Q. OK so my little sister is turning 12 in June and she needs some good birthday party ideas. She did a swim party last year so she doesn't want to do that again. We have a huge house and backyard. She likes volleyball, dance, the beach, reading, California, movies, make up, fashion, etc. She's really mature for her age too! And she's really awesome so thanks!
Answer
Cookie Decorating
A cookie decorating party can provide a fun atmosphere with a wholesome activity for a group of 12-year-olds. Simply bake a huge pile of sugar cookies in a variety of shapes and prepare large bowls of different colored frosting ahead of time. Martha Stewart suggests also using decorative sprinkles and icing in pastry bags. Cookie decorating will keep the kids occupied for an hour or more, and the cookies can double as take-home party favors. If it's a small group or the kids are really into baking, let them prepare the cookies and frosting themselves.
Themed Slumber Party
Have a themed slumber party geared towards the child's and his friends' interests. For example, have a makeover party for girls where they all dress in their favorite clothes and bring fun nail polishes and hair products. Take a group of boys to a scary movie and then let them camp out in the backyard and tell ghost stories. For a mixed gender party, choose a theme based on a color that the guests must wear and then serve food and provide decorations in that color.
Movie Party
Some towns have local movie theater that allow guests to rent out a small theater for private parties and show a movie of their choice. Rent a theater and show the favorite movie of the birthday person. Twelve-year-olds love watching movies in a theater where they can talk as loudly as they want. This option can be somewhat pricey, depending on the theater--taking the kids to a normal movie or watching movies at home are great lower-cost alternatives.
Rent a Space
Rent a local swimming pool, bowling alley or ice skating or roller skating rink for a few hours for large parties. The kids will love having a space just to themselves and family members. Many of these entertainment spots have private party rooms to eat birthday cake and open presents, which are available at a lower price. Parents of the birthday child don't have to worry about cleaning up too much, and while the kids play, the adults have time to chat with each other.
Hotel Party
Take the birthday kid and two or three closest friends to a hotel for the night. It does not have to be the most expensive hotel in town--the kids will still enjoy swimming in the hotel pool, staying up late, renting movies and ordering a room service dessert.
