I have a daughter turning 12 this year and she is officially a tween! I’ve been browsing Pinterest for ideas for her upcoming birthday party and thought others might be struggling with tween party themes like I am!

I still want to throw her an over-the-top princess party with all the frills, but she wants nothing of it. She’s ready for something more grown up and hip.

I decided to pull together 10 Tween Party Ideas to help you Tween mama’s out. I tried to find themes that were not too childish, but yet still young enough that you can celebrate those babies one more year before they turn into full teenagers….sob!!
