For my 13th birthday I wanted something special since a girl only turns into a teenager once! But nothing too big. I chose a Bonfire Beach Bash!!! I invited 22 girls (no boys, my mom doesn't really like the boy girl party idea). I handed the invites in a creative way... I put them in a plastic baggy, w/ sand and shells on it to represent the theme! Everyone loved the idea! For the party, I'm having a tiki bar" (really a table with smoothies). And other drinks like sodas. Plus lots of yummy food. But you can't have a bonfire w/o smores!!!! Theres going to be a volleyball net too. (our backyard is pretty big.) Were going to have beach towels layed on the grass for sitting and a couple beach chairs (there is going to be more decor outside to make it feel beachy- you can get this stuff at places online like orientaltrading.com. Were going to have 22 beach towels for them to take home. And a craft were doing painting flip flops plus they get leis too! And lastly to top a party... DO NOT FORGET MUSIC!! lol. I hope you have a great party too! I know I will."
