Party for an 11 yr old - ideas please!

[Nancycoo]

Im really stuck for an idea for a party for my 11 yr old daughter. We've done discos, swimming pool, house parties, sleepovers whilst others have done art&craft, murder mystery etc. Now Im stuck for something a little different. Any good ideas??

Could you just take a few friends to a theme park or something instead of a party for lots of people?

Makeover/hairdressers/photo shoot

Outdoor pursuits,skiing, go-karting, scalextrix, laser quest

Cooking or cake decorating party

Jewellery making

Ditto Choufleur - small group to theatre, tribute night, theme park etc

Cinema

Bowling

Day trip or weekend to Centre Parcs/Butlins with 1-3 mates?

When my dd was 11, I took her and 3 friends to the local shopping mall, gave each of them £50, told them they were 'on their own' and whatever they bought was their 'goody bag'. They loved this and her other friends have commented on it since. They spent £20 on accessories/tops etc, £5 on snacks and smoothies, £25 in one of those build a bear shops. I took a friend with me, and we were always in whichever shop they were in, but left them to it, and they felt all grown up. We then had dinner at TGI Fridays.
