Hello! My daughter's 12th birthday is coming up soon and I am wondering how to arrange a suitable party for her.
She has just started at a secondary school and was the only girl from her primary school to go there. She has already made a few friends, although obviously these friendships will shift about a good deal over the coming year.
She is still in touch with at least one girl from her primary class and with her former best friend who is a year ahead of her in yet another school (who she is still in touch with and likes but doesn't see very often anymore).
She would like to have a sleepover party.
I have two questions:
- Would it be feasible to mix these girls - have, say 3-4 from her new class, 1 or 2 from her old primary plus the former best friend - or would this make for too disjointed a group? (I think mixing might just possibly be ok for an activity party but not a sleepover??)
- Could anyone give me any ideas as to what to do for entertainment? Go out for a movie followed by pizza? A meal in a restaurant - I liked the idea on another thread of the girls going by themselves - though I suspect that DH and I would prefer to hover discreetly at another table instead of going away and coming back? Any other ideas?
I would be very grateful for comments!
