Having A Huge Party For Boys && Girls, Need Ideas & Fast PLLZ!!?

Question

Okay, so I'm turning thirteen and I want this party to be amazing. Its going to have boys and girls so it can't be a sleepover, my mom won't allow it and I don't feel right about that. I don't want my guests to be bored, that's the absaloute last thing I wanna happen. I can't have a girly theme like Titanic and I don't have access to the pool. And money is an option so I can't have big bucks going into this. Any ideas will be great and appreciated without them I think I'm going to have the lamest party of the century!

Answer 3

Hollywood theme: Everyone dress up for a red carpet event. Rent a small hall or room. Have everyone wear white/black and you steal the show in red. Make it a dance. Buy a couple celebrity stand ups for pictures with your guests. Buy hollywood decorations at shindgiz, partycheap, hollywood megastore, etc. Have a DJ.

Movie party at the Movies. Have a small group at an earlier cheaper matinee, you can ask for a group rate. Then to home and have pizzas or better yet make your own homemade pizzas with roll out pillsbury dough and then a sundae bar and your best girlfriends can stay the night.

Movie party at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decorations for this at oriental trading. com and you can also find some movie stuff on the hollywood sites I mentioned above. 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 if your have room.

Luau, beach Hawaii: Orientaltrading has the coolest decorations and favors for this theme and the cutest tropical invitation in the bottle. Give your guests leis as they come in. Play Limbo, Hula hoop, and have a few grass skirts and everyone (including the guys) have to give hulaing a try. Again if you have room to do this at home or you can rent a small room.  Tropical pinata.  Twister.

Candy theme: Pink tablecloths, pink and white balloons. Make candy bouquets for the tables with short wide mouth vase from the dollar store. Fill 1/3 with peppermint disks. Buy colorful lollipops and put in the vase. Make another one t he same but use candy sticks instead like cherry, lime, etc. You can attach bows to each one with a favor card that says your initial, 16 or thanks for coming to my sweet 16 and then after the party give them out as favors. Get personalized M and Ms to put in small favor bags. Get personalized hershey bar wrappers and little personalized stickers that go on the bottom of hershey's kisses. Buy plate size styrofoam 3 inch thick rounds and wrap in clear cellophane for a big hard candy decorations. you could put a wood dowel in one to make it a sucker. Play twister. For favors those candy necklaces, bracelets ands ring pops and candy lipsticks.  They sell inflatable lollipops at Windy City Novelities.

Neon theme. Bright colors, neon lights and glow in the dark items.  They sell lights that go in balloons and all kinds of neon and glow in the dark items at windy city novelitis, oriental trading and U.S. Toy Company.  

For any theme you choose check out scene setters: http://www.4funparties.com/PRODUCTS/Deco...

These are huge plastic murals that make your theme looks so real especially for at home parties. We have used these and love them and so cheap. You buy backgrounds and can add things to them.

Party decorations:

shindigz, oriental trading, U.S. Toy Company, partycheap, and many, many more.

Answer 4

Get a couple of sushi trays and some fun drinks.  If you can afford it I agree that the DJ would be key.  Make a dance floor area and get some like glow stix and glow jewelry.  It would also be fun to set up like a game area.  Maybe you guys can play a board game thats guys against girls or if you have a Wii get everyone involved in like a tournament for prizes.  Last idea rent some scary movies....everyone likes slasher flix and everyone will leave feeling very grown up.  Hope this helps, been a while since I was 13.

Answer 5

There's a lot you can do!

You can do relay races, have potato sack races, three legged races, wheelbarrel races (where one person stands and holds the ankles of the other person who runs with their hands on the ground).  You can do the spoon race with the raw egg, whoever gets to the finish line first without breaking their egg wins.

You can get an inflatable kiddie pool, fill it with water and do a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the pool!

Do a pie eating contest, but instead of pie, make it whipped cream and whoever finishes first wins!

Set up an ice cream bar, have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, and whatever else is your favorite and get some toppings.  Sprinkles, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, cherries, etc, and paper bowls and let everyone make their own sundaes.

You can set up a badmitten/volleyball net and everyone break into teams and play badmitten and volleyball.

If you can get a slip and slide, buy one and have fun on that.

Set up some lawn chairs and towels for those that don't want to play the games, so they can watch and enjoy the day too.

For food you can bbq hamburgers and hot dogs or send out for a few pizzas. You can even do a taco bar with all the toppings.

If you want to do a movie theme, pick a few favorites, get some of the cardboard popcorn buckets and microwave popcorn, big boxes of candy and at movie time everyone gets their own bucket of popcorn and pass around the candy. (the buckets you can get at the dollar store or Blockbuster, etc).  You can even put down a red carpet or fabric so your friends are entering on the red carpet.  You can have them dress as their favorite movie character.

Then hang a white bed sheet somewhere in the house where you and your friends can take pictures so there's no distractions, like on the red carpet there's always a place they stop and take pictures, that's the place for you, the white sheet.  Then after the movie, you have the "after" party where you can eat and do the ice cream bar, etc.  You can have the pizzas or do whatever food you like.  Go with what YOU like and what YOU want bbq, or pizza or whatever.

I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a great party and a very Happy Birthday!
