Havin’ a birthday and lookin’ for somewhere extra special to party? Here are five totally perf places for a summer celebration that’ll seriously take the cake.

 

Kickin’ It Carnival-Style

Your birthday comes around only once a year, and so does the carnival! Grab your besties and hit the rides because there’s something for everyone, from the most scaredy-cat chica to the most adventurous babe. You can all enjoy pizza and those fab desserts that are only found at fairs, like candy apples and funnel cakes. And maybe if you’re lucky, there’ll be a sweet band or even karaoke.

 

Step Back in Time…

Check out a Renaissance Fair for your birthday bash, and enjoy jousting, Shakespeare, fancy dresses, mythical creatures, and more. There are Ren Fairs all over the country in places like California, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Just find the one that’s nearest to you, and haveth a wondrous day – huzzah!

 

Sleepover With a Twist

All your BFFs have sleepovers for their birthdays, and ya wanna do something a little out of the ordinary. So why not have yours in your backyard? Tell the gals to bring their sleeping bags, and pull out the tents and s’mores. Everybody loves a good game of flashlight tag, and you can also have a competition to see who can catch the most lightning bugs. Then you and your chicas can stay up sharing ghost stories (or the latest deets on your crushes – your pick!).

 

Wet ‘N Wilder Than Usual

Pool parties are so done, right? This year, we’re diggin’ a trip to a water park instead. They’ve got all the cool of a pool with lots more excitement. Pick a park with a neat wave pool or a lazy river so that any babes who are afraid of heights won’t feel left out when ya head for the slides.

 

To the Ice Cream Parlor, Chauffer

Why wait ‘til prom or your wedding to rent a limo? You’ve got a special day comin’ up, so show it off with some of your chicas. Have them over for a fab dinner before rolling out the red carpet and climbing into your sweet ride. Tell the chauffer take you and the gals to the best ice cream place in town, and enjoy an evening of traveling like stars.

 

So chickies, what are some of your most memorable birthday bashes?

My 18 year old sister just graduated, and ever since shes been drinking. I just caught her outside smoking too. Frown my mom doesnt even react badly to the fact that shes doing that. What should i do?




Hey girl, that's tough because technically, your sis is an adult now. Which means she can make her own decisions. Have you talked to her about how much that stuff bothers you, though? Maybe an honestly worried sister will snap her back to reality. If she doesn't listen, you just stick to your morals, babe, and keep yourself healthy. Maybe try talking to your mom about how much you're bothered by that stuff, too, and see if she'd consider trying to talk your sis out of it.

My 13th birthday is in September and usually falls on the first day of school. I live in NY and this year its just going to be my parents and my little siblings celebrating my birthday. Any ideas for my birthday that wont affect school?




Hey babe, that sounds like a good excuse for your fam to go out to a super-sweet restaurant for dinner. Is there somewhere close by that you wouldn't normally go to? Or you could all go out bowling - that can be really fun with a small group.
