Tasha asked:
Occasion: Sweet sixteen
Hi , my mom and I are though my Sweet 16 . And we really don't know what to do
because we want to make it nice but not to expensive. And I don't know where
to start
The Party Girl's advice is:
Start by
deciding what you can afford for the whole thing. Then look at the theme page
for some ideas. You can use all or part of any idea or combine some of them.
Look at www.oriental.com for great decorations and favors. Then pick a place
and time. Then decide on food and games (check out gamegirl for some ideas).
Celia asked:
Occasion: birthday
My sister will be 35 in Feb. need party ideas. We can include the whole family
(kids), or just have friends. (25-45) NEED HELP!!!!!
The Party Girl's advice is:
I need more
information such as budget, date, place, time, etc. Look at the theme site for
some ideas. Also think what your sister would want most, just family, just
friends, or both.
Joanna asked:
Occasion: 16th birthday
I am debating whether to have a costume party or just have everyone wear
dresses for the dance. Also I need a theme!! I was thinking about a Valentines
theme, but I'm not sure.
The Party Girl's advice is:
Look at the
theme site for some ideas. Without knowing any details, it would be hard to
make definite suggestions other than to suggest no costumes. Boys hate that
more than ties.
Neely asked:
Occasion: 13th birthday
What: decorations, games, party favors & fun things to do at a only girl
13th b-day party. something simpleŽ too pricey, yet enjoyable.
The Party Girl's advice is:
You have a pool
so you could go with the beach party/luau idea. Look at the theme page at
those areas: the outdoors, bar/bat mitzvah, your themes. Check out gamegirl.
Water volleyball, limbo, pass the orange, scavenger or treasure hunt. Picnic
type food with lots of melons, pineapple, etc. Look at www.oriental.com for
great buys on decorations.
Jessica asked:
Occasion: Sweet 16 birthday
I am turning 16 in March and I don't know what to do there's not much of
anything to do in Spokane it would be just me and four to eight of my friends
any ideas of what I could do that would make it fun and memorable
The Party Girl's advice is:
first of all, go
to the home partygirl site and look on the left and see if you city has
anything you might like. Then, check the theme page and the gamegirl pages.
Does your city have one of those pottery places where you can go and make
something. Great place for a party.
Alexis asked:
Occasion: 13th Birthday
What do you think is the best theme for my party
The Party Girl's advice is:
I have no clue.
Except for your age and sex, I know nothing about you and your likes and
dislikes. Make some basic decisions first. Look at the different themes at the
theme site for some ideas. Figure out your budget, # of people, time, date,
place, etc. Look at www.oriental.com for great decorations, favors, etc. Take
a look at gamegirl for things to do. Then, if you're still stuck on something,
write back.
Cait asked:
Occasion: 16th birthday party

the bottle.

Look at the
gamegirl site under teen games, mystery party games.
Paige asked:
Occasion: 13th Birthday party
What activates should I do, like concerts, or movies, etc.

at the theme page.
Amy asked:
Occasion: birthday
Dear Party Girl, I am having my 14th b-day party next month and I have no idea
what to do...I wanna invite a lot of people (boy and girl) but I don't want it
to be expensive...I wanna have a pool party but than I have the risk if it
rains and another thing is I am afraid will be doing things at my house that
my parents and I won't approve of...ya know...what should I do?? I don't know
if I should just have a quiet party or a big party? what should be the theme?
PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks, Amy(13/f/Florida)
The Party Girl's advice is:
Why put yourself
in a position of having a party with people you can't trust in you parent's
home and ruining your birthday. I know at your age that you want to have the
"cool" group but sometimes that just isn't possible. Why not just
have a party with real friends who you can trust. Look at the theme site for
some ideas.
Kitty asked:
Occasion: 14th Birthday
I have no idea what to do for my best friends birthday. Last year we threw a
surprise party for her and I don't know what to do for her this year. But
whatever it is I don't want her to know please help me.

Why don't a
bunch of girls show up on Sunday morning in PJs and have a surprise breakfast
party. Have all the foods for breakfast. Work it out with her mom.
Anne asked:
Occasion: husband's birthday

A lot depends upon budget.
Christy asked:
Occasion: Sweet 16 Birthday Party
I am 16 and getting ready to have a party! But I am clueless, what can you do
for 4 hours that will be fun and keep people awake? My favorite color is blue,
I am a dancer, and I thought I could maybe have some music if people wanted to
dance and the only game I came up with is Twister. I will have around 40-50
people there. I want this to be a great party! And I really need some help
with decorations, foods, and just some fun entertainment! I am not the best
party planner! Thanks!
The Party Girl's advice is:
Well, first look
at the theme page and get some idea what direction you want to go. Maybe a

areas for games to play. Once you make those decisions, check out
www.oriental.com for great favors, decorations, etc.

I need some help in general, how to decorate etc.
The Party Girl's advice is:
You could go to
the Barbie area of Toys R us for stuff. Or look at www.oriental.com for great
favors, decorations, etc. You want tiaras, dress up shoes, jewelry, etc. Go to
the craft store and get balloons. After you blow them up, write your
daughter's name in Elmer's and roll in glitter for great decorations.

I need an idea for a large group of teenagers. I really liked the indoor camp
out idea we have a fire place and a living room of substantial size but I
don't know how to incorporate boys into that. Or if you have a completely new

Hi! My name is Megan and I'm having my 14th birthday party in about a week and
a half. There will be about 45 guys and girls there. I have no ideas of what

court, and music. What else can I do? Please help. Thanks. Megan

rallies for game ideas.
Ellen asked:
Occasion: 14th B-day Millennium bash
I am having a birthday/2000 bash and need to know how to play things like an
indoor scavenger or treasure hunt. Also what kind of snack foods are best for
teens? thanks Ellen
The Party Girl's advice is:
Pick out ten
items that have no relationship with each other such as a ribbon,
post-it-note, marble, etc. Hide them on one floor of the house in places where
you can see them but have to look carefully. (Don't forget the ceiling and by
a light switch). Give everyone a list of items and pencil and a time limit and
see who gets the most.
Nicole asked:
Occasion: Birthday Party/ Going Away
Dear Party Girl, I actually have more than one question and I hope that's
alright. Well, you see I'm planning a birthday party and a going away party.
I'm thinking of an afternoon tea but my friends are a bit hyper and is there
anyway I could make the tea time theme have a sort of spunk??? And so I was
thinking that I could just invite them over, have some fun like they come, we
could all invent our own pizzas, watch a movie while eating them, play some
games, open presents...etc. The problem with this theme is that it's boring!
What would I do for the opening? That also goes for the other theme. I mean,
how can I produce a great party with these 2 themes? Can you please give me
some advice? I'd adore that greatly. Thanks.
The Party Girl's advice is:
Look at the
gamegirl site under teen games for some ideas. Blow up a pic of the honoree
and play a game of Pin the Part and then have everyone sign it for her to
keep. You could have make your own sundaes for dessert. See if any of your
bakeries scan photos and if they do, put her pic on the cake. When each guest
arrives, give them the name of a famous person. They can't tell anyone who
they are but everyone has to ask each other questions to find out.
Tammie asked:
Occasion: Daughters 2nd Birthday
My daughter will be turning 2 and I'm planning a Blue's Clues Birthday party
for her. I was looking for something different to do as party favors for the
other children. Do you have any ideas other than loot bags?

My daughter is
doing Blue's Clues for her twin girls next month. There's a ton of stuff in
the stores such as sticker books, rubber figures, hats, plates, etc. Check the
local Toys R Us.
Susan asked:
Occasion: mother-in-laws 60th birthday
What to do for my mother-in-law's 60th birthday party.
The Party Girl's advice is:
I need more
information. Want to do a party or just a great gift? Just women or men/women,
day or evening? Budget? Location? What does she like? Does she have any other
children who would go in on the planning and expenses. Look at the various
themes on the site and once you make some decisions, if you need help, write
back.

Occasion: a friend's 50th birthday
What do you suggest for food and entertainment for a party with primarily
women in attendance?

bachelorette area for some "bold" entertainment. Go to the drugstore
and make up a "care package" of sample size products for the 'aged'
like preparation H and dentucreme. Blow up a picture of the birthday girl and
play Pin the Part and then everyone sign it.

Occasion: 14th B-day
Hi party girl. Ok this is my problem. My parents are very low on cash and I
really want a 14th Birthday Party. I have A LOT of people to invite and no
where to do it. My mom says she doesn't want it in the house for 2 reasons.
One that it's too small and Two because she doesn't want anything broken. I
said we should do it outside but it is winter and pretty cold. The Recreation
Center by my house is like 100 something dollars every 2 hours. Do you have
any idea where I could do it or what I could do? If I have it at night, I'm
sure my parents would be ok with making pasta or ordering pizza.... I need
something fast (because I want to do it during winter break, but I have 3
weeks) and cheap. PLEASE HELP! Thanks you so much!
The Party Girl's advice is:
Do you bowl or
ice skate? You could do it at the alleys or rink. Or you could postpone it
till the summer and have it outdoors.

Melissa asked:
Occasion: 1st Birthday
I am not too sure what theme I should have for my daughter's1st birthday. I
really want her to reflect back on this special day. She was born on Jan 1st,
1999. We are celebrating it on the 8th because the center is closed on the
first. Either way I know we are all going to have plenty of fun. Just need
ideas.
The Party Girl's advice is:
One of the best
themes for a first birthday is bears. there are so many ways to use them (I
did it with my twin granddaughters and everyone loved it.) Bear favors,
centerpieces, balloons, etc. You can have the cake as a bear. Doesn't have to
be Winnie, just cute ones. Be sure to video the party for later and don't
worry, these things are for the relatives and friends and your daughter will
love to see the tape in a year or so, just make sure there's lots of her.
