Teens Birthday Party Themes
If you think it’s hard to plan a children’s party, think again. Planning a birthday party for a teenager is harder. But with these choices, you wouldn’t have a hard time doing so.
Planning a teen birthday party is challenging because it is difficult to know what today’s teens love doing. You want the party of your teenager to be more fun than watching a movie at the mall. How then can you plan a birthday party for a teenager?
The following are themes that have been tried and tested by moms out there. Along with the appropriate decoration ideas, games, activities and invitations, these three themes for a teen’s birthday party are the most popular.
1. The Detective Party
Here, teenagers engage in a Search and Riddle theme party. This is a take on a Murder in a Party consisting of a game asking “Who am I?” and the second a longer one because it is a Treasure Hunt.
You wouldn’t need much with this party. To prepare for a Detective theme, all you need to do is be inspired by those “who done it” murder mysteries. Once you have a story going on then you can incorporate all these ideas and let the teens join in by asking them to solve the mystery.
It’s not scary. It wouldn’t give the teenagers any nightmare after playing the Detective game. In fact, it’s fun when played in the evening because the darkness adds more to the excitement.
As for the clues, you can hide these inside the house. It’s a 90 minute up to two hour party. It depends on how many guests are invited.
2. The Survivor Party
Inspired by the popular reality show, you don’t need to have it playing in the background to show the teenagers because chances are they have already seen an episode or two. The main game of the party is different from the show because no one gets voted off. It is fun and friendly competition.
The teenagers are encouraged to use their imaginations and their brains. They are also asked to do a lot of noise and a couple of yucky stuff like eat exotic food. This is suitable if you are planning on hosting a fast paced party.
The preparation time for this party is mostly two hours because you will be needing a lot of food here for the game. A game we suggest that you play is the spin the wheel and then it shows a particular food the teenager will eat.
It is suitable for indoors as well as outdoors. You can also try out for the water-based games.
3. Medieval Madness Party
This is like the Detective Party because there is a mystery to be solved. If you are hooked on “Lizzie McGuire” and “Saved by the Bell”, you know exactly what the murder mystery games are.
Teenagers love to do this because it is the most “adult” thing that they can do. After all, they are too old to go to Chucky Cheese and too young to celebrate too much outside their own homes.
The guests are handed a brief description of the role that they will be playing beforehand. During the party, they come in costume and play the part. They interact with the other guests and do their best to achieve their main objectives, which are also provided beforehand. A murder takes place in the party and then there is a medieval trial with a ballot.
