alright, so first off i'll say i'm 13/f and I'm turning 14 in about 2 weeks. My best friend's birthday is in January, last year she didn't have a birthday party because her mom said she was too old and mature for birthday partys... well, lets say that I still want to be a kid and still throw birthday partys. I just thought about some ideas that I could have for the party. Here they are-
Hollywood theme-
everyone dresses up as a celebrity, then we have a red carpet at home where each person walks down and then they have to do what the celebrity does (example- christina aguilera- that person would have to sing) and then later do a craft project, we take cement and shape it into a star, then have each person put their hand and foot prints in, and also their signature, then let it dry and then they can keep it. Pretty fun huh?
well my question is... does this idea sound too childish? and are 14 year olds still allowed to have birthday partys? I really dont want my friends to go home after this party, saying "Oh my gosh, she threw a party that 7 year olds would!" I want a party that makes my friends say "WOW! That was amazing!" but still think I'm not childish.
oh yeah, and another idea was to split everybody into teams, then tye-dye T-shirts with team names, then play night games that have teams included... then when everybody is cold, we make a bon-fire and make 'smores. Does that seem too childish to you people for a 14 year old??????
THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ THIS... REMEMBER, MY BIRTHDAY PARTY WILL BE IN 2 WEEKS, SO I SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEAS SOON!

Its more mature and chill. Perfect for a teenager.
As for the first one, it seems a bit out their. I know I wouldn't be comfortable singing, and if guys come I don't think they'd wanna make a star. However, it was a super cute idea!
Good Luck <3 [ duudee_advicer's advice column | Ask duudee_advicer A Question ]
ulovelele331 answered Friday October 20 2006, 7:02 pm: I think the hollywood one sounds awesome. It seems much more fun than tose stupid "dance" parties people trow were no one does anything. The only thing is that it sounds pretty involved and expensive. Considering you only have 2 weeks I would choose the second one. It sounds cool. you could also pitch tents and have a sleep over.
Hope I Helped. [ ulovelele331's advice column | Ask ulovelele331 A Question ]
MissHelpful answered Friday October 20 2006, 6:36 pm: hah. i am 14 years old..and mabey im just a big dork but all of your ideas sound awesome. i mean everyone likes a good party and mabey you could do something that mixes things up. lyk for exaple you could do the hollywood theme party but also include like a 'dance' portion where everyone ((guys & girls)) just dance & chill. otherwise i say go for it!! and in case yer still searching fer a last minute idea, just ask around some of yer friends and see what they are up for. im sure that all of yer ideas combined will result in a great party.

MelLeDisko answered Friday October 20 2006, 6:10 pm: Well, I just turned 15 in July, and I had a party. My mom also thought I was maybe getting a little too old for birthday parties. I say, who cares? Alot of friends getting together and having fun sounds like alot of fun to me.
For the hollywood theme party, eh, I wouldn't do that. It sounds cool but it seems a little tad childish. Plus, if you're going to have guys there and everything, they're probably not going to want to do that at all. I know if I was 14, I'd feel weird making a star with my name and everything and I'd be so embarassed and hate having to sing infront of everyone.
But that's what I did last year was have a bonfire! And that's compltely not childish. It's older, fun, and you're just hanging out, chilling by the fire and making smores and playing night games like any teenagers would do to have fun. It's basically just like one huge get together like on a normal friday night.
So I think you should go have the bonfire and do the teams thing! That sounds like a blast.
vivalajam0x answered Friday October 20 2006, 5:51 pm: LOL, that's amazing. I just turned 14 too, and my mom said that I was too old to have a b-day party too.
ANYWAYS, The hollywood theme seems really coool-except for the craft part. That part is really cool, but I'm not so sure that everyone would really rave about the whole idea.
I personlaly think that the splitting everyone into teams with the tye dye shirts woudl be UBERLY cool. MMMM S'mores =] sounds deliciousss. LOL.
That's my ideas.
Hope I helped! And have fun!
