Please help me with innovative ideas for girls 13 year party!

So in my wisdom I have let my daughter invite a large number of girls over to celebrate her 13th birthday.

Didn't really think through what I would do to entertain them all and now am panicking!

Have medium size house, v small garden. Girls are fairly mature so wouldn't appreciate standard party games I don't think. Dd doesn't want spa/pamper party. I'm thinking they need a bit more than just some pizzas and music.

Does anyone have any wonderfully unique suggestions for themes or activities?

Thank you so much!

Movie, popcorn, twister. Top your own pizza. They will entertain themselves with chat at that age.

It’s does depend how much you want to spend and how many kids.
I’ve got about 10 14 year old girls coming and we are have food, boba, they are having a few party games. Scavenger hunt. Music. It’s music festival themed so there’s flower crowns to make and silly glasses to decorate.
If it’s more than 10 I’d be doing a lot less stuff.

Karaoke? They can sing their hearts out to Taylor Swift or whoever they're in to? You could get one of those mini karaoke machines. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0CJBY3GDY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Or you could do a classic move night - Clueless, Mean Girls, She's All That, etc.

Or a quiz night with questions about pop culture.

Not original ideas but that's my 2 cents!

They'll be happy with pizza and music IME.

Themes are a great idea at this age:

Black and white - hire a limo for an hour's drive around.
Neon - use an ultra violet light and use neon nail polish/ make up and cut strips of neon paper for a huge paper fight.

Themes as suggested above with the movie as part of the event like Back to the Future, Clueless, Mean Girls, Mama Mia. You could download some questions to quiz them on it after.

They could Play a Russian roulette type game with weird food covered in Chocolate.

Or you could Hire a Photo Booth or photo mirror and buy extra fun props (Booths have lots but you can buy extra to suit a theme)

Is the garden big enough for a water balloon fight?

Have done all these for party ideas over the years and all gone down well.

Glow in the dark painting party? 😁
I’ve just started running them and it’s literally the best fun ever for creative girls. My business is called ArtSparks and we run parties all over the country.
