Stepping into a teenager begins from turning 13. It is an exciting moment for most people as they are no longer kids anymore. If your daughter/son is going to celebrate his/her 13th birthday next, you’ve come to the best place for ideas. Here we have ideas available for people with any kind of budget (high/low)
13th birthday themes
Fairy tale
Your little daughter will absolutely love this idea. You can decorate the entire place with wings, magic wands and even castles. They need not be all costly and made by professionals. Handmade decorations are the nicest and sweetest thing ever. Your teen will absolutely treasure these memories and precious time you put in to make her day special. All the people coming to the party including the adults can wear their favourite fairy tale costumes. A magician will add life to your daughter’s 13th birthday party. A castle cake is something that no teenager can disagree on.
Cartoon Monsters
Many teens will be overwhelmed with this idea. The entire 13th birthday theme can either be Hotel Transylvania and its characters or any other cartoon character your teen loves. Generally, boys tend to love such ideas. Dressing up as Dracula or zombies could add thrill and fun to their 13th birthday party. Halloween friendly food and candies can also add light to your child’s birthday decorations.
Avengers
These fictional superheroes are gaining much popularity among teens. Although Stan Lee is no longer with us, Marvel studios continue to receive the love of millions of people. Your son/daughter would absolutely love to cut a 3D Marvel character cake-like Iron man, Thor, Captain America or any of the characters loved by them. The biggest attraction of the party can be entertainers dressed up as Marvel superheroes.
Gaming
This can be a super easy 13th birthday theme. Most teens are crazy about playing games. You can throw the birthday party at a game parlour or create one at your own house. It is very absolute that your teen will love you for such efforts. Providing them with the latest gaming sets they love can also be one of your surprises.
Destination 13th birthday
Although this idea may not be possible for most people, it also cannot be denied how wonderful of an idea it is. Taking your teen to his/her dream destination will bring her all the joy in the world. Most teens dream about visiting Disneyland in Hong Kong and going there on their 13th birthday would be the happiest moment of their lives. If your child is a Potterhead, taking her/him to the wizarding world of Harry Potter in LA could be the best destination ever. It is an amusement park ride in Universal City, California.
Adventure
A 13th birthday can never go wrong with some adventures. How many teens do we know who don’t love adventures? Well, it is an extremely low percentage. You and your teen can go camping, watch the stars at night, go hiking, climb small boulders and have all the fun in the world. In addition to camping, you can also enjoy a small picnic, sing and dance with absolutely no care about the world for just a single day.
Concerts
This idea completely depends on the timing of your child’s birthday. But just imagine how lovely her/his day will be if you take her to a concert on this day. Your child can sing and dance to the beats with utmost joy and satisfaction. If she/he gets to meet her favourite singer/celebrity on her 13th birthday, what more could she ask for. Your teens would love you for making the day so special.
Sleepover party
What can be more easy and wonderful than this one? Spending the entire day with friends and not having to bid them goodbye would be the best feeling ever. Sleepovers do not really come with sleep. You can arrange midnight snacks, give them ideas to play games and most importantly, if they’re playing truth or dare, respect their privacy. This way your child will always respect you for giving him/her space and privacy she/he requires. They can even watch their favourite movies together the entire night with their friends.
Karaoke night
Just when all the ideas seem to end and fail, this one can never go wrong. Singing gives immense mental peace and is exceptionally amusing in itself. They can sing their hearts out and forget about all the frustration and rage going through the entire year. For once they can stop worrying about what the world will say and judge them. They can live the way they want to and forget all the pending work, assignments and homework they are to deal with.
Treasure hunt
If your teen challenges you of being incapable of surprising them with unique ideas, go for this one. It is more than obvious that it will blow their minds and have their jaws drop in amazement. You can hide the target object very thoughtfully and provide them with clues to find it out.
How can you make your teen’s 13th birthday remarkable?
It has to be kept in mind that the 13th birthday should be more memorable than just throwing a party. You can provide your child with the best gifts possible, throw the best birthday in the entire city or even state, but, only with love and care can it become a memorable one.
On this 13th birthday, tell your child how you feel about him/her. Express your feelings in front of them. Tell them how much you love them and will keep doing the same no matter what. Start sharing your feelings with them. Make them feel that they are the best gift of your life and how important they are to you. Support them with whatever you can. Encourage them in whichever field they’re interested in. If you’ve put a lot of pressure into their little minds until now, correct yourselves. Tell them you needn’t worry about what the world says, you needn’t be the number one. Being ordinary is normal. Enjoying your life is what you should care about and I will always love you no matter what.
You may have the best 13th birthday theme, but without emotions and feelings, everything turns useless and worthless. Communicating with your child and sharing your deepest secrets and desires will bring them closer to you.
Responsibility
The 13th birthday means that your child is already a teenager and soon going to step into adulthood. Start giving him/her responsibilities to take care of. Make your teen feel like a grown-up. You can do this with your own personal ideas like letting them take care of the house when you’re not around, a credit/debit card can also be one of your options.
Conclusion
Your child’s 13th birthday party should be amazing enough to be remembered in the future. They should be happy while recalling this day and telling their 13th birthday tales to others. The fun they’ll have this day can never be forgotten. Turning 13 is a big deal and one should be able to enjoy themselves the most.
