Consider a place that's suited to the teenager's personality and interests.
When deciding on a place to have a party for your teenager, you should consider his personality and interests. Also meet with the teenager and find out what types of places he is interested in for the party. You can also find creative birthday party ideas by reading magazines such as "Seventeen," "Marie Claire" and "Better Homes and Gardens." Does this Spark an idea?
Community Recreational Center
One idea is to have the party at a recreational center if your teenager likes to play sports with friends. To make it interesting, center the party around a certain sports theme. For example, if you want to have a collegiate basketball theme, you can have all of the guests arrive dressed up in their favorite collegiate basketball team jerseys, and you can prepare snacks such as barbecued chicken sandwiches, vegetable salad, turkey and cheddar burgers with sweet potato fries, brownies and fruit juices. Finally, divide your guests into two teams and have them play a basketball game for a prize.
Hair Salon/Spa
For the teenage daughter who enjoys going to the spa and salon, you can arrange for her and her friends to spend the birthday at a local salon. In addition to the salon visit, give each guest a gift bag filled with a fashion magazine and some hair supplies they can use to make themselves beautiful throughout the week.
Skating Rink
If you and your teen enjoy skating, a skating rink is a good choice. Ask friends and relatives to help you with party decorations while you and your spouse provide the teen's desired food. At the skating rink, play a few skating games with the guests and offer fun prizes for the winners of the games.
Movie Theater
Another idea is to rent out a local movie theater and hold a movie party for your teenager and his friends. When contacting the movie theater, ask how much it costs per hour for private parties and which movies are currently showing. Then consider whether these movies are age-appropriate for your teen and the guests.
