The average 14-year-old girl would love an active, fun-filled birthday party.
At the age of 14, girls are still crossing the barrier between girlhood and the teen years. At this delicate age, having a birthday party disaster would be devastating. It is very important to find ideas that are appealing to this age group. The perfect birthday party should be exciting, memorable and allow the girls some independence. Does this Spark an idea?
Mall Scavenger Hunts
For a fun-filled evening for 14-year-olds, take them to the local mall to complete a scavenger hunt. Divide the girls into groups of two or three and give them a list of 20 to 40 items that they must find in a designated time limit. These items should be free and easy to find in the mall, such as a credit card application, a loose button, a makeup sample, a piece of candy, a shopping bag with a handle, a broken hanger, a price tag, a business card and a straw. The girls will have the time of their lives trying to find the items. At the end of the scavenger hunt, the girls can enjoy a meal at the food court and share stories about their finds.
American Idol Birthday Party
Teenage girls love nothing more than to listen to music. The Amazing Moms website offers a terrific idea for an American Idol birthday party that is sure to be a hit. Rent a karaoke machine with Top-40 hits or hire a DJ to provide music for the evening. The party decorations may include a microphone or star cake, a "red carpet" made out of butcher paper, and glitter stars hanging from the ceilings. A nice touch to the party would include having dress-up items such as feathered boas, leather jackets, costume jewelry, sunglasses, a variety of hats and high heels.
Home Spa Party
Every girl deserves a day at the spa. A home spa party is the perfect activity for a 14th birthday party. Invite several of your adult female friends to attend to cater to the girls. Provide a reclining lawn chair covered with a soft towel for each girl. Place bowls of snacks on each chair for the girls to eat during their "treatments." To set the mood for the party, have soft music playing in the background and light candles to provide ambiance. Some spa activities might include manicures, pedicures, beauty masks and massages. This is sure to make the girls feel beautiful and special, and will not be forgotten.
