One of my closest friends has two tweens who both have birthdays in the next month. We were talking about what she should do for them this year - a simple sleepover party with just a few kids or something out side of the home.
Since this is Thursday, I am sharing our tween birthday party ideas with you as part of my Thursday Thirteen post (it’s the last one for the official site). Depending on where you live and what season it is, some ideas will make more sense than others.
All of the following are destination party ideas as opposed to themes for a home party (we’ll do that in the future). To maximize the fun and not blow your budget I would recommend limiting the number of guests to 3-5 (remember, even numbers work best).
- Go bowling - call ahead for group rates, flat rate specials and other promotions
- Take in a movie
- Have a swimming party or go to a waterpark (indoor or outdoor)
- Go snow tubing
- Mini-golf is always fun
- Go rockwall climbing (check your local gymnastics center - many of them have these now)
- Take in a sporting event - whether a college, semi-pro or pro team - they are all fun
- See a show at a community theater - some have matinée performances that include lunch
- Go ice skating or roller skating
- Got older tweens/teens who like to cook? Have a party at one of the make and take dinner establishments like Dream Dinners or similar.
- Have a cookout or picnic at a local state park or lake
- Visit a museum
- Have each guest bring cat or dog food in lieu of a gift and take a trip to your local animal shelter.
Let’s add to this list!! What other destination party ideas have you tried, liked, or thought of?
