Best Birthday Party Ideas for Teenage Guys

1. Pool Party Theme:  Use this pool party concept for your son’s summer birthday bash. You can throw a scuba-themed birthday bash by decking the place out in blue, handing out scuba gear and fins as party favors, and even making the cake look like a swimming pool. Play some pool games and award prizes to the victorious teams.

2. Bowling Birthday Party:  A birthday party with a bowling theme is sure to be a blast for all. To impress the birthday boy, take them bowling at your local alley or set up a makeshift lanes in your living room. Look in thrift stores for vintage bowling pins to use as table decorations. Have everyone who comes to the party sign a bowling pin and present it to the birthday boy at the end of the evening. Put out bowling pin-shaped cupcakes for guests to enjoy.

3. Sports Themed Birthday:  There’s no such thing as a bad sports-themed birthday party. You can find birthday decorations that suit the birthday boy’s interests in baseball, football, soccer, or any other sport.

4. Go Carting:  The last ten years have seen incredible advancements in go cart technology. The safety of indoor go-kart tracks has improved to the point where even the most advanced and rapid of go-karts can be driven without too much fear of injury.  Everyone is sure to be smiling from ear to ear!

5. Camping Birthday:  Throw the birthday boy a camping party if he is well-known for his outdoor adventures. Camp out in the backyard with his friends, or take them on a weekend trip to a cabin.

6. Rent a Movie Theater: Many movie theaters offer rentals! This would especially be fun with a group of your teen’s best friends and family. Don’t skimp on all the treats like popcorn, candy, and drinks!

7. Escape Room:  I won’t deny that I have an unhealthy fixation on Escape Rooms. The rules are simple: you and up to six other people enter a room and have 1 hour to figure out how to escape using only the clues provided. All too often, players are locked in a room and must solve puzzles to find the keys, codes, and clues necessary to escape. Even though there is always an exit available, this activity is still thrilling and fun for groups.

8. Video Game Theme: So, if you have a teen who is a little bit older, you can forego the tacky video game decor and instead set up a gaming area for them and their friends. I’m referring to standard televisions, multiplayer gaming consoles, virtual reality headsets, and more. In the same vein, this could be a fun idea for a “world championship” theme. This is a hip way to maintain the playful and competitive spirit.
