Names for a Wacky Teen Party

An engaging and supervised teen party will allow kids to spend time together without turning to alcohol or drugs. Themes for teen parties can be found everywhere. Mimic a large festival, such as Mardi Gras or let a decade inspire you and throw a roaring ̵6;20s party or a ̵6;70s disco party.

  1. Upside-down and Inside-out Party

    • Turn your teen̵7;s world upside-down with this wacky theme; the possibilities to turn things upside-down and inside-out are endless. Start by sending invitations with the message written from bottom to top. Decorate by attaching balloons filled with regular air to the ceiling and running streamers along the floor. Turn furniture upside-down if you are feeling particularly ambitious. Have guests wear their clothes inside-out and serve them upside-down cake before they eat the main course. A backward relay race or obstacle course are possible activities.

    Murder Mystery Party

    • Working to solve a mystery keeps teens engaged. Have fun developing a story that reflects the personalities of your guests. Then set the scene and provide costumes, evidence and clues. This party can be scary or just mysterious, depending on the preference of the kids attending. Teens can solve the mystery in teams or as individuals. After the mystery is solved, serve food and listen as the kids discuss what steps they took to find the ̶0;murderer.̶1;

    H2Whoa!

    • Cool off on a warm day with a water fight.

      If the sun is shining and weather is warm, throw a water-themed party called H2Whoa. Get out the garden hose and provide guests with all the water they need to cool off. Fill kiddie pools so they can fill Super Soakers. Provide water balloons, slip-n-slides and squirt guns and watch as everyone gets soaked. Encourage guests to wear bathing suits or clothes that can get wet and ask them to bring beach towels or provide enough for each guest.

    Teen Choice Awards

    • Host an awards ceremony and allow your guests to pick the winners. Pass out ballots to all the teens attending and ask them to vote for a number of categories. Some suggestions include most likely to be famous, best dancer and best comedian. Be creative and keep your guests in mind when thinking of categories. Have a trophy or prize for the winner of each category. Encourage the winners to have fun while giving their acceptance speeches. You can even roll out the red carpet for teens when they arrive. Other parents make great paparazzi!
