How to Plan a Perfect Teenage Birthday Party

Whether it is a bowling, karting, paintball, mini-golf, or laser tag that your teen fancies, these all are perfect activities for the birthday party. Book a full slot at the venue of your choice so your party enjoys their game in privacy, then proceed to the function room for food and a cake moment. Let them blast their own music there or get a DJ to play a set for them to finish the day on a high note.

Watching the latest big hit or your child's all-time favourite show in the intimate private cinema room is a great idea. Hire it with a lounge space to host your party meal there, and opt-in for an elevated fast-food menu with burgers, tacos, and milkshakes.

To make it even more special, arrange a dress-up corner, or style the whole event as Oscar's night. Gather the party at your house to arrive at the cinema in a limousine; proceed to watch the movie and host your personalized mini-award ceremony. Then, let the party enjoy non-alcohol bubbly or mocktails to celebrate their victory, and capture all the happy winners in a bespoke photozone.

If your teenager loves dancing and clubbing, throw them a disco-themed party. Go retro if they are into it or make it look trendy with a neon setup.

For decorations, think: a personalized photozone, a massive dance floor, LED lounge furniture and DJ booth to set the mood. For entertainment, go for a DJ; invite a party host who can get the crowd dancing or book professional street dancers for a workshop; invite a live band to play a set, and finish off with a paper disco.

Extra points if you can secure the perfect venue for that celebration: we've hosted a bunch of disco parties, including that Neon 18th birthday party and that retro-Disco extravaganza, but the one that stands out is the birthday party celebration at Raffles Chelsea.

A legendary nightclub has been the go-to party scene for the royals and A-list celebrities back in the 1970s and 80s. Now, it is one of the most exclusive and intimate nightclubs in London. Having a 13th birthday party celebration there was a dream for young Nick and his friends.

Let them sing along to their favorite tunes in a party room in a karaoke bar with a professional sound system and the best music library. Add some personalized décor and order a bespoke cake to make this party stand out.

For an extra special experience, why not take them to a professional song recording studio instead? At our karaoke parties, the guests get a chance to record a couple of songs of their choice and get the track mixed and edited by a professional music producer. While he does his magic, we take the guests to a party room for a quick bite and a cake moment. A photographer is there to capture all the important moments and the party host won't let anybody get bored.

Which girl does not love a pampering party? A popular theme for the girls-only teenage celebration, a beauty party can be set at your home or in the salon. Either way, a few masters take care of pampering the guests and offering them all kinds of beauty services from manicures and hairstyling to skincare routines and makeovers. Throw in a dessert bar with pampering-themed cakes and biscuits; and a dress-up corner. For a cute gift for all guests, order personalized matching bathrobes or pyjamas.

Once all the guests are pampered, proceed to party elsewhere or arrange a photo session with a professional photographer. Check out our recent Fashion party here for more inspiration. Staying in? Also great, make this pampering party a sleepover. Popcorn and movies; board games and scary stories will make it a night to remember.
