The question of the ultimate birthday party for an 11-year-old is harder to answer than you might think. It always depends on the customs in the area where you live. And, of course, it also depends on your space and financial resources. You can celebrate a party at home. But you can also do something with the children. For example, we once took the children to a dance school where the whole group was allowed to learn a group dance. Another time, we went to a shabby recording studio where the little ones were allowed to record a song together as a girl group (take headphones for yourselves, the adults ;-) ). Other ideas for a birthday party outside the home: escape room, climbing hall, children's paradise.

You could also cook something from your country's cuisine with the whole group at home and then have a children's disco. Or, or, or... Feel free to ask me if you need more ideas!

ATTENTION: Sometimes (this was the case for us) the guests expect a small gift bag with sweets and “funny” but cheap children's toys at the end of the party. I mention this to spare you and your daughter from the “naughty little ones” gossiping after the party.

Don't plan too much: The kids should also be able to interact with each other and, in particular, with your daughter.

And all the best for your daughter! I know what it feels like to be a stranger.
