dude it’s literally a joke. i get it that it’s not cool to joke about suicide but people say that all the time. seriously man that’s being idiotic
Menna Christie says
i agree
Lucia says
What do you mean? You want a unicorn themed party? Cause that would be fun! I had one last year.
emma says
everyone come down this argument started with someone saying they love unicorns and pretty much bianca came up with the thought of suicide
Isabel Young says
What about a Snapchat or Emoji themes? ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Katie says

Rhonda says

Yes that would be great also you would create a photo booth with emoji and Snapchat props
Olive says
these all look like they’re for 6 year olds.
Storm says
agreed.
Alliannah says
Not really I like the brain idea and I’m 12
Emma says
No there all great! Don’t make people feel bad by your negative attitude!
trinity says
I’m 13, these look like overly expensive parties I’d plan for an eight-year-old
Max says
I’m 12 yrs old and i don’t really like the idea of these. My friends and i are into sports. This is a little too girly. The only thing i saw that would work was the ice cream buffet. But this website did give me a couple ideas! (Tip: have more variety. Not just party themes, but party games as well to go with the theme. Welp, good luck and try to expand your website more!
Rose says
Agreed! Some people might like them I guess….. defo not me.
jahkiya says
I agree
Lucia says
most of them look like they could be for older girls. And i’m 12.
Lily says
Definitely not, I’m 13 and everything here looks WAY too young and like its for 8-10 year olds. Maybe some more original ideas other than pizza and ice cream? I definitely know that me and my friends wanted something more exciting and fun. I did an escape room which was really fun and a great idea. Something like that is more original and you don’t see it on every single website. Please dont fire back at me when you read this I’m just giving my opinion as someone who knows firsthand.
Phoebe says
I was looking at bday party ideas with my 14 yo and she loves them.
Sara says
What about a boy and girl party
Maria says
IKR, Sara. I mean, if these are for teens, they should be boy & girl parties, just sayin’. Like, honestly, these really aren’t even teen ideas anyways.
Allie says
What about a Snapchat themed party or even a favorite sport theme! 👻🌸⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🎾🏐🏓🏸🏒🥊🏏⛳️🏊🏼♀️
Madison says
then. About the Instagram thing I would like it I have a lot of pictures on his Instagram like it sent to you we could do for my Instagram thing
Izzy says
what about a fear factor party?????
kendall says
i would totally have all these party’s and I’m 13.
Emma young says
I think the spa day is a good idea
Gemma says
What about a bowling party
Andrea Richards says
i agree they also seem a little more for younger girls i would not use these for a 14 year old
jean says
yeah… im turning 13 in 15 days, i am not into a lot of girly stuff im more of an outdoorsy type. i do already have a couple ideas, but i agree there should be more (not as girly) ideas on here!!!
Nichol Nix says
My step daughter is turning 13 in August.. Gives me lots of planing time.. She is not into girly things so im trying to get some ideas, maybe you could give a couple? She likes to skate but thinking a skating party is to childish even though she likes it… She really doesn’t hang out with anyone except her best friend… She enjoys horror movies and loves panic at the disco the band.. She is not an outdoor girl or sports girl so im having a hard time.. I really want this to be the best day ever for her… Any input would be helpful. Young adults know what other young adults would prefer.. Thank you for your time.
Tahlia says
Hi! I turned 13 last year and it was the best party ever! If she wants to invite a few friends over then she could play a movie that she likes and have music inside and stuff like that. Ice skating isn’t Babyish at all, if it’s something she enjoys then tell her to go for it! Hope this helps!
Cara says
These are all some great ideas, but it’s really going to depend on what’s going to appeal to your child (and friends).
Ari says
This is kind of sexist. There aren’t any sports ideas or anything and you just assumed that “girls love to cook.” Also, I am almost 13 and none of these appeal to me. These might begged ideas for 5 year olds….
Tahlia says
I’m planning a party for my 14th bday but I’m not sure what to do? It will be in the night and all girls and we can watch a movie at the end and have music and a photo booth but idk why else. Any ideas guys?
Laurel says
I think you should add some neon lights before and jam out to some of your fav old songs!!
Claire says
I am 12 and I just want more of a chill bday party not like full blown out and I was thinking kind of outdoor movie night but I can’t find anything I like. any ideas on that ?
Ellie says
Maybe you could set up a projector and a food table? Add in some camping chairs, or maybe some sleeping bags.
Peyton says
As a 15 year old, NONE of these ideas would really interest teenagers. Anyone above the age of 14 would most likely not enjoy any of these. However, if you are a teenager looking for some birthday ideas I have a list right here!
1) Go to the beach or swimming pool
2) Go out to dinner with friends
3) Go to an amusement park with friends
4) Have an outdoor movie night or sleepover with friends
Some of these ideas might not work for everyone, but here ya’ go! These ideas can work for both girls and boys. 🙂
DoradoDante says
That’s all well and good, but my daughter’s birthday is in February. Can really go to beach, swimming pool, amusement park or to an outdoor movie night. Lots of people born October through March. Outdoor activities are kind of out most of those months in most places in our Country.
Lana says
yeah i’m getting ready to be 13 and i don’t like any of them they are not girly enough
Ellie says
You could go to a nail salon and spa with 2 or 3 friends maybe? Just a suggestion.
Sarah says
I’m turning 13 and all of these are too girly and even tho I am a girly girl all of these are way to girly for me plus they are way too childish for me I need this to be a great party because its going to be the first year of me being a teen so I need this to be great…
Connie says
We are thinking of a zip line bday party or a ninja course adventure. My daughter is athletic and in sports as well as music. Mostly they like to hang out. We have done the karaoke and stuff even traveled with friends. I want it to be fun and she just wants to hang with friends. We will have both boys and girlfriends. I try not mak8ng a big deal over this. Late night but not sure about sleepover. Yet.? Kids do eat a lot,!,!!,,
