Fancy dress/karaoke/BBQ,

Slumber party with make up etc. pizas slushy vids, music etc.

Girls are dead easy to please really, cos they're much more adventurous than boys. Basically anything that they can giggle and practise being growny up should be great... Just ban boys.

Still stuck for ideas?

a DIY pamper party?

Get in lots of cheap bottles of nail varnish.... facepacks.... sachets of hair conditoner, make 'cocktails' out of fruit juice, fizzy water and fruit. Kebabs out of fruit and yummy bits and have a pamper sesh followed by a posh 'grown up' meal?

I think I had a cheese and then chocolate fondu for my 13th party (it was novel, but it was very sickly....!!)

Alternatively... go back to basics and have a jelly and ice cream party... pass the parcel, musical chairs... we're all big kids at heart... (or maybe thats just me?!)

:j Happy Birthday to her anyway!

I had a DVD party for her and her friends couldnt have it outside, cuz it was December!! We set the surround sound up and left them 2 it. They had a lovely time, with popcorn, hot dogs etc.....then they allc rashed on my living room floor!!! It was cheap and fun!

what about a Limousine party? If you ring around you can get some good prices usually for Sundays, as Saturdays busy with weddings and Friday nights always busy so prices high. I have just booked a new black limo for 7 x 8 yr old boys and mum (can't miss this!), complete with fibre optic lighting, mirrors, Kareoke machine, flatscreen LCD tv's, can't wait!!

well i've order a black stretched limo for the boys and the chauffeur is going to fill it with balloons and party poppers, and he has a selection of up-to-date kareoke songs and dvd's, they are also going to supply soft drinks! I've opted to have mine take the kids and me from my home to a snowdome 20 odd miles away, and he will bring us back a few hours later. Although, my friend hired one just for an hour driving around locally, which worked out cheaper. Try loads for quotes as i got some very different prices!

I hired a local sports complex hall - had great fun, football party for first hour then basketball, but could choose from loads of options - kids loved it and good value!
