Kori15 answered Friday August 1 2008, 4:19 am: My first question would have to be if you intended it to be a surprise party? I think that surprise parties are amazing and really make a person feel loved; however, parties that are out in the open just seem to be easier because you can get her input on it. If it is a surprise party though, speaking to her best friends would definately be the best idea because they could probably tell you what she would enjoy/not enjoy.
If her party is not a surprise (or even if it is), here are a few ideas, or you could even just try talking to her directly & see if she has anything in mind.
1. If she's more into dancing & hip hop type, you could do as the person before me said & hire a dj (or even just put some good songs onto a CD or play your daughter's ipod if possible) and get strobe lights and other lights to create a cool dance floor (maybe outside on a patio even).
2. If your daughter is more of a girl thats living in the wrong era, you could always do a time themed party. Different times call for different possible costumes and decorations. There are 50s themed parties (have all invites dress in old 50s doowop attire & decorate like a diner or route 66 and play some swingin music!) There are also 70s parties with groovy dancing and fun. Any time era is possible!
3. There is always a leiu (I am not sure if I spelled that correctly, I'm sorry). A nice Hawaiin theme is always fun & can call for some fun and relaxing decorations.
4. With any party, no matter how old/young the person, games are always fun! Try hula hooping contests or ball tosses...its a party, go back in the day and just try to have some old fashioned fun!
I hope I gave you some helpful ideas, if you are still looking for something different, let me know, I'm sure I can think of something! =]
With Love,

Fill the room with balloons, make a big cake with a picture she loves and took to make it even more specail. Put together some kind of dance floor [[or order a room you can use]] teens love to dance [[make sure if she has a bf then put in some slow songs she'll love that]]. Get really cool lights, blacklights, strobe lights. Put up all kinds of big picture of her maybe even some with friends. Hang things from the celling in her favorite colors.
