I want to make a surprise party for my 14 year old sister. Can I get any ideas please? It's a last minute thing! :(

some themes:

Glow in the dark (use glow in the dark balloons, hanging glow sticks, glow everything!)

camp party (find a cheap camp ground close by and pitch a tent, make a bon fire, go all out and have fun)

Rock Climbing (pay for him and all his friends to go rock climbing at rock climbing wall.)

Amature film bash (If you have a video camrea let everyone make videos watch them and take on the persona of a famous actor.

I have two thoughts.
One, if he's in to any particular band/sport team etc., the best way to go about it is to set up the whole area in those colors/themes. For example, my brother's 16th was all about Metallica... my mom had black crepe paper streamers with silver plastic beads and red ribbons everywhere and she rented a strobe light. She cleared the basement (you could rent a place cheap sometimes, or do it in the yard) and had music, a guitar shaped cake and a huge corkboard on the wall with markers, different colored paper etc for people to put up their 'autographs'. she also had a ton of posters from the bargain bins at wal-mart of metallica. if it were a sports team, think like a pep rally theme.

my second thought comes from my aunt. first off, her son was a 'cool kid' on campus. so she played a really good trick on him. she set up this big ol' party with cheapy dollar store ballons, 'sweet 16' plates... THE WORKS. all the way mortifying. posters that said' our little boy!' with blown up naked baby pics, everything. she waited for everyone to arrive, did the whole jump out and say suprise thing, then waited for the moment when he was about to burst into tears, then brought out his present (took all of ten minutes.. lol) then she gave him and his 6 friends movie tickets and directions to the restaurant they were going to eat at. they sent him and the guests with one of the guests parents to have their fun noght out and enjoyed the 'time warp' sweet 16 party with all of their adult friends! a party for both generations!

also, 16 year olds have THE MOST difficult time of keeping their mouths shut. if you don't want your son to find out, better to have the guests parents tell their kids that they'll be busy that night and not say why until after school that day, then keep them away from the phones! lol. parents can tell their kids they're heading to grandma's or whatever, but their's nothing worse than going through the effort of planning a suprise party only to have it ruined by a guest who told him the week before!

Since he is a boy and the big 1-6 that means cars! So a car theme would be good! Go to a party supply store or dollar store to see if there are any racing type flag - like the checkered flag etc - cut out cars he may like from car magazines etc. See if someone can make a cake with a car theme. Hope things go well and wish him a happy 16th from us!
