TikTok inspired birthday party for teens

Whether it's their 13th birthday or a sweet 16, throwing a birthday party for a teenager can be a difficult task!

Trying to find a theme that isn't too childish while still being able to keep the teens entertained isn't easy but we've got a selection of trending teen birthday themes to help you throw a party to remember (for all the right reasons).

Teen Birthday Party Themes

Internet Famous

Got a teen that loves following the latest social media trends and loves filming their own dance videos? Our Internet Famous edit is perfect for those mini social stars.

Our Internet Famous range can work for all genders and ages with bright blues and pinks leading the colour scheme. Discover banners, balloons, backdrops and cake accessories to take your party to the next level.

Minecraft

Got a teenage gamer who loves everything Minecraft? Win the award for best parent by throwing them an epic Minecraft party!

A Minecraft party is the perfect choice for those teens who love to build and explore. Decorate the room with Minecraft themed banners, plates and snack boxes and DIY some giant building blocks with old cardboard boxes and paint.

Set up an immersive gaming area with the blocks you've built and let your teen and their friends build their dream Minecraft world.

Tiki Paradise

Perfect for summer birthdays this tiki theme is great for your teenage daughter who doesn't want anything too childish.

Decorate your garden with flamingo string lights, tropical accessories and of course no party is complete without a disco ball!

As a fun activity host a mocktail masterclass and create some tasty mocktails! We love a virgin Pina Colada:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice
  • Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  • Combine the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and crushed ice in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more pineapple juice. If it's too thin, add more ice or coconut cream.
  • Pour the mixture into glasses. Optionally, garnish with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry on the rim of each glass.

Outdoor Cinema

The only thing better than going to the cinema is creating your own at home!

Use a white bed sheet to create a projector screen and pick up a cheap projector online ready for a private screening of your teenager's favourite film.

Set up deck chairs, pillows and blankets outside and let your child and their friends get cosy while snacking on their favourite film treats. 

Sleepover

Everyone loves a sleepover (minus the parents) and we've got the perfect way to take your teens sleepover to the next level!

Our sleepover tents add an extra touch of adventure to the normal sleepover and lets your kids camp without having to lie in a field.

The plain sleepover tents can be decorated to suit whatever theme your teen chooses and they can be reused year after year so will grow with them and if you have other children they can use them too!

That’s everything! We hope we’ve inspired you for your next teen's birthday, shop our full collection of kids' party supplies and more grown up adult party supplies for the older teens.
