Inspiration for the tween party planner. By Kerrie Hess.

Hosting the ultimate girls tween party at your pad only takes a few key ingredients . . . A little planning, some fun invitations, activities to make you laugh, a cook off that your taste buds will adore, and a girly movie to top it all off.  Think Mean Girls, The Princess Diaries or the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.

You can make your party elaborate and lavish, or simple and relaxed. A fun sleepover can be arranged at short notice, with very little planning. Or you could go all-out for a special event, such as giving your birthday party a fashion, haunted house or cooking theme. Have a High School Musical moment, and throw your own music party, complete with SingStar or even just a hairbrush and your iPod playlists!  Channel Bend it like Beckham, and throw an outdoor sports party, or become an instant critic hosting a book club tea party.  How civilised!

Make your party super special by devising some fun activities, costumes, decorations, props, invitations, take home goodie bag ideas, and recipes.  Try to plan ahead so that you are excited and not frazzled when it comes to party time.

Your party can be themed around anything that you really love! Just think about what you and your friends enjoy doing when you get together, and take it from there. Or try something you rarely do. . . You just may discover a hidden talent for art, dancing or film reviews.

Let the party planning begin. . .  And find out more in Girls Only, which is available now.
