When children turn 11, they often enjoy celebrating birthdays with extended family and friends, though not necessarily at the same time. Consult with your tween about managing the guest list or having a few celebrations, and then brainstorm a special 11th birthday party. Whether you invite family or not, make sure you or another responsible adult stays present for the duration of the party.

A birthday party for your 12-year-old requires solid planning to make the event feel festive and not too childish. Before staging a big bash, consult your 12-year-old. Some tweens prefer a small gathering away from your home, while others want a blowout at your house or at the park. Either way, selecting an interesting theme, activities, decorations and menu will make the event memorable.

A baby’s first birthday is cause for celebration. Keep in mind, however, that babies get overstimulated with too many guests or too long a celebration. Plan a laid-back afternoon in the park with a few family members and friends or a backyard garden party with snacks and fun activities. If several babies, toddlers and children will attend, set up some simple, unstructured party games to make the day special.

A 14th birthday party requires some thoughtful planning. Encourage your child to make some of the key decisions for the event, including the guest list, the timing and the theme, but make sure the ideas meet with your budget and your approval. Teenage birthday parties often contain the same elements as those for younger children, including decorations, food, cake and activities, but the elements are less cartoon and more “cool,” often with pop culture references.

Planning activities for a tween’s birthday party should include putting a new twist on traditional children’s games and introducing more mature games for the tweens to feel slightly more grown-up. Have a variety of games planned in case any of them fail to entertain your child’s guests. If one game fails, you can quickly move on to the next.
