Your kid is now a tween - 11yrs old!
Well there’s the pressure of having to plan it out but also giving them enough space to enjoy the company of their friends during these times. During this age, they definitely would want to feel a bit more grown up and would want to prove that to adults around them. Here’s where you show them a little bit of responsibility. And of course, if you know you can trust your kids, now is the time to go big or go home!
1. Bonfire Sleepover Party
You can do this in a park with permission or by the beach again with permission and under adult supervision. There are several activities that can be programmed for kids in a bonfire sleepover party. You can engage everybody in a design your own s’mores contest, followed by a stargazing activity, then a ghost story session while grilling hotdogs in open flame by a pit. It’s undoubtedly an exciting idea, and you can rent tents for this event as well as reward winners with badges. The kids party entertainment is no sweat, and the party food is simple and effective.

2. Rainbow Party
Skittles, ponies, unicorns, these are what make up a brilliant and fun birthday party for girls at the age of eleven. The thing about a rainbow party is that they can be both neon or pastels, it’s all up to you how you want to adjust a bright or sweet party theme. It’s definitely going to be fun from the party decorations, even until the food. If you’re creative enough, you can use chevron rainbow patterns from your napkins, utensils and other details against a white background. Making some colourful bath bombs is another creative idea to get the older kids involved!

4. Glow In The Dark Thingies
For a more grown up feel, you can have a Fly By Fun performer serve as a deejay and organize this party in the basement! It’s a friendlier approach to having a house party but with better soundtracks!

5. Hogwarts Party
It’s time to practice those spells! There are absolutely so many ideas that can overflow with this particular theme, starting with party favours in the form of magic wands (prepare an assortment of wands and hold a spell contest), to the creative party food ideas. If you’re familiar with Hogwarts, you can prepare quite a feast for your guests such as Butterbeer, Every Flavour Beans and Chocolate Frogs. Now that’s what you call party food! Of course, the kids party decorations can be an inspiration for many eleven year olds. You can search for scarves in each of the Hogwarts houses and display brooms all over the party venue. You also don’t need to sweat for entertainment. It’s a fitting Hogwarts Party and your guests will be surely surprised to see none other than Albus Dumbledore himself to be receiving his students by the door. You can give Fly By Fun a ring and inquire as to their top-notch entertainers to complete your magic. This age is when the wizards and witches receive their letters of admissions to Hogwarts and this can be your invitation idea.

Here’s a quick reminder for organising birthday parties for tweens: everything does not have to be perfect. It’s important as parents and organisers to also have fun and enjoy these moments. Keep a camera nearby and take photos of these priceless moments. Also, it pays to be practical. If you admit to yourself that you need help especially in the entertainment aspect, give Fly By Fun a ring and that issue will be taken care of. Have fun!
