4. Sleepover party
Speaking of sleepovers, this is another great option for a party theme! Your guests can enjoy all the classic sleepover activities, like eating lots of pizza and watching their favorite rom-coms. Here are even more ideas – 31 fun things to do at a sleepover from My Domaine.
5. A “have-a-12” party
MomJunction suggests this unique idea for a 12th birthday party, “where every item, including decorations, food, games, and flowers come in dozens.” This is an unexpected party theme that will allow for a lot of creativity.
6. Plan a fun (and probably messy!) arts and crafts party
If your kid is on the crafty side and likes to draw, sew, make friendship bracelets, and/or other artistic activities, throw them an arts and crafts-themed party with tons of craft supplies and different projects that guests can choose from. You can even have a variety of tables set up as “stations” for different projects – guests can mill around from one activity to the next and will be constantly entertained.
Make this idea even more special (and much easier on you, frankly!) by booking an arts and crafts workshop rental venue through Peerspace. For instance, our friends in Fort Myers, FL can rent this colorful and unique boutique art workshop. It offers the equipment you need, as well as optional guided classes, all in one fun setting.
7. Karaoke birthday party
Is your kid someone who loves to be the center of attention, with a flair for the dramatic? Getting together with friends to do some karaoke would be the right choice. Although you can have this kind of party at home with the right sound system or a karaoke machine, your neighbors might not like the noise. Renting a karaoke room will render this a non-issue and will make this 12th birthday party idea even more celebratory.
For instance, this large karaoke party room in Austin, Texas, is geared toward birthday celebrations and parties of all kinds. It comes not only with a new karaoke system (“the best” in Austin, the hosts write!) but also a large TV, karaoke lights, a fog machine, and more. This karaoke room is in a restaurant – an Asian buffet with a huge selection of dishes that partygoers may want to partake in, solving the issue of what food to serve at the party.
“Jade went absolutely above and beyond for our group,” shares a Peerspace reviewer who booked this karaoke room for an event. “Thoroughly so impressed with the service and ease of doing business. We will definitely be back! Thank you Jade! We love you!”
8. Spend an action-packed day at the arcade
Rather than having a party at home, what about taking your child and a group of friends to the local arcade to play their favorite video games and try out some new ones, too? They’ll have a blast!
9. Paintball or laser tag
Some kids want nothing more than to play paintball and laser tag on their birthdays. And similar to spending the day at an arcade, they’ll make for super engaging and exciting outings that are also quite easy to execute.
If you’re in the Las Vegas area, consider booking time at this black laser tag arena at The Lakes. It actually provides you with an immersive laser tag arena and an arcade, for plenty of action-packed birthday fun for all!
