Throwing a teen's birthday party takes proper planning.
Properly arranging a teen's birthday party requires proper planning. Make a checklist to help you when arranging the party. Start the checklist for your teen's party a month or two in advance. This allows you ample time to find all the necessary supplies for the birthday party.
Theme
Select a theme for your teen's birthday party. Take into account the age of the teen to ensure you make the appropriate decision. Themes give you a starting point for colors, decorations, cake and entertainment.
Invitations
Create homemade party invitations by purchasing colored poster board and cutting to size. Fold the invitation in half and either print the invitation by placing it in your printer and selecting a graphic, or craft one with markers, glue, glitter and other theme-orientated items. Include an RSVP, as this will help ensure you'll purchase enough food for the birthday party guests.
Decorations
Purchase party decorations in the theme you selected for your teen's birthday party. If you're holding a "diva" party for your teen daughter, include jewels, feather boas, high heels and glitter paper in the decorations. Purchase balloons, tablecloths, party bags and other items according to the theme you select. You may wish to purchase disposable cameras for the birthday guests to enjoy.
Entertainment
Party entertainment is an important aspect for a teen's birthday party. Book your entertainment in advance to ensure the date you selected for your teen's birthday party is available. If you are planning a "diva" party, you may wish to book a karaoke DJ and create a "cat walk" for the teen girls to show off their costumes and creations.
Cake
Every birthday party needs a birthday cake. Select a cake in the theme of your choice, and order it a week or two in advance. This ensures your teen will have a theme-oriented cake at her party. If your teen is having a "diva" party, include the colors pink and purple in the birthday cake, along with a tiara and makeup.
Food
When selecting food for your teen's birthday party, choose theme-appropriate fare. This ensures the entire party is theme related. For a "diva" party, include pink lemonade and finger foods--as divas do not want to get dirty--such as crackers and cheese.
Budget
When arranging your teen's birthday party, set a financial budget. This allows you to verify you are on track, so you do not spend over your limit.
