teen birthday party idea?

jiggly_ash

im turning 14 on march 2 &+ im planning on having a b-day party
last year, i only had a b-day at my house, ordered lots of pizza, played twister, listened to music, had cake, and thats it but it was fun

i dont want to do the same for this year, so do you have any ideas?
but they have to be ideas that dont involve wasting too much money

thanks(:

Answer
My daughter did this for her last few birthdays:
1- She made invitations out of aprons (from dollar store) and had a cake bake off. All of her friends came and assisted in baking/decorating a 3 tier birthday themed cake.

2- She had a Oouja theme party and had an older cousin come dressed as a fortune teller (or hire a real one) and read her friends palms and hand out fortune cookies.

3- We took her and a few friends to a Japanese Hibachi place for dinner (FUN)

How do you say "You're Invited" in Japanese?

Birthday party for 14 year olds?

birthday party invitation in japanese image

Joyce Lee

I was thinking of having a party at a house at night with strobe lights and christmas lights and a bubble machine and loud music but my friend said that it'd be better if we just went out somewhere. I don't wanna go out to dinner. What is something we can do? Aka: bowling, laser tag, but not that.
Btw: my birthday is in winter

Answer
Skating?

Indoor/roller: Has the benefit that it's less likely to close if the weather turns a bit sour (as long as the roads are clear enough for your guests to travel). If it's for a party you may be able to speak with the owner about selecting specific music, and most rinks I've been to have had strobes and party lights.

Outdoor/ice: Ok so admittedly some ice rinks are inside, but if you want to have a wintery theme it's a good place to start, everyone likes hot cocoa (&those who say they don't are big fat liars). Ice skating is a little trickier though, so there are more likely to be falls.

Either way, if you can access an indoor rink, they'll most likely have a private "party room" where you can bring food, decorate, & have more freedom with music. However, the party rooms usually do cost to rent, keep your budget in mind.

Rent a hall:

If you can spend a little more, you can see if there are any halls that can be rented. You'll have more room than you would in a house if you choose to invite more people, although you usually have to provide your own entertainment. You can either pay a caterer, have your family make all the food, or ask guests to provide food or snacks. One option you can do is to state when you invite someone (invitations help if you can print some) that in stead of gifts meal items would be appreciated (hint: try not to bluntly ask for gifts or food to be brought since it can come off as rude, always try to word it as "any thing brought would be appreciated"). Also try to give an idea of what kind of entertainment will be at the party, such as the skating rinks, or if you choose the hall that there will be dancing, activities/games - I'm 25 and still like playing games at party, forgive me if this makes me a dork.

Even though it's for 14 yr olds, you can still have "drinking games" anything that has a penalty for the loser - Ramunes (Japanese sodas) come in a lot of random - sometimes gross - flavors, but may have to be ordered online

What are some ideas for a twilight series birthday party???

birthday party invitation in japanese image

vampireluv

my birthday is the day after the twilight movie comes out, so we will go and see the movie. after that, i have NO idea on what to do! any ideas???
i was thinking about games with the teams being team edward and team jacob, but i need help!!! please!!!

Answer
I actually had a Twilight birthday party this May. I'll tell you some of the things that we did:

-Instead of TPing someone, you can go FORKing and stick plastic FORKS in someone's yard

-You can get big 3 liter things of soda a print out lables like 'Blood Type A+' and such

-decorate your house like Alice did for Bella's B-day, Japanese paper lanterns, pink roses, Christmas lights

-have a trivia contest, each person can be a character from the book, and you can ask them trivia questions about their character. The winner gets a Twilight soundtrack either from the movie when it comes out or the one that Stephenie Meyer has on her website.

-have Twilight music playing in the background

- Watch Pride and Prejuduce (Twilight), Romeo and Juliet (New Moon), Wuthering Heights (Eclipse) and A Midsummers' Night Dream (Breaking Dawn)

-Serve cake on black plates with red napkins

-Compare the Twilight movie to the book after you have seen it

-If you are going to the midnight showing of the movie, then you can buy shirts for each one of your friends and make Twilight movie shirts to wear to the theater

-Eat apples for snacks

-have a fun debate over Edward and Jacob (GO EDWARD!!!)

-if you have a pool, then you can go 'cliff diving' and jump off a diving board or something

-your invitations can come in black envelopes and be on some really fancy red paper and say something like 'Alice Cullen cordially invites you to a celebratory party for vampireluvrs birthday. RSVP Edward Cullen 555-5555' you can even put a red ribbon or like an apple sticker on the invitations.

-you can bob for apples

-tape a piece of paper to everyone's back, making eveyone a different character. No one can see their own paper, and everyone goes around and asks about their character. the winner can get a prize

-play a temptation game by putting a piece of cake (a human) in front of everyone. The loser is the one that takes the first bit of cake.
-Make 'save the Olympic Wolf' posters that Bella throws away at Newtons

There are endless possibilities for party favors. Here are a few options:

-make and give away twilight t-shirts

-make a scrap book page like Bella does in New Moon. Include an empty space that says 'Edward Cullen'. for the rest of the page, put pictures of your friends and you at the party.

-give away paper back copies of Twilight (that might be a little pricey)

Hope that I helped! Contact me if you need any more suggestions!

What are some fun, authentic elements I can include in a Japanese birthday party?

KH

My daughter is turning 9 this year and will be having a few of her friends in a party room at a hibachi restaurant. While it is my understanding that hibachi grills are mostly an American invention, I would like to incorporated truly Japanese qualities into the rest of the party.

We are starting with origami invitations. I thought about making CDs of Japanese music as favors but I am completely unversed in popular Japanese artists and/or not sure what songs would be good for this crowd.

Any other ideas? Remember these are third grade girls and cheap solutions are always great for Mom!

Answer
The Japanese do not have birthday parties like we do in the West. Parents simply take the birthday boy/girl somewhere fun they like to go or to a restaurant. 3rd graders are not quite ready for pop music so the music part of it is hard. If they were middle schoolers, I would have many suggestions on what groups are currently popular, but 3rd graders would probably be better off with music from anime soundtracks. Some major CD/book/video stores even have an anime section. Find out what anime/cartoons your daughter likes and look for the soundtrack of that and other related shows. Apple's iTunes allows you to purchase songs $0.99 each. Even if you don't have an iPod, you can download their free software and burn CDs of your legally purchased tracks. They of course sell music from many Japanese artists.

Birthday party for anime/Japanese loving cousin... ideas?

Q. My cousin LOVES Japanese things. Any ideas for her party? What kind of decorations, presents, games, food, etc? Speaking of food is there actually such a website or something that has Japanese recipes?

Answer
Be Your favorite Anime character!!-party thingamajigger!
Submitted by Rep. Dragonblade
Party Type: Birthday
Invitation: On the outside, make it a normal envalope, and on the inside, have pictures of Anime/manga characters on the front. Make it so that whe the guest opens the invite, glitter comes out! Have all teh usual info, RSVP, phone #, time, place, date.... And THEN! tell them that in order to come to your party, they must assume the full role, with hair, costume, AND personality of an anime character of their choice!
Decor: Base it around your character. Example: you're being Malik Ishtar from Yu-Gi-Oh, you make everything egyptian-like, and dim all the house lights (if the house is where you choose to have it.). Or if you're being Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke, make everyting forest-like, or you could go for the look of 'Iron Town"....
Food: Normal food, I guess, unless your character has anything "special" planned for the guests {ie, if you're being Giovanni from pokemon....well, you get my drift}
music: No music really, unless it goes with the scene.
Highlight: Keep your character role througout the WHOLE party!Even during presents! HA! {"Mind slave! why did you get me a ___?!"} No changing! Whatever your character would do, you do! Funny if your character is of the opposite gender! ^_^ Also, a parent culd also be a character related to yours and could head some games or activitites. Maybe some "home movies" videos or DVDs of the anime that your character is from! (more on games if you E-Mail me! UnkieMewtwo@aol.com)

How to Throw an Anime Party
So, you want to meet some anime fans around the area but don't want to go to a convention. How about throwing an anime party? At least it'll be cheaper.

[edit] StepsAdvertise the party. Put up flyers in your school (if it's allowed) and around your area. Get some friends to help.
Order or make food depending on how many people you think you'll have. Make some food that would go with a Japanese theme like sushi. Try also to make some foods based on anime like One Piece or Pokemon.
Pick some good anime games. Try BeyBlades, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, or other card games. For video games try (English versions of) Naruto or Zatch Bell. Play role-playing games like Final Fantasy or other series. Another option is, if you have a PS2, rent or buy Dance Dance Revolution.
Watch Anime. If you have something like a projector attach it to a DVD player or computer to watch some of your favorite shows.
Have contests with the games and give away prizes based on the show it's based on.
Have goodie bags. They could have little keychains, cards, or any other little anime toy. And, of course, candy.
Make sure to include music in the party. It could be regular music or anime music. It's your choice.



[edit] TipsHave some of your guests come in costume. It might feel like an anime convention.
Make sure the party is on a weekend or during a vacation to ensure a good turnout.
Make sure your parents know about it or you'll get in trouble.



[edit] WarningsThis might cost a little less than anime conventions, but the prizes might be a little expensive.
