Surprise Birthday Party Ideas

What sort of things does your son love to do? Can you surprise him by arranging for him and a few of his friends to do that thing? Or... I remember a surprise party for a friend of my son, in which the boy's parents arranged for his friends to surprise him at 7 a.m. by showing up - in a limo - to take him to breakfast before school. You'd be surprised how quickly a teenage boy will get up and dress when his buddies are there in a limo. If you don't know where to start, take your son's best friend into your confidence and ask him. He'll be the expert.

my mom helped me kidnap my best friend once for a surprise party. we put a paper bag over her head, buckled her into the car and drove around in circles so she wouldn't know where we ended up until we took the bag off her head at the party location. she thought it was great.

I don't know what sort of things your 14yo is "in" to, but this or a variation might be fun. My son was invited to one of these and he had a great time. It's a "drive in movie" party. Each invite was like a movie ticket, they were instructed to build a vehicle out of a large box, decorate etc. and bring with them to the drive in. The party was held at an apartment clubhouse with a large screen TV. As each person arrived with their vehicle they were given an envelope with Monopoly money for the "concession" stand. Everyone parked their vehicles around the TV and watched the movie. At intermission, 1/2 way through the movie, they had cake and presents. There were prizes for the different vehicles, most original, fanciest, most colorful, you make up your own awards, just make sure there's something for everyone. My son made a space ship, there was a semi-rig that was really cool. Anyway, maybe 14 might be a little old for something like this, maybe not. It just depends on your kid. Have fun and happy birthday.

Although this wasn't a suprise party, the past two birthdays for my son have been great. For his 13th B-Day, we had a football party. The friends he invited were divided into teams and they had a game at the park by our house. For his 14th, which was just last month, he wanted to have it here at the house with 6 friends. We decorated the basement in the Colts colors. - His favorite team- and we had football plates, cups and napkins. We served chips and salsa, soda, sausage, cheese and crackers and of course cake. The boys had a great time listening to music and playing the WII game. The party lasted 3 hours and we let him have two of the boys stay the night. The next day, I got the biggest hug and thanks from my son for a great party.

My 13 year old son went a really fun party recently. The dad's of all the boys arranged for a dad vs. son paintball challange. They went to a rural area where a lot of people paintball but you could also rent a paintball field and equipment. Not all the boys had a dad but the host had made sure that there would be dad figure for each boy either a big brother, uncle, family friend,etc. They had a blast and it lasted all day.

I just planned a surprize party for my 15 year old girl. I got her phone and the # to the friend that she tells me about the most. I called her friend and had her help me by getting me the numbers of the kids that my daughter hangs out with. We reserved a motel room with a pool. We all planned to go out to her favorite resturant and i had all her friends meet me there and her dad brought her to the resturant. We decorated the motel room with chips and munchies, balloons and a few games we thought they might want to play. A radio. And privacy. I would suggest that if you go with a motel you get an adjoining room so you could have a place tio relax. (as the parents dropped off their kids i gave them a card to the motel and my phone #on the back. ) they were to be picked up by 11 pm. Good luck

we just had a party at XTreme Challenge Arena in their littleton location and everyone raved about it. They set up great activities for any age, to adults. I booked it for two hours and they had a great time!
