12th Birthday Party Ideas

My niece wants to have a last minute birthday party, (in August or September), but is concerned about the money, and wants to have something that she can afford with her allowance which is $20.00 a week. She is willing to save up as much as she can for this. Have any ideas?

Well, without knowing what she likes to do or how many people she is planning to invite, here are some ideas:

Chef Party: Have the kids make their own pizza, decorate their own cupcakes, or design their own sundaes.
I know that Dance, Dance Revolution is popular (if she has a Wii), as is Karaoke. You can buy inexpensive Karaoke CDs.

for some great ideas.

This woman threw an American Idol' slumber birthday party for her 11-year old for $66.00 : http://beingfrugal.net/frugal-tween-birthday-party/

For a spa birthday party or for party favors, know that Dollar Tree has lots of cute lotions, spa stuff (gloves, manicure and pedicure sets,nail polishes, etc.) for a dollar each.

Good luck! :)
