Parenting has a lot of ups and downs, with important milestones in your children’s lives being a cause for celebration. These include birthdays, among others, and it is a fact that what children enjoyed when they were younger will change as they grow older. Here are a few tips to help you plan a successful birthday extravaganza for your teen daughter that she will remember for years to come.
Choose a Unique Party Theme for Your Daughter’s Birthday
A theme is the foundation that you will build the rest of the party around, and so it is important to choose a unique one based on your daughter’s interests. Themes are limitless, with possibilities of using the movies, a favorite food, a beloved pastime, or even a color as the basis on which to plan.
Once you have settled on a theme, pick three colors. These will be the main ones you use, and you should carry these throughout to the accessories you use, including plates, napkins, balloons, and more.
Pick Food Based On the Unique Theme
When you have settled on a theme you like, you need to pick the food because no party would be complete without food! Here, a little creativity is allowed, and you can get inspiration from the internet. Recipes, snack options, and even food presentations are available for you to choose from. If it all seems too much to do yourself, you can always hire a caterer who will deliver a professional menu tailored to your exact needs.
Rent a Tent, Tables, and Chairs for the Backyard
If you plan to have organized entertainment like inviting a band or DJ and want to have the right atmosphere, it is a good idea to rent a tent to make sure everyone is protected from unprecedented showers or the hot sun. Tables and chairs for your backyard will also give you the chance to have an arrangement built around the theme of the birthday party and ensure that everyone can enjoy the event comfortably.
A Spa Afternoon for Your Daughter’s Birthday
Most teen girls enjoy a good pampering, and nothing does this better than a trip to the spa. Alternatively, you could have a spa-themed party at which guests will soak their feet and be served cute snacks. Pedicures and manicures are welcome, and if possible, have your daughter and her friends create their own face masks and other treatments for which you will provide the ingredients. With 50% of consumers taking care of their own eyebrows in their daily beauty routine now versus just 28% in 2015 according to research from FCB, it is clear that many people enjoy doing their makeup and skin treatments.
Make a Splash In the Pool
Pool parties will never be out of style, so if the weather permits it, treat your teen daughter to a splash in the pool for her next party. You could rent a blow-up pool for your guests or take them to the beach if it is close enough. Add to the fun by having the sprinklers on and holding a water balloon fight. This will be both safe and fun for people of all ages.
Arrange a Backyard Campout Sleepover
Another good idea for a party is a backyard campout sleepover. Your daughter and her friends will enjoy a cozy time and enjoy the party to the fullest with the option of staying over available. During this time, they can share stories, make crafts, bake, and even play games. Since businesses are four times more likely to be burglarized than homes, everyone’s safety at the party should not be too big a concern.
Creating great memories for your children is your goal. When your daughter and her friends enjoy the birthday party, you can rest assured you made the event as special as can be.
