That depends on how old you are.  I mean, if you're a little kid than Chuck E Cheese is great but if you're 30, a restaurant or club might be more appropriate.  D&B was a good suggestion, though.

Get a mini keg, those are fun, or do a scrapbook of the birthday party, keep all the labels of the bottles. I say do a birthday keg instead of a birthday cake. Or you could try lining up bottles in the shape of the numbers or you could make a cake that looks like a bottle of alcohol, wine liquer, beer, whatever. \n p.s. anyone that doesnt drink would think that it is not so fun after a while. but if you drink then the more the better!

if this were a 5 year old I would say the person hosting the party needed to say what to do -- given this is a twleve year old, unless it is a surprise party, why not use this as a learn-to-budget opportunity while allowing the 12 year old to be creative & expresive 7 have some say so -- set a buget & take them shopping

I like the party idea and the skating idea.  Going to a concert might be too pricey for 13 year olds.  But if you like museums, that's a great way to spend an afternoon.  I suggest doing somehting you both like, doesn't cost a lot of money, and gives lots of opportunities to laugh, converse and have a great time.  How about taking a walk to a local park to play tennis or basketball?

Try a little-kid gym.  They usually run the kids ragged for an hour, then retire to the cake and ice cream room.  My granddaughter wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

I once used my kids age as a theme for the party "12" I hid numbers in balloons 1-100 some would have stupid slang jokes in them...the one with the number "12" was the lucky balloon. The winner recieved a dollar store purchased fm radio...dollar store is a great place to find little pre teen gadgets for low prices...cd players blah blah\n\nU also had to come to the party wearing "12" of the same object-hats, buttons, etc the most creative one a prize...this kills a lot of time...the voting-catwalk runway show lol...it's really funny what kids do when put on the spot!\n\n12 chiars for musical chairs "of course we played hip hop or LP" to make them feel a bit  more grown up and not  so childish about the game.\n\nlast but not least "12" eating hotdog contest...if u could eat 12 u won the ultimate prize...once agian, a kill some time game!  "I can't remember what the gift was...but it was cheap and most of the kids wish they would have won it. \n\nWell good luck-hope I helped a little bit.

For my daughter we had a pizza/karaoke/slumber party and everyone had a great time. It was the funnest party she ever had. You could also do a throwback party like a 50's sock hop complete with burgers and milkshakes and show the movie Grease, or a 70's hippie party or disco and have veryone come in costume, or an 80's rocker party.

Wear a dress - something nice.  The proper dress for a synagogue is "dressy" but not "formal".  If you like, "cocktail" or "business" attire would be appropriate.\n\nYour parents should only come if invited specifically.  At most bar / bat mitzvahs, a very large number of the invitees ARE boys and girls near in age to the boy/girl being honored that day.  So you will have plenty of company!\n\nAfter a synagogue service, likely 2 hours in length (maybe less, probably not much more), there will be a party where you can eat, socialize, and dance with your friends.  The party will likely go another 3-5 hours, when you include the meal.  Of course, you should not be shy about asking his/her parents.  They would know best of all!\n\nLast, it is appropriate to bring a small gift for the occasion.  A gift certificate or small item less than $25 is completely appropriate.  Maybe a CD, DVD, or game?  Or, if you don't know what to get, that certificate could be a lifesaver for you.\n\nThese occasions are much more about the younger invitees having fun than the older ones.  Some parents hire professional dancers to help entertain (and to show the kids a few moves) and other parties go even further.  So, go, have fun, and dance with a boy you like!

Take into consideration the age and sex of the person who is going to be occupying it.  For example, a 6 year old girl would like pink things and doll houses.  A 15 yr old boy would like a video game room or sports.  Those all play into the factors.  With a little immagination, Im sure you can come up w/ something fantastic.

Post what their ages are in your additional details and i'll be able to give better advice. BLESS YOU WOMAN. You are one brave soul! My children are 9 and 10 so I'll have to go with what I would want to do. BOWLING. Both sexes like it and you don't have to do much entertaining. Start making our a guest list now. The party is going to be in February but start organizing the details now. I'd make sure to buy canned pop. It's less of a mess and it will save you time. Ask your child what they want as far as cake and ice cream is concerned. Also, I always recruit a mother to help me out. It's usually my sister and my aunt.

I would call this place and see if they have any, or look up party stores in your yellow pages and start calling around.\n\nhttp://www.balloonsny.com/

Well, you could prepare some food and decorate your house with banners and balloons I suppose. Have some music prepared as well. Then invite over some of your friends and relatives to celebrate with you. That's pretty much what a typical birthday party is like. \n\nIf you really want you could also plan out some games and other fun activities to have. Or maybe even have a live band or dj.
