10 Birthday Party Ideas That Teens Will Love

Consider stepping outside your regular routine when celebrating a teenager's birthday. The following birthday party ideas will provide teenagers and adults with highly memorable birthday. These ideas fall into a range of price points, but what they share is an opportunity for excitement, sharing and bonding with loved ones.

1. Hollywood Red Carpet Event:A gown-worthy event complete with “paparazzi” photographers to follow the revelers throughout the evening. Consider renting a limousine and doing a drive-through at your fave fast food restaurant.

2. Dance Party:Either in a rented party room, club or any other open space, create a nightclub theme where you'll dance all night. Hire a dj or create your own dance mix to keep the party shaking all night.

3. Pool Party:Whether your birthday falls in warm or cold weather, invite your friends for swimming, barbecue and poolside fun. In summer, it's a great time to spend outdoors. In winter, host a “summer pool party” at an indoor pool and pretend!

4. Karaoke:This is a great way to showcase talents (or lack thereof) in a friendly and hilarious setting. Get a private karaoke room and order in food, or rent a karaoke machine and sing your hearts out at home.

5. Day of Beauty:Book a spa day and enjoy manicures, massages, makeovers or whatever else you like. The focus is on looking and feeling beautiful.

6. Graffiti Mural:Don't worry. We're not suggesting you commit any birthday crimes. Instead, create a piece of art as a group that's not only a fun project but a unique way to remember the day.

7. Chef For a Day:Many cooking schools offer the use of a professional kitchen and trained chef to teach cooking techniques. The chef will guide the partiers in making a fabulous multi-course meal you'll enjoy together.

8. Theme Park:For a day of thrills, how about giving party attendees a day pass to an amusement park? Enjoy the bonding that comes with free falls and death-defying roller coasters.

9. Fine Dining:Consider a meal at an upscale restaurant you'd otherwise never visit. If available, reserve a party room and enjoy a unique dining experience where you don't have to lift a finger.

10. Giving Back:Set aside some time on your birthday to help those less fortunate. Whether it's painting in a community center or beautifying a local park, this can be a rewarding way to spend time with your friends and family. Celebrate with a pizza party for all your efforts!
