Tween Birthday Party Ideas - Hannah Montana Theme

One obvious tween birthday party theme idea is Hannah Montana. The Disney phenomenon is a hit across the country with tweens and their parents, alike. With the popularity of the character, the show, and the music, party items with the Hannah Montana logo will be especially easy to come across.

Invitations can be store-bought or made with legally-obtained materials found online. Purple and yellow are the show theme colors, and can easily be incorporated into the invitations and decorating for this tween birthday party theme.

The cake may be purchased at a local bakery. With the popularity of Hannah Montana, they may offer a specialty cake in that theme. If not, you can use a legally-obtained photo of Hannah Montana, take it to a color copy center to have it enlarged to the needed size, then laminate it. The bakery, or you, can use the picture on the cake - even 'framing' it with piping made from frosting. A collage of photos may even be used, or you can make the cake look like a concert ticket or album cover.

Be sure to have lots of Hannah Montana music playing at your tween birthday party, and a showing of a Hannah Montana DVD ready to go. Since the theme of the show is a girl making it as a singer, having karaoke for part of the fun would be a perfect fit - especially if it is using Hannah Montana songs.

Hannah Montana lyrics can be found online for free, and a game can be made of saying part of one line from any of the songs, and having someone try to finish the line.

Another game for your tween birthday party could be for those who are avid fans of the show. Watch several episodes and then create a list of triva questions with answers. Make copies of the trivia questions for all the guests to fill out with their own Hannah Montana pencil or pen (which they can keep). The person with the most right wins a Hannah Montana CD or DVD, or other theme item.

A fun activity would be to have the guests mimic Hannah Montana characters and have the others at the tween birthday party guess who they are.

If you have the funds and time to do so, celebrating a tween birthday by taking the birthday person and a few friends to a Hannah Montana concert is a sure hit.

Kids don't seem to like parties that are too formal, so be sure to keep the atmosphere fun and loose. Have some things planned, but let them 'dictate' what they want to do. For example, they may want to spend the whole time singing and dancing - let them. The object of the party is for the birthday person and the guests to enjoy themselves, and interrupting their fun to 'keep a schedule' or try to fit in other games and activities defeats the purpose.

Best Advice: keep it simple and keep it within your budget. Relax and let the tweens be tweens.
