When should my sister start thinking about her birthday party?

Ok, my little sister who is 11 turning 12 wanted to ask me a question, how the hell am I supposed to know? So I said she could ask the question on here and I could tell her what the answer was.

Ok, here in australia it is summertime january 3rd and her birthday is febuary 14th and she wants to know when she should start planning it. She is quite girly and obsessed with party planning. She also wants to know if you have any suggestions about what she should do for her party. I don't blame her for looking anywhere else on the web because all the other sites contain mother stories about their kids. thankyou.

    I'm sure your sister has a lot of school stuff to do, and it would be better if her party could be planned sooner or later, not right now. So I have a suggestion: a girly sleepover. Here's a guide.

    Invitations:

    -Print your party details in large block letters on clean, white pillowcases. Fold them and send them in manila envelopes.

    -Mail your invitations along with a small teddy bear or stuffed animal for your guests to bring to the party.

    -Punch a hole in the corner of a card-style invitation and attach it to a new toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste. Your guests can bring these items with them to the party! Mail your invites in padded envelopes.

    -Here's an invite idea.

    Are you ready for some giggles and gossip?

    Maybe some pizza, and some chips and dip?

    Then come to Ella's party and bring your pj's,

    'Cause it's going to be fun in so many ways!

    Decorations:

    -Streamers and tulle around the room

    -Glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling

    -Pillows, sleeping bags, and blankets around the room

    -Popular music that your guests can dance to (like Super Bass and Pop by NSYNC)

    -White twinkle lights around the perimeter of the ceiling

    Food at night:

    -Funny Face Bagels. Spread cream cheese on bagels then decorate with jelly in a squeeze tube.

    -Relaxing Refreshments. Soda, strawberry milk, and juice with silly straws would work.

    -Popcorn Passing. Give everyone a bag of popcorn and pass around the flavors such as powdered cheese or barbecue powder.

    Food in the morning (breakfast):

    -Smiley Face Pancakes. Decorate pancakes with toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, finely chopped nuts, blueberries, and more to make them look like Smiley Faces.

    -Waffles. Let your guests choose their own waffle toppings such as cherries, whipped cream, strawberries, chocolate chips, and nuts.

    -Fruit Pops. Slide sections of fruit, such as pineapple, banana, strawberries, and grapes onto a wooden skewer and serve.

    Games and activities:

    -Make your own scrapbooks. Provide the paper, coloring materials, beads, buttons, stickers, and more.

    -Play the traditional party game Telephone.

    -Name That Tune. Give each guest a chance to pick 5 songs from YouTube and let the others guess. After three rounds, the winner gets a unique prize.

    -Play the traditional party game Flashlight Tag.

    -Bake cupcakes with your guests. After that, have a cupcake decorating contest! Provide the cream, sprinkles, chocolates, and more.

    -Create a fun scavenger hunt for your guests.

    -Like what you mentioned, setting up spa-themed activities or beauty stations would be good. How about a mani-pedi station--or a hair perm station? :)

    -Watch fun chick flicks such as:

    The Notebook

    Monte Carlo

    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

    The Princess Diaries

    Ella Enchanted

    Aquamarine

    Girls Just Want To Have Fun

    Never Been Kissed

    The Princess Bride

    A Cinderella Story

    -How about other cool movies?

    Alvin and the Chipmunks

    Nanny McPhee

    Harry Potter

    High School Musical

    Hugo

    Lemonade Mouth

    The Secret Garden

    Diary of A Wimpy Kid

    Titanic

    The Ring

    Paranormal Activity

    Favors:

    -Pillowcases

    -Lotion, lip gloss, and nail polish

    -Candy

    -Stickers

    -Costume jewelry

    All you need to do here is purchase some stuff, print the invitations and get crafty for making decorations. Easy, huh? This party theme is good because your sister can plan later, but remember; the earlier, the better. I hope it helped. XDD

    Now's a good time to start planning the party. She has more than a month to prepare and that's good enough to plan and organize a great party. She should start first with picking a theme for the party. This will be her guide in selecting the design of her birthday invite, the decorations, food, party favors, games, music, and her dress, too. This might help give you more ideas on themes, costumes, and party supplies you need: http://www.partiesonline.com.au/

    if she wanna give party on large scale then she must start thinking atleast 20 days before the birthday and if she wanna give a good small party then 4-5 days will be enough.
