This sounds like a really fun party. Isn't it great to get awesome feedback? Glad everyone enjoyed it, and thanks for the tips. Lauren, Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. I think the kids really had a great time and I know my daughter did which really made the party preparation worth it. It seems like their youth passes so quickly, I was glad to be able to create a truly memorable birthday for my daughter.
That was very rewarding for me. Please visit again soon. Don't be a stranger! What a fabulous party! This might be the theme for my son's 13th as his friend's are into Percy Jackson too!
My 2nd son had a Rangers Apprentice party for his 13th- has your daughter read those books? Deanne, I give the theme two big thumbs up. We entertained kids plenty of times and gone to lots of kids parties, but this theme really stood out for me after having the party. It works for both boys and girls which is no longer easy in this age group and the kids were VERY into everything.
There was no urging them along. If you decide to do this party and blog about it, let me know. I would love to link up your post as a reference. It sounds actiony though and my daughter likes action stories. I tried to get her to read Jane Austen which I loved at her age and she said Emma was "boring. My heart was crushed. Maybe she'll grow into Austen. In the meantime, I will look up your suggestion.
It sounds like something right up her alley. Thank you for visiting and commenting. And I thought that the Nancy Drew Party that my daughter and I threw for the oldest granddaughter was creative. We are not even in the same league as you. Wow, wow!!
