  Teenagers' birthdays are often a big deal in their lives and can be cause for a celebration involving friends and family members. If your teen is having a birthday soon, there are several fun things you and your family can do to help the guest of honor celebrate the day and make some lifelong memories.
  
  

Murder Mystery Party

• Throw your teenager and her friends a murder-mystery birthday party. Murder mystery games typically come with invitations, as well as a plot and character descriptions. Each guest is assigned a specific character in their invitation, and they come to the party dressed as that character. Throughout the party, guests portray their assigned characters and attempt to unravel the mystery of the murderer in the room.
  
  

Rent a Limo

• Give your teen a stylish birthday by renting a limo for the night and allowing him to pick a few locations to travel to with a small group of friends. Something as simple as going to a dinner and a movie can be taken to a whole new level when they travel in a limo.
  
  

Spa Party

• Celebrate a teenage girl's birthday with a spa event for her and her friends. Purchase a variety of different nail polishes, face cleansers and creams and let the guest of honor and her guests give one another a spa experience. Set up chairs in your living room, play some soothing music, and have the girls take turns giving one another manicures and facials. Take the party up a notch by renting movies and turning the event into a sleepover.
