Birthday Party Themes for Older Kids and Teens

Under the Sea Birthday Party Theme

By Denise Witmer, About.com

Fun pool party theme for younger teens and preteens. If you have anything you want to add to our theme ideas, please email me .

  • If the party is all boys decorate with sharks and strange creatures from under the sea. If the party is all girls, decorate with mermaids and pearls. If it is a coed party, use both.
  • This age group may have a hard time socializing on their own, have pool party games ready.
  • Serve food buffet style in a separate area from the pool.
  • Beach towels, sun glasses make great party favors.
  • Serve fish crackers and gummy fish.
  • Safety rules shyould be posted and enforced. Fun in the sun and splashing around the pool is great, but you don't need anyone to get hurt. If there is a problem, calming pull the teen aside and talk to him/her.
