Host a movie-theme party. Use the teen's favorite flick as the starting point for the party, and plan decorations and menu items accordingly. For example, if her most-watched movie is "Stand By Me," play classic 1950s music and hold a pie-eating contest. Also, ask guests to dress in costume, such as period pieces for classic film buffs or beach gear for island-based movies.

Plan a spa-themed birthday soiree for a teen girl. Invite all of her closest friends, and ask them to bring their favorite beauty products. Whip up facial masks, and have the girls take turns giving one another manicures and pedicures. Create a spa-like ambiance by playing soft music and lighting candles.

Hold a birthday party at the beach. If the teen's birthday falls during the summer months, or if you live in a warm climate, reserve a spot at your local beach for the big day. Plan a picnic menu, and cook the teen's favorite foods on-site; bring a portable grill if your beach doesn't provide them.

Plan a destination bash. If your teen loves skating, invite all of his or her friends to the local roller or ice skating rink and hold the party there. If the teen loves a particular restaurant, contact its special events team and reserve the entire restaurant, or just a section, depending on how large your party is. Throw a theme park birthday party for adventure lovers.
