finding party themes for teenagers isn't rocket science

Check the Entertainment Page for Teen Party Themes

If you’re in charge of the soccer team slumber party, look at the entertainment page of newspapers or magazines for teen party themes.

Movies are full of party ideas. Animal House showed us how to have a toga party and now Princess Diaries 2 has given us the best sleepover party ideas ever. If you want ideas on how to throw a party for teenage girls, rent that movie and take notes.

Note 1: Every good sleepover needs some karaoke

Borrow, rent or buy a music machine for your teen party. Have an American Idol type competition (see, another party theme idea from the entertainment pages) or just an informal sing-along. Give each party guest a new hairbrush as a favor from the princess party. She can use the brush as a microphone now and a beauty tool later.

Note 2: Mattress surfing rocks!

You may not have a grand staircase at your party, but find some space for active, fun party games. If you have a fairly wide stairway, let girls slide down on cardboard. Place a mattress at the bottom for a soft landing. If that’s outside of your comfort zone (or your insurance liability coverage) give the party guests squirt guns or silly string and send them outside.

Speaking of mattresses, drag several mattresses or futon pads into the living room or den for the sleepover party. Teens can lay sleeping bags on the mattresses rather than the floor. Everyone (including parents) will sleep better.

Note 3: Teenage Girls like food, makeovers and movies with cute guys

Take some party planning hints from the movie scene where the princess is looking at pictures of potential prince charmings. Put out the basic party food (popcorn, pop and chocolate) and put on the chick flicks. Check the entertainment pages (or just ask your teenage daughter) to find out which movies star the cutest guys.

While the movies are playing, have all the supplies for facials and manicures available and you’ll have the ultimate teen girl’s party.
