Life is not always rosy when you have a teenager at home. Between whims and mood swings, sometimes we tend to lose the north. It's even worse when it comes to an event that concerns him directly, like his birthday. You must learn to understand their needs and desires, otherwise it's a disaster.
To avoid the worst, here is a little guide that shows you how to successfully organize a pre-teen party , because as soon as he's a teenager, he won't really like this kind of fiesta anymore.
First mistake! In the age of new technologies and digital, which "has-been" person would still send out invitation cards? So stay tuned dear mom. If your teenager is stuck for hours on his smartphone, there is a reason. So, we forget La Poste and the colored cards and we go to social networks to send the invitations. If you want to organize a surprise party for him, do not hesitate to seek the complicity of his best friend to know the people to invite and those to avoid absolutely. Also take this opportunity to create a photo album with memories online.
The place contributes enormously to the success of the festival. So you must not be mistaken. Several choices are available to you. If you're one of those moms who value safety above all else, then stay home. Plan animations like the Twister or even music with a good sound system. But be careful, a problem may arise at this level, particularly concerning the neighborhood.
If the gentleman next door is rather grumpy, maybe you should consider having the party somewhere else. Opt for example for a photo shoot session with pizza party in specialized studios. Several themes are possible:light painting, photo novel or fashion. Otherwise, head to the nightclubs open especially for teens and which offer a non-alcoholic bar, a DJ and various secure facilities with supporting security personnel. It all depends on your budget. You can even hire a service provider if you don't have time to organize everything. Do not hesitate to ask for prices for organizing a birthday party on specialized sites.
Nay! Unfortunately, this is not an urban legend:our young teenagers are real gluttons. In order not to run out of food, plan a good quantity. The advantage is that they are not difficult to satisfy. Cakes, pies, pizzas, sweets or hamburgers will make them happy.
You can also provide sliced vegetables to dip in sauce, mini-sausages, petit fours or even aperitifs made with cheese or charcuterie. And why not opt for a new version of appetizers such as mini-burgers, cheese muffins or even bagels?
Do you want to do it in the original? On this point, we have a few ideas for you. To avoid the eternal chocolate cake, try for example the cupcakes which are particularly trendy at the moment. Or, if your child is a fan of ice cream, offer a kind of "ice cream bar" with cones.
As for the behavior you should adopt:stay close while being distant. It's true that it's a rather paradoxical approach, but the idea is not to suffocate your kid by staying in his paws. Avoid the "bodyguard" attitude, leave them to each other and watch the party from afar.
