15th Birthday Party Ideas

A party is fun only when it is planned well, isn't it? Planning is of utmost importance if you want your guests to be comfortable and want them to have a lot of fun. Like the cliché goes, 'If you fail to plan, you plan to fail'. There are a lot of things that you need to consider when you plan a teenage party. Few of these things include the invitations, the theme, the favors, the games, etc. In this article, we've made it simple for you. Given below, are three themes. Choose one theme that you like, and you will find an invitation, some favors, a few recipes and some games related to that theme. From the beginning, to the end, you can plan everything right now. Even if you have just a day to go, this is all you need. Choose a theme and just follow the rest. There! Your work is done.

Themes
#1 Vampire & Werewolves
With the increase in vampire movies and television series, this theme will surely be a success at your party. Ask everyone to dress up as a vampire or a werewolf. The vampires can wear flowing capes, red lipstick with a little makeup and maintain their modern attire. Or, they can opt for the traditional Dracula attire too. Since everyone will mostly be wearing red and black, try to have your party indoors in an air-conditioned area.
#2 The Carnival
Many 15 year olds prefer this theme over most others. If you have a garden or a lawn, one of them will serve as a great venue for this party. Throwing a carnival-themed party is not only easy, but also a lot of fun. The main elements of a carnival party are masks, a parade and a street party in public. Try to inculcate something similar in your party. Decorate the venue in bright colors with lots of balloons, drapes, booths, small floats and other such decoration.
#3 The Hollywood Red Carpet
Who doesn't want to dress up like a celebrity? We all have as children and most of us still do. The Hollywood Red Carpet theme is for those who love the limelight. Ask all the kids to dress up as their favorite celebrity. If the celebrity in question has a very common wardrobe in his/her personal life, the kids can wear a costume s/he wore in a movie. Have a red carpet at the entrance. Cut out a lot of illustrations of cameras and hang them by your door. Decorate the venue in a very subtle and elegant manner.

Entertainment
For each of the themes mentioned in this article, we have three games that you can choose from. Of course, you can play all the three if you wish to. You can also make a few changes to them if you want.
#1 ...for the Vampire Theme
A scary and spooky Treasure Hunt will be a great game to play if you choose this theme. All the clues have to relate to the theme and the treasure too, has to be in relevance of the theme. Another game you can play, is Vampire Tales. Everyone has to tell a tale they have made up on their own; a scary one of course. The one that sounds the scariest, wins the competition. One more game is the Name the Vampire. Here, you describe a vampire character with the help of hints and no direct information. The person who guesses first, wins.
#2 ...for the Carnival Theme
A carnival is a game within itself, isn't it? You can start entertaining your guests with a Juggling Competition. You can ask the guests to juggle anything from simple items like balls to difficult things like bottles. Another game relating to this theme is Pop the Popcorn. Pass a bucket of popcorn in two groups, sitting in a circle each. Every person has to have just one popcorn and pass the bucket. Whoever finishes first, wins. Hoop a Loop is another fun game. Actually known as hula hoop, this game involves looping a hoop around your waist. Whoever does it the longest, wins.
#3 ...for the Hollywood Theme
A Hollywood Quiz is a great game for this theme. Have a round of questions based on movies. Whoever answers the fastest, wins. We also know how a few film lines have made a mark on our memories over ages. A game relating to these lines, called Whose Line Is It Anyway?, is what you need. You need to speak a famous line and the guests have to guess who said the line and in what context. Another game is From Start to End. In this game, you tell everyone the start and end of the movie in a gist. Again, whoever comes up with the right answer first, wins.
