Party Invitation Ideas for Tweens

Share your fun and creative Tween birthday party theme ideas with us!  We've listed our favorite birthday ideas for tweens, but are always looking for more themes to share! 

      Polka Dot Party Tweens Theme
Fun birthday party theme that tween girls love!  Everything polka dots and circles! Send out round invitations with polka dot confetti.  Decorate with polka dots of every size and color and place them everywhere - on walls, furniture, fireplaces, floors, tables, counters, doors, driveway and mailbox.  Serve round food - pizza, cookies they can decorate themselves, circle crackers and cheese, round pretzels, skittles etc.  Play karaoke and create necklaces with round beads.  Give away solid color beach balls - have them each sign with a permanent marker for a great tween keepsake of the birthday party.
Tween Auction Party Theme
Fun birthday theme for tween girls and boys. On the birthday invitation ask each tween to bring a  "white elephant" (something that is in good shape but they don't want anymore) wrapped or a sealed in a paper bag.  Give the tweens $20 in play money and start an auction for the unwrapped gifts.  For fun add food and gag gifts to the auction items.  Keep the gifts wrapped and don't let anyone know what is inside until the high bidder opens the item.  At the end let them trade or buy each others' presents. With left over money let them bid on the first or largest piece of cake. 
 
Tween Spa Party Theme
It's a sparty!  Ask the tween girls to bring their bathrobes and slippers to set the scene for this theme -  day/night at the spa.  Set out  different facial masks and peel masks - don't forget the cucumber slices!  Set up different stations for manicures, pedicures, facials and hairstyling.  Let the tween girls rotate to each station every 10-15 minutes.  Have a different color nail polish for each guest and let them try them all.  Or they can play nail polish spin with all the different colors.  Give them colorful emery boards and toe separators along with their nail polish for a birthday party favor Free homemade spa recipes

Tween Fashion Show Theme
One thing girl tweens love to do is show off!  This fun tween birthday theme let's girls dress up in glamorous clothes and add in tiaras, sunglasses, necklaces, hats, scarves, boas, wigs etc. Set up a runway using a red sheet, paper or even a long walkway outside. Let the tweens  take turns walking the runway while someone takes pictures. Place pictures in a album for each girl or give them a CD as a birthday favor. Tip: check out thrift stores for great deals on dramatic clothes and accessories.
Make up Extravaganza Theme
Bring out wild and wonderful eye shadows, eyeliners, mascara, blush and nail polish and let the tween girls give each other fun makeovers.  Take pictures of the birthday party and place in an album for each girl or make a calendar for each one on the computer.  Play
birthday games like nail polish spin and crazy makeup.  Give small makeup bags for tween birthday party favors.  Tip: Check makeup counters in the mall and ask for free samples to use at this tween birthday party.
Tween Mystery Dinner
Fun and crazy birthday idea for tweens.  The tweens are served dinner - but don't know what they have ordered until the food arrives.  Crazy fun and tweens love it!   Directions and sample menu for the
mystery dinner party
 
Scrapbooking Party Theme
This is a fun birthday activity idea for tween sleepovers or longer parties when you have time to develop and print out pictures.  Take lots of pictures of the tween girls at the party playing games, eating cake, being crazy etc.  Take the film and have it developed in 1 hour or print pictures off the computer if you have a digital camera.  Give each guest a small scrapbook and let them fill a page with the birthday party and one with friends.  Let them take home the book for a
birthday party favor.   
 
Self Defense Birthday Party Theme
Some Karate businesses and gym's will teach self defense to tweens.   This is fun and something the tweens can use throughout their life.
Pizza party Theme
Every tween loves pizza at a birthday party, but at this party the whole theme is pizza!  Have a make it yourself pizza dinner - see our food ideas.  Play pizza related games such as: Pizza twister - set out the twister mat and have the red circles be pepperoni, green be pepper etc. and instead of spinning and calling out - right foot red, call out - right foot pepperoni.  Play relay races and have the tweens carry a pizza box while they run or go through an obstacle course.  Make aprons or chefs hats for a craft.   Set out red and white checkered tablecloths and serve a large cookie cake decorated like a pizza. 
Scavenger Hunt
Birthday scavenger hunts can be fun  - especially the mall scavenger hunts!   The main idea of the scavenger hunt is to divide into teams then each tween team races to see who can find (or do) the items on a list first. There are 7 fun varieties of birthday party 
scavenger hunts sure to please your tweens!  
Mall Scavenger Hunts are a fun way to combine two of tweens favorite things - friends and shopping.  We've listed 8 fun mall scavenger hunts - complete with free scavenger hunt lists.  Most require no money and there is one that lists 40 things they have to bring back that are FREE.  After the scavenger hunt meet for dinner or dessert at a mall restaurant and let them tell each other about their crazy adventures.
Animal Lovers Birthday Party Theme
This is a fun and helpful birthday party theme that all tweens who are animal lover's will enjoy!  Instead of bringing a present to the birthday party ask your guests to bring a bag of dog food, cat food, treats or pet toys.  Head out to your local animal shelter (make sure to call ahead first and set up a good time!) and give the food, treats and toys to the shelter.  Some shelters will let the tweens walk and feed the dogs / cats, clean out cages and bath the animals.   Make sure to meet with the shelter management before you go so they will be expecting you.
1 Color Party Theme
Easy and fun tween birthday party theme!  Pick one color and make everything in shades of that color.  If pink is the color then make the birthday party invitations on pink paper with dark pink writing and envelopes.  Tell everyone in the birthday invitation that they are to wear only pink.  Birthday party hats, noisemakers, plates, napkins, cake, utensils, decorations, balloons, crepe paper, gift bags, prizes, food - EVERYTHING PINK!  Simple birthday theme idea, but the tweens will always remember it!  
Crazy Sock Exchange
This idea is best for an all girl  party.  On the birthday invitation ask guests to bring a wrapped pair of new crazy socks.  Buy and wrap a few pair of extras in case someone forgets. Write down numbers (however many guests there are) on pieces of paper, fold them and and place them in a bowl.  Have each tween pick a number.  Sit in a circle and the tween with the number 1 goes first, picks a present, opens it and places the socks at her feet.  The girl with the number 2 can either pick a new package or take the socks of number 1.  If she takes the socks of number 1 then number 1 gets to pick a new package and open it.  Continue around the circle - each tween can either choose any socks that have been opened or open a new package.  At the end #1 can exchange her socks for anyone's in the circle.  Fun to play with socks, white elephants, small gifts and birthday party favors.  
 
Murder Mystery
You can buy birthday theme kits on the internet or at most party stores for a fun murder mystery theme for your tween party.  Serve a
Mystery Food Dinner and hand out small magnifying glasses to each of the tweens as a treat! 
50's, 70's or 80's  Theme Party
Decorate and serve food from your favorite decade of the past.  Have the invitations tell the tweens to dress in clothes from the decade you choose.  50's - poodle skirts and rolled up jeans.  70's - bell bottoms and funky clothes.  80's - big hair and big shoulder pads.  Play fun music and teach the dances from that period.  Karaoke is fun with oldies music! 
Luau Party Birthday Party Theme
Decorate with palm trees, pineapples and tiki's.  Research guests names to find their Hawaiian name and use it to decorate cups.  Play limbo and rent a dvd that teaches how to hula dance.  Grass skirts and lei's are a fun party favor.  Little umbrellas in their drinks will make everyone smile! 
Wacky Party Theme
For this birthday party theme give the tweens a crazy wig, hat or glasses to wear.  Play your games backwards and make crazy videos! 
Tween Idol Theme
Set up a karaoke machine with a good CD of popular songs.  Tip: You can find great deals on used CD's and karaoke machines on Ebay.  Ask which of the tweens wants to be a judge and set them up at a judging table.  Then have the performers come out one by one and sing their favorite song (like American Idol).  Vote for the favorites and have another round each time eliminating one of the performers until you have a winner.
