Outrageous Party Ideas
Looking for something different to do for your child or teen's party this year? Then you've come to the right place. The following party ideas come to us courtesy of you – our party-loving pals! We've taken your ideas – added in a few of our own – and come up with the most outrageous parties in town!
-
Play With the Pros
Attend a professional or semi-pro game (this idea works well for basketball, baseball and football games). After the game, have team members give a short "training camp" to teach kids the basic moves. This idea could also work for other athletic events, e.g. Karate, soccer, or your child's favorite sport / hobby. -
Ballet Party
Take children to your local ballet troupe to watch a matinee performance. After the ballet, hire a professional ballet teacher to show the children special moves and a quick routine. Perform the routine for the parents when they come to collect their children! -
Victorian Elegance
A wonderful idea for a summer party! Ask guests to dress in their finest party dresses and treat them to an elegant tea replete with dainty sandwiches and scones at a fancy hotel or restaurant. Finish the party by taking guests on carriage rides through the park. -
Tour of Trains
Take a step back in time and experience the lost civilized mode of transportation. Take a day trip to another city via the train. Have a tour of the engine car, talk to the chief train engineer, and let kids discover what trains are really all about. -
Toys Extravaganza
Rent out a large toy store after hours (we know of someone who rented out F.A.O. Schwartz for the evening!) and let the kids have a veritable field day in the store. After they have played to their heart's content, allow them to select one toy (under a certain dollar amount) as a favor. -
Construction Time
The perfect party for young boys! Have trucks and other construction vehicles available to give rides to the children. Set up a giant sandbox for kids to maneuver their construction toys around. -
Restaurant / Professional Chef Tips
Get a closer look behind the scenes at your favorite local restaurant, and spend a few hours with the head chef. Many restaurants will allow you to watch and test some of their recipes. Wrap the party up with an elaborate feast in the restaurant. -
Fight Fire With Firemen
Take your fireman theme party to the next level and arrange for a tour of your local fire station. Allow kids to dress up in real firemen's coats, hats and boots. Let them slide down the pole, ride the fire engine and watch a short display by the firemen. -
Balloon Adventure
Pack a simple picnic and head to the skies for a breathtaking ride your guests will remember forever. Be sure to inform all guests to dress appropriately. -
Sky High Adventure
Charter a helicopter for the afternoon and tour your city in a whole new way. Take aerial photographs of your home and neighborhood with panoramic cameras, and fly over favorite locations. -
Amazing Animals
Have a zoo to yourself for the evening! Arrange for a personal tour guide to tell special things about the animals, ride all rides, feed the animals, etc. -
Formal Dinner
It's time to dress up! Tell all the guests to put on their finest evening clothes for this occasion. Have a fancy limousine pick up each guest at their home and take them to a fancy restaurant. Dine in the restaurant's private room for the ultimate luxury. - An
Afternoon Indulgence
Perfect for teenage girls! Pick guests up in a plush limousine and deposit them at your local beauty salon. Schedule manicures, pedicures, massages, facials, hair styling, make-up application lessons and body wraps. Finish the evening off looking beautiful out on the town! -
Cinderella for the Night
A Sweet Sixteen favorite! Rent out a large, ornate ballroom at your local country club or hotel and decorate it in Cinderella's favorite décor. Our carriage castle kit, glass Cinderella slippers, and other products will make your child's party fairy tale come true! Offer carriage rides at the end of the evening and mandate that guests don appropriate attire for the occasion. -
Carnival
Bring the circus to your house! Set up a carnival in your backyard and let the games begin. Bring in real carnival rides including the zipper and bumper cars. Hire clowns, have face painting and award prizes to carnival game winners. -
Petting Zoo
If you don't want to fight the crowds at your local zoo, then bring the zoo to your own home! Set up your very own petting zoo in your backyard for your child's next animal theme party. Be sure to have a variety of animals on hand, and include some exotic animals as well. -
Skydiving Escapade
For fearless partygoers only! Check for guest's proneness to vertigo before you venture off with this theme party. Some skydiving companies will even videotape each person's dive – this will make an excellent favor for all the guests. -
Your Own Indy 500
If you're lucky enough to live close to a large racetrack, then it's worth inquiring about track rentals. Many tracks will set up driving lessons, allow you to meet famous drivers and take a ride in a racecar. -
Make Your Own
Rent out your local pizza place or ice cream parlor and invite guests to make their own pizza or ice cream sundaes. -
Amuse Yourselves
Take everyone to a large amusement park for the afternoon. Give kids special T-shirts in a bright color with the party details imprinted on them (this will help you keep track of all the guests). Finish the party with dinner at the park. -
Picasso Party
Spend the afternoon at your local art museum – modern, classical or otherwise. Purchase postcards of famous paintings for kids at the gift shop for inspiration. When you return home, arrange for a local artist to give kids pointers and a quick lesson. Easels for all will allow the creative juices to get into gear! -
Rock Star for a Day
Rent out your local music studio and have kids make their own CD featuring their own original songs. Or, rent out instruments and let kids make their own band and music. At the end of the day, go to a special concert and get backstage passes to meet the band. -
Fishing Extravaganza
Rent a large fishing boat, and have real fishermen help the kids catch large and unusual fish. At the end of the day, take the fish back home, clean them and cook them for dinner. -
Get Down with the Dinosaurs
Check out your local history museum for a party that dates back in centuries! After the museum visit, set up a fake archeological dig in your backyard. Finish the party off with a real archeologist or historian to answer the kids' questions. -
Get On the Air
Visit your local radio station for a day of audio fun! Arrange to have a professional teach kids how the radio equipment works, and let them record their own broadcast.
Golf Outing
Get the group together – dressed in stylish Tiger Woods garb – and head for the
links. Start the outing with a quick lesson from the club's pro, and then it's
off in the carts. Our custom-imprinted golf tees, balls, hats and T-shirts will
make this day on the course one that will be remembered forever!
