Teenage Life

Planning a birthday party for 15 year old teenage girls can be pretty tough since the princess and tea party themes are no longer an option. Gone are the days when planning birthdays was simple and easy. All it required was a few balloons, their favorite kind of cake, party favors, some nice gifts and games, and they were happy. Now that your sweet little girl has grown into a beautiful teen, she might be a bit harder to impress. With everything being showcased on social media nowadays, teens love sharing their party videos and pictures online, which can definitely add to party-planning pressure.

Parents usually have a hard time figuring out what’s “cool” when planning birthday celebrations and buying the gifts for teens, but it’s essential to keep in mind that spending lots of money or renting out a location isn’t necessary to give your teen the birthday party of their dreams. If you are desperate for inspiration, here are some excellent birthday celebration ideas that are not only affordable, but they also guarantee your teen’s approval.

Pool Party Madness

Fill up your local or backyard pool with some oversized inflatables, order pizza, blast some of your teen’s favorite music, and throw the best pool party they could have ever imagined. Include a centerpiece table for guests to place the gifts that they have brought along. If you don’t have a backyard pool, contact your local community pool to host a private party. Just remember to provide your guests with shade, fresh towels, and refreshments. As for the gifts, here are some excellent gift ideas for 15 year old girls.

Bonfire Lit

There’s nothing like a night out with amazing friends, music, a bonfire, and s’mores. Setting up a bonfire is much easier than having to clean up every corner of your house. Teen girls love the aesthetic so decorate the place with a few scented candles, beautiful lighting, a few small colorful cushions with sitting mats, and maybe a few chairs. Have the s’mores ready, some pizza or hot dogs and refreshments to keep smiles on each of their faces.

Hotel Spa Extravaganza

15-year-old teen girls will definitely appreciate the posh ambiance and independence granted for a sleepover in a hotel, especially one with a spa experience. Gather all the spa essentials like face masks, face towels, scented candles, and maybe some relaxing music. You can even go the other route and put on some scary movies while eating snacks and waiting for the face masks to dry. Most hotels have swimming pools or game rooms, giving them lots of activities to involve themselves in.

Field Trips for the Win

Gather all the friends of your teen daughter and head out for some adventure. There are several activities to explore that are exciting and help keep the costs down. Take the girls to the beach, the movies, ice skating, an escape room, paintballing, or even shopping.

Instagram Party

Bring some social media into your teen’s big day, which will undoubtedly make it the most sensational birthday of the year. Grab some photo props from the dollar store and make a prop table, make a backdrop with some beautiful fabric and tassels, order a cake or cupcakes with the Instagram icon and make the party colorful with lots of cushions and maybe even a disco ball.

Keep in mind; the most important thing is to have fun. Birthday celebrations are memorable because of the togetherness and happiness that it brings to those around us.
