My (30F) sister-in-law is turning 14 next month, and my partner and I are hosting a small family party for her at our house. We are brainstorming ideas for the party, particularly for activities. Bday Girl and her cousin will be the youngest ones; everyone else is an adult. Bday Girl has been through a very tough year, with her father dying unexpectedly this past summer and dealing with mean friends at school. We’d like to throw her a fun party but are struggling with ideas for activities. Her family (several much older half-siblings) aren’t very engaged with her. We live in New England so it’s too cold to be outside, and Bday Girl would say “I don’t know” if we asked what she wants to do. She’s told us she’d like a pink cake with flowers. I’d appreciate any suggestions, especially from teen girls, that would be appropriate for this party, particularly for activities or other ways the family would be engaged and Bday Girl would enjoy. She’s a pretty standard teen girl — she likes skincare, trends, singing and dancing. Her vibe is a mix of girly and sporty, and she thinks everything is embarrassing. Our activity idea thus far is a “floral bar” where guests can make their own bouquets. submitted by /u/cheeky_monkey25
