As the temperatures begin to fall and as winter approaches, outdoor parties become a thing of the past in many locations. Thirteen year old girls still want to have fun parties, and although many activities are eliminated, it is possible to have a fun indoor party while sticking to a budget. Consider the following indoor party ideas for thirteen year old girls, and enjoy planning and hosting a memorable celebration that will not break the bank.

Indoor Hollywood Party on a Budget

One of the best indoor budget party themes for thirteen year old girls is a Hollywood stars party. Ask the guests to dress like their favorite star using their clothing, makeup, and accessories. Everyone will have fun guessing who they are. Have the girls vote for their favorite star, and award a prize to the best dressed thirteen year old guest.

Budget Chocolate Fondue Instead of a Party Fountain

Chocolate fountains are not cheap or ideal for a party on a budget, unless it can be borrowed. Almost everyone loves chocolate, especially thirteen year old girls. Stick to a budget by having a chocolate fondue instead of a chocolate fountain at the party. Melt chocolate in the microwave, and set the bowl of melted chocolate over a larger bowl filled with hot water. Provide the thirteen year old girls with party food to dip such as marshmallows, fresh fruit, pound cake squares, cookies, and more.

Bubblegum Bobbing Games for Thirteen Year Old Girls

Games are an important part of any party, especially for thirteen year old girls. How about hosting a bubblegum bobbing game? Buy a bag of colorful gumballs, and provide each guest with a bowl. Place one gumball in each bowl, and at the start of the game, have the girls bob for their gumball without using their hands. The first thirteen year old girl to blow and pop a bubble wins the game.

Indoor Sun and Surf Party on a Budget

When the weather outdoors is less than cooperative, host an indoor sun and surf party for thirteen year old girls. Fill a small empty wading pool with ice and party drinks. Ask the guests to bring their favorite beachwear and a beach towel to sit on during the party. Instead of beach volleyball, host an indoor volleyball game with colorful balloons. Grill budget priced party food indoors such as hamburgers and hot dogs. This type of party will help bring back a little summer fun on a budget, and thirteen year old girls are sure to have a fantastic time.

Indoor Pink Party on a Budget

Color themed indoor parties are popular with thirteen year old girls. How about throwing a pink party? Ask the guests to wear pink, and serve only pink foods and drinks such as punch, pink iced cake, and alfredo sauce dyed with pink food coloring. Decorate with pink streamers, pink balloons, and other budget décor in various shades of pink.

Indoor Campout Party on a Budget

Camping is a lot of fun for thirteen year old girls, but when the weather outside is too cold or rainy, have the thirteen year old guests camp indoors. Have the girls bring their sleeping bags and pillows. They can do many of the same activities people do while camping outdoors. Tell scary stores around lighted candles, and make yummy indoor s'mores using a microwave. This budget indoor party will be a big hit with thirteen year old girls, and it will be a memorable night for all.

Whipped Cream Gummy Pie Contest

Indoor contests are always fun at parties for thirteen year old girls, especially when food is involved. Have a messy but fun indoor gummy pie contest especially for thirteen year old girls. Place three or four gummy worms in the bottom of foil pie pans, and top them with large spoonfuls of whipped cream. With their hands behind their backs, have the girls try to find the gummy worms using only their mouths. Be sure to have plenty of wet washcloths and towels ready when the games are over. Give the winner of the contest an extra long gummy snake or something else that she will not expect.

Masquerade Party on a Budget

When looking for indoor budget party ideas for thirteen year old girls, how about hosting a masquerade celebration? Have the girls arrive at the party wearing masks of their choice. It is fun to guess who the masked guests are, and it does not cost a lot of money. Take a secret vote and award a small prize to the winner.

Pizza Burgers on a Party Budget

Thirteen year old girls are easy to please when it comes to indoor party food, especially when trying to stick to a budget. Instead of ordering pizza or buying overpriced frozen varieties, make easy pizza burgers. Buy bags of hamburger buns, pizza sauce, and toppings of your choice. Thirteen year old girls love cooking and baking, and these are very easy to make. The girls can assemble their individual pizza burgers and bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about ten minutes or until the buns begin to harden and the cheese begins to bubble. They will love these easy indoor budget party ideas!
