TEEN DANCE PARTY! For my 13th party we hired the village hall and a DJ. I invited 18 friends plus one of my sister's friends (She doesnt get on with my mates) I put xmas tree lights around the ceiling and a plasma globe in the room with all the food. Speaking of food, we just had crisps (aka chips in the US) dips, fruit and other nibbles available.  We spent 2 hours dancing and snacking and talking, then my mum brought out the cake and everyone took home a piece.  The party was seven till nine. Then I had 3 good pals over for a sleepover. We read mags, gossiped and talked until we all dropped off. OTHER INFO.: My inviations were done on the computer and weren't too fussy or peeps just get bored of reading. Print them out on special paper if you have any- it looks kl. Make sure people arent all eating at the same time and not dancing by not putting too much food out, or anything messy. Plus, dont give a specific eating time or they'll all be stood around waiting for the food!  Now that you're a teen, you don't need party games like pass the parcel and musical bumps, but a dance contest with a cute prize is good. Most importantly, have fun and make sure you have happy guests! 13 is a VIP age. If you only have one good party until your sweet 16, it should be this (LOL)  Have a good party- I know i did!
