If you noticed, I am a fan of good home holidays, so the lion’s share of the ideas on my site are dedicated to them. Here are free quest scenarios that you can organize yourself!
Invitations for friends
In the modern world, invitations have long become obsolete. Nowadays teenagers invite each other to visit via instant messengers or calls. But no one forbids you to stand out and make original and beautiful congratulations for the holiday.
You can order greeting cards from a specialized printing center or make them yourself. You can print an interesting photo on the invitation, make an original collage and veil the text in accordance with the format of the party.
The birthday girl can give invitations personally or send them to guests at their home address. This way, the birthday acquires a more solemn status and will become a truly festive event, and not just a banal friendly get-together.
Fun program with presenters
Yes, exactly with the presenters. These are not animators or clowns who entertain with children's games, but they are not boring wedding toastmasters either. These are young guys with a good sense of humor who will hold age-appropriate games and competitions. Such that you can laugh and get to know each other even more.
I can name Moscow prices:
- 1 presenter for 1 hour = 5000 rubles
- 2 presenters for 1 hour = 10,000 rubles
- 2 presenters for 2 hours with a cool show program “Crocodile” or “Mafia” (lots of props, additional competitions, surprises) - 20,000 rubles. Call us, we will tell you more details.
Emotions at such programs are always very vivid, and then teenagers themselves conduct similar shows among their friends. Here are examples with prices.
The Hip-Hop Party and Photo Party are particularly successful.
Instazone for photos
Girls simply love to be photographed, and even more so, upload a cool photo to Instagram from their birthday. Therefore, it will not be possible to avoid creating an original photo zone. On the contrary, if you make a beautiful photo zone, your daughter will only thank you.
There are dozens of options for a photo zone. You can order the creation of decoration from specialists, or you can do it yourself. The photo zone can consist of flowers, the inscription “Birthday (name of the birthday girl)”, “Happy Birthday” and others. You can make a themed decoration, for example, in the style of TV series (Elite, Money Heist, etc.). You can attract animators for the photo zone who will be able to enliven each new photo with their presence.
If your budget allows, you can order an on-site insta booth that will immediately print photos for guests as a souvenir. The hero of the occasion and all her friends will definitely appreciate such a surprise. But check in advance the schedule of the on-site photo booth and the cost of its services.
Should you invite relatives?
As a parent, you may feel obligated to have parents present at your teen's birthday party. But remember that first of all, this is your child’s holiday, and only then yours. The birthday person wants to feel in the center of attention and understand that their opinion is taken into account. Therefore, discuss the presence of relatives at the event with the hero of the occasion.
If a teenager does not want to see relatives at the holiday, but prefers to have a youth holiday, then divide the celebration and organize family gatherings on another day.
Competitions and scenarios for the birthday of a 14-year-old girl
Entertainment programs are an important component of the evening. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare competitions and games for the birthday girl and her guests in advance. Choose entertainment that is age-appropriate for the group. Don't underestimate teenagers; they can play quite complex and at the same time interesting games at that age.
For home
Pantomime
The competition is ideal for large companies and a home atmosphere. A dozen pieces of paper with the names of the items are placed in the box in advance. The participant’s task is to pull out a piece of paper and draw the object indicated on it. The catch is that you can't use your voice, arms or legs to demonstrate. All that a participant has in his arsenal is his facial expressions.
find me
The competition resembles a kind of quest. In advance, some objects, for example, flowers, are hidden throughout the room for the players. After which the team members must begin searching for lost items. Whoever can find more “treasure” wins this difficult detective battle.
In the cafe
Singing item
All guests stand in a circle to start the game. Choose a leading object, for example, a glass or some clothing accessory. Then they turn on the music, and they begin to pass the object to each other. As soon as the music stops, the person in whose hands the “leading” object remains must perform any song for the birthday boy. If a participant refuses to sing, then the other players give him a task.
Congratulate the birthday boy
For the competition, you need to prepare 2 boxes in advance, one will contain all the names of the guests, and the second will contain options for congratulations for the hero of the occasion. So the birthday girl will draw the name of the person who will draw the task. The tasks will include the following options: sing a song, dance, recite a poem, upload a joint photo to social networks, etc. Such a competition can liberate the company and put the birthday girl in the spotlight.
Outdoors
Hide and seek
No matter how trivial such a competition may seem, it will always be relevant for teenagers. You can limit the range of territory in which you are allowed to hide. You can also diversify the game, for example, with a specific task for the driver: find a person by elements of his wardrobe, with his eyes closed, by his voice, etc.
Agility relay
The competition is ideal for the street, since the players’ task is to divide into teams and carry a raw egg on the top of their heads to the finish line, where they need to turn around a chair and run to the second participant with the egg in their hands. The second participant will carry another object, for example, a spoon with water in his teeth. So the competition continues until the last participant. The team that finishes it faster wins.
Laser tag
Some call it laser paintball, although paintballs are not used. The game is played on a special training ground (an abandoned house or a plot of forest) or in an equipped hall. Special sensors are attached to the players’ clothes, which record hits on the target with a beam invisible to the human eye.
In addition, participants hear the sound of a bullet being fired. They know by the sound whether they hit the target or whether the bullet flew past. The blaster machine looks quite natural, and feels as if you were in a computer game.
According to my readers, “this is something.” The girls liked it too, so it's probably worth a try.
Prices in different cities of Russia differ significantly.
On weekends, as you understand, the amount is 2 times higher.
Disco style...
A great idea would be to hold a disco for your daughter's birthday. Teenagers aged 14 love music as well as dancing. To organize a disco you need to prepare an entertainment program in advance. Dancing without entertainment for teenagers will not last long, so you cannot celebrate the entire birthday in the format of dancing alone.
You also need to take care of the DJ. Music tastes vary between generations, so if you play music, there is a chance that it may not suit the younger generation. Entrust this matter to professionals. They know exactly how the tracks are trending today and will appeal to young people.
Invite an equal number of boys and girls so that your disco-themed birthday party will not be complete without slow dancing.
Problem No. 1. Should I stay at home or go somewhere?
So, what is better - to celebrate a birthday at home, or to go somewhere? To make the right decision, you need to weigh several factors:
- preferences and hobbies of the birthday boy himself
- season
- expected weather
- estimated holiday budget
- number and composition of invitees, their characteristics and preferences
- physiological characteristics of adolescents - the need to throw out energy in movement, dancing, outdoor games, competitions
- age-related need for adolescents to make as much noise as possible - to shout themselves and listen to loud music
- the amount of free time you can devote to preparing for the holiday
It is impossible to say in advance exactly which holiday option will be preferable for you. It all depends on your specific situation. But if, when thinking over a program for a teenager’s birthday, you focus not on how it is “usually” to spend it, and not on how you yourself spent it in your childhood, most likely you will have a really good holiday, and this The teenager will remember the day for a long time.
What to cook for the holiday?
The festive table is an important stage in organizing a celebration. Parents should approach the issue of creating a menu not from the perspective of the child’s desires, but from the point of view of normal and healthy nutrition.
Don't set the table exclusively with pizza, burgers, fries and soda. Children love such dishes, but it is worth diversifying the menu with natural dishes, fruits, vegetables, and juices. Don't exaggerate the amount of sweets.
For 14-year-olds, the issue of alcohol is not acceptable, so you should not react to provocation and put even the most low-alcohol drinks on the table.
Competition “Fit It All”
This game is perfect for a noisy and cheerful company. Guests are divided into two teams. Each team is given a large box, as well as things to go with it. The teams' task is to be able to fit all the items into their boxes as quickly as possible. Objects of different sizes are offered for stacking; moreover, with each stacked item, the space in the box becomes less and less. The team that manages to pack the items faster wins. However, before starting the competition, make sure that the items fit loosely in the boxes. The minimum number of participants is 4 people.

Interesting organization ideas
Setting the table and dancing after the feast has become somewhat banal; you always want something more, for example, to take more bright photographs or even shoot a video as a souvenir. For some, it is very important to make the holiday memorable and shocking, so you want to make everything unique and incredibly fun. Simple but very useful tips will help with this.
1. Themed parties are becoming increasingly popular, as they are not only fun and unusual, but also require special preparation among the guests. To do this, you need to decide on a theme; it could be a disco evening or a Hawaiian party. All guests must be notified in advance. So that they can prepare and think through their images. Room decorations, snacks and entertainment should be in keeping with the theme.
2. Regardless of who the invitees are, friends or relatives, you can make a collage of photos and hang it on the wall, so everyone will be interested in coming and enjoying the pictures from the past, remembering the pleasant and fun moments.
3. For each guest you can think of a unique and interesting invitation. For example, I invite my most cheerful friend to my 15th birthday, or on September 15th there will be a celebration of my birthday, where I really want to see you, my beloved grandmother. A personal greeting is always pleasant, and in this case it will also express respect and reverent attitude.
4. Despite the fact that it is a birthday and guests should come with gifts themselves, you can prepare a small trinket for everyone as a keepsake. It could be a keychain or a figurine, or maybe even something made with your own hands, because it’s so nice to receive a gift when you don’t expect it at all.
5. Prepare a symbolic costume for each guest, offering to wear it as soon as he arrives. For example, you can act out a fairy tale with all its characters.
6. To end the holiday in style, just light the sparklers, turn off the lights and say a word of gratitude to all the guests for the evening. If possible, a show of firecrackers, fireworks and firecrackers will be much more enchanting, but it is very important to remember the safety measures. Now sky lanterns have become very popular; they can also be launched into the sky and shouted congratulations.
Should you entrust the celebration of a girl’s fourteenth birthday to an agency?
If you don’t have time to organize a party in honor of your child’s 14th birthday, you can entrust the entire process to an agency that will create an unforgettable holiday on a turnkey basis.
By choosing an agency, you can:
- save personal time;
- save money through a complex order, since prices for individual services will be much higher;
- choose absolutely any theme for the evening;
- diversify the entertainment program;
- have an unforgettable, fun and bright time.
"Circle"
An excellent competition for a child’s 16th birthday, especially when there are many friends of the birthday boy. The essence of the competition is as follows. The guys stand in a tight circle, alternately extending their thumbs up. The ball is placed on them. Then a task is announced, the essence of which is to carry the ball on the thumbs over a certain distance. It is forbidden to rest your thumbs on the ball and talk while carrying it. If a rule is broken, everything starts all over again. Quite an interesting game that will test the cohesion of the birthday boy’s friends. If the guys cope with the competition quickly, then you can complicate it by replacing the ball with a tennis ball.
