dd is going to be 13 soon and I was wondering what party to throw. I have asked her but she doesn't have any ideas. Nothing to do with make up or discos. dd does not like sleepovers and has a friend with severe asthma and a leg and foot problem (all same friend). Thanks.

Ten pin bowling parties are popular around us. Could your dd's friend manage that?

Or a trip to the cinema for a few of them?

Roller skating
Trampolines
Climbing wall
Book a table at Pizza Express or somewhere and leave them to it.

I was wanting to do a Pretty Little Liars Themed party for mine this year, she's the same age, loved the idea, but she's injured herself & looks unlikely to be well enough, so now wants something really small instead


In the show, it's basically a Halloween fancy dress party in a train carriage, with a few PLL surprises thrown in - but easy enough to mimic - I was looking at doing it on a static bus

Angrydd doesn't want bowling or laser tag as did those for the past 2 years.I was thinking we could do something at home

it's a difficult age for it

think we did one of those Lush parties then. I can't stand the smell of the place but they spoilt dd and her friends rotten and they had a lovely time

My dd will be 13 next bday and she wants to go ice-skating.

I am going to try to persuade her down the roller skating route because it will be easier to get to from where we are and a lot cheaper.

I would see your dd not liking sleepovers as a good thing! Agree it is a difficult age!
