Want to throw your pre-teen the WORST party of her life? 😬
Follow these 8 simple steps.
Whatever you do, DON’T skip #6. 😂
🌷 1. Choose a babyish activity.
Nothing makes a pre-teen switch off quicker than a party that feels like it’s for little kids.
🌷 2. Give her absolutely NO choice.
You choose the theme, activity, guests, everything. It’s only her birthday. 😂
🌷 3. Talk down to your child.
Treat her like she’s five, especially in front of her friends. And if you can embarrass her at the same time? Even better. 😭
🌷 4. Have nothing for them to do.
They can just “hang out”. A room full of bored pre-teens will entertain themselves beautifully… right? 👀
🌷 5. Have absolutely NO structure or plan.
No timings. No flow. No organisation. Just wing it and hope for the best.
🌷 6. START SETTING UP WHEN THE GUESTS ARRIVE. 😂
Boxes everywhere. Missing equipment. Adults running around stressed. What a fabulous first impression!
🌷 7. Make everyone share everything.
Not enough equipment or materials? Perfect. They can spend half the party waiting for their turn. 😬
🌷 8. Choose the cheapest option every time.
Cheapest materials. Cheapest activities. Cheapest vendor. Because pre-teens definitely don’t notice quality… do they? 👀
Want to give her the BEST party instead? 🌷
Do the complete opposite.
Pre-teens notice quality, organisation, choice and how they’re treated.
Treat them their age.
Give them some independence.
Have everything ready before they arrive.
And give them an experience they’ll actually want to tell their friends about. Parents of pre-teens… which one are you guilty of? 😂👇
