aqua blue. black stelleto heals will also work. lov ya (01/17/2008)

Ohio is the place to have the best birthday ever! It sure beats Paris and New York! I think that Ohio is a great place to have your 13th birthday party because you can put your boots on, and hike in the woods and find lots of bugs instead of putting on your jimmy shou heals and Ralph lauren mini dress!
I like piling my friends in my Dad's old pickup truck and riding through the field. Then for food we light a big old fire and cook up some deer hot dogs that my Dad hunted last week, I went with him. For games we see how many worms we can pile on our hair,it is fun! Hope these ideas help. (01/20/2008)

By Aroha
You could make your own hotel. You would have to reserve some time before to set up, but you could make the playroom a guest room and your room could be a guest room. You could have a dinner buffet set up at night in your kitchen where your guests can go around and pick out all sorts of different little appetizer snacks. or you could just go out to eat. You could have a breakfast buffet, same thing with different foods. then the party favors could be in bags that say something like "thank you for staying at the your name Plaza" or "we hope you enjoyed your stay... plz come again."

Hi Christy,
Most of these suggestions are for large budgets i.e shopping in Paris & flying to Barbados.(I think some people might be showing off!)
My daughter will be 13 soon and she is only inviting her close friends.They will have food and music,they will be that busy gossiping they wont need games. Then they will watch their movie & eat popcorn & sweets. we will make up party bags with make-up & girly things. If u invite boys then you will have to think of what to put in their bags, maybe joke stuff!
Just be yourself and have fun. Happy Birthday xx (02/06/2008)

And I'll just turn on some music, and tell people to bring their Ipods, so we can have more song choices to hook to the speakers. (02/23/2008)

heey guys,
my 13 is coming up in 2 weeks , i'm inviting my 4 closest friends and then expanding the rest of my birthday later into the night. one of my older friends gave me a really good idea for it. a project runway model theme, to kick it off each guest gets to pick a bag. each bag has a blank plain t-shirt, scissors, a marker, hair products, and all the makeup required. plus each have a different theme
groupie
cntm
ny fashionista
spicegirl
canadian idol
everybody gets 20 minutes to create themselves to look like their theme. then walk down a fake runway and video tape your fashion show, you guys will laugh over and over again! later i am having a couple more people over and we are going to have a bond fire, me and my 5 girls are going to go to it all dressed up in our model looks!
after the extra few leave we will go inside , wash our faces and do some pretty cool facials. pop in some movies and chill. it will be a awesome party. i hope i helped! (03/06/2008)

Hey, just for starters hun, I know how you feel. I'm turning 13 tomorrow, and i know everything is so limited on time. Do like movie trivia, create questions based on a few movies you watched and then give out prizes to the person who got the most questions right. One time I did a makeup scavenger hunt where people had to fine different makeup items, and once they found it all, they had to put it on a girl. It would be fun with boys because they have no idea how to put on makeup! Definitely have some good music, pizza, and dessert. ice cream sundae contest? Who can make the beastliest sundae? You can do so much with just ideas like that. Have a great 13th birthday! (03/23/2008)

By susie
Don't do foolish things such as toilet-papering someone's home; it isn't funny and it shows your immaturity if you and your friends think it is. It's never right or funny to vandalize property.
Fun and celebrating do not need to cost your parents a lot of money. Frugal is the way to be. Have homemade cake, homemade decorations. There have been a lot of great ideas posted here. Have your parents, an aunt, uncle or older sibling take lots of candid photos. Be yourself and think of others first, you'll be a great hostess if you do. Be sure to send thank you notes for the gifts and thank your parents and others that have helped to make your day a special one. (06/22/2008)

My birthday is in 2009 in March. I know why am I planning it so soon that's cuz I want every thing to be perfect when my b-day comes along. Also dat nobody can backout cuz dats what people did before so if I tell them way in advance like 3 mths frm my b-day they can't say anything. I was thinking I could have a sleepover w/ my closest girlfriends and da next day I have a pool/dance party.I haven't decided yet.Once the place is secure just need to find da perfect swimsuit now dats a problem.
Hope I was off some help to someone. Just keep it simple with music, food, fun and games. No need for people to show off. Could someone also tell me if I should have homemade decorations and also if I should have a pool or dance party I could have both but it's March but also I do live in Florida. Whatever. Bye.

1. Have a carnival/sleepover. You could rent a moon bounce and even maybe a cotton candy machine.
2. Luau
3. Hollywood
4. 70's
Hope that this helped! (08/01/2008)

Hi! So my 13th b-day is in like a few months, so are my friends! what you could do is if you have friends who's birthday is in the same month as yours, you could think of throwing like a dance party with 20 people at a club house or somewhere roomy enough for everyone to fit. A good party could be to 3 hours long..themes you could have is a Luau! that's the best idea if your b-day is in da summer or spring! or hav a swimming party! (08/05/2008)

My birthday is in a month, and I really need some help. I usuallly have crazy parties that none of my other friends have, but this year I'm coming up blank. i don't really want to have a sleepover, my mom and I were thinking maybe go kart racing, but I'm not sure. Please give me some ideas. Nothing that includes flying to some place, or fancy hotels. (09/06/2008)

Hey, I think a great idea for your 13th b-day for a smaller group would be to have a luau type thing. You could have up to 8 ppl sleepover and you could have fun with an awesome backyard water party! You could buy a slip n slide and some other small things. For a bigger group the hotel idea is very good. You could have a more people like maybe a max. of 50 and you could all spend the night @ the hotel of you choice . You could all have fun @ the pool. Have a hotel scavenger hunt. And wake up the next day and order room service! Well, these are a few ideas I had in mind for mine! (09/14/2008)

Hi! I am turning 13 VERY soon. I have some cool ideas for a party, and I also want some advice on other stuff you guys may have, like some cool games or crafts to do with your girlfriends.
Here are some ideas of a cool girly girl party.
1. Get lots of pillows, and watch several movies, and have fun snackies.
2. Have some spa/girl stuff. Like nail polish, face masks, hair stuff, etc. and go into the largest bathroom in your house and do each other nails and hair and stuff. I only suggest this is it is a girls party only. lol.
3. You could also get or buy a tent and go sleep and hang out, outside, if you are more adventurous.
4. Really you all just hang out and have fun with each other. You could do a fun craft, and play lots of games. I find, that if you are with people you like, you will always have something to do. Hope this helps all of ya'!! (09/21/2008)

I`m turning 13.Soon *tear*.But I cant seem to keep my party plans the same. I keep changing them because I`m worried what other people will think. The girl friends just want to go shopping all the time.Its like confusing because my friends are my life and I don't want to lose them be cause of a lame birthday.It started out by wanting to have this girls night out on the town.Get a limo to pick us up from school on a Friday and go to the mall and shop and talk, and walk. Drop of people who cant stay for the sleepover at hotel.But every things changing.
Now it lets go to that fancy restaurant called"tru lucks"and eat there and just go to the hotel for the sleepover.Gosh give some organization advice?Tell me which idea you like better?If you dont like either one send me an idea that doesn't invite staying at home. Thanks (09/24/2008)

Sometimes picking a theme as simple as a color/colors.
I was really worried too because my birthday was in three weeks and i had nothing planned, and usually i have things planned months ahead. So i stated thinking and really liked the idea of a scavenger hunt, and because i always have a very low budget on my parties, i thought it would be perfect.
Okay so i had scavenger hunt... what else could i do? I continuously Google searched 'birthday party ideas' and there was a couple of good things, but nothing that was WOW, nothing that was ME!
So i started thinking again and brain storming and started thinking about i school dance i had recently had, it's was themed black & white... i thought it was soo cute. So i went w/ it. I bought b & w streamers and balloons, plates and napkins, EVERYTHING! even the cake was vanilla and chocolate.
I had so much fun!

I have an idea. I'm already 13 but for my party we had a "13 going on 30" party and everyone came as what their dream to be at 30 was. Well we had it at community center and everyone had lots of fun. I went as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader and this idea is not kiddish at all. Afterwards I had a sleepover. And also we gave a prize to the person wearing the coolest costume! It was lots of FUN!

I have read what you all have said and all these ideas sound great! But I thought of an even better one! If you have a large budget you could go to a photoshoot room and have a photoshoot with your closest buddies! And there small gift could be an album with all the great photos you took! (01/31/2009)
