Planning
Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus - if you have a little girl over the age of 4, chances are this dual personalitied teenager is a part of your life. And strangely, although I'd love to say otherwise, her music is pretty catchy for the parents too! I have, on occasion, found myself toe tapping along with my daughter's CD and even know some of the words… This Disney creation is a music loving, all-american girl that is a lot of fun, and translates to a fun party! http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/hannahmontana/
What is your "Party Picture"? Hannah Montana
![]() |
Hannah Montana is a great party theme choice because not only is she the hottest pre-teen star on TV for girls, but she's also all about MUSIC. These two elements combine for perfect party atmosphere. Focus on the musical element and it will provide great party inspiration and entertainment. Keep in mind that you are likely working with Pre-teens for this party, so create a fun, cool party, but keep the atmosphere relaxed, like a cool hang out, but with fun stuff to do. For this age, you have to entertain your guests as if they were still kids, but in a way that doesn't make them FEEL like they are kids. You can't leave them to their own devices like teenagers because they need a little guidance to keep their party mojo going. Turn to your daughter for inspiration and insight. She'll tell you when she thinks something is "lame" or when it's "Rockin'."

Dress It Up
| Decorations | - A Hannah Montana Party |
Hannah Montana Wall Decorations |
There are two elements to draw inspiration from in your décor with this theme, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus herself, and the music she makes. But this theme doesn't fit well with "transffering" your guests to another place - rather, it's about creating a fun, party atmosphere. Fill your room with balloons, streamers, ribbons, confetti, etc. Then add posters of Hannah Montana, a Disco Ball for sparkle, White Crhistmas Lights for twinkle and fun images of musical notes, instruments, microphones and stars! Hang some CDs from fishing wire to catch light and add to the musical element for interest.

Food/Drink
Refreshments for this pre-teen party should be "grown-up" feeling, but with kid friendly flavors. This age group likes to feel like adults, but their tastebuds aren't so ready yet, and if it looks funky, well, it's probably not going to get touched. Consider a Kraft Services type bar - if it's a music set and you want to pamper your guests, select teen friendly foods with great presentation! Standard teen fair - hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, fries, hoagie sandwiches are all great - make it buffet style and add in a variety of dips for fries and veggies so they can feel grown up even on kid friendly foods! Toss in some fun - Shishkabob made from gum drops, marshmallows a cookie or cupcake decorating bar, and Sundae bar for desert!
- Drinks can be more than juice packs at this age as spillage isn't quite so much of an issue. Create grown up drinks like sparkling lemonade, strawberry spritzers (strawberry syrup in sprite with frozen berries inside) or smoothies!

- A Hannah Montana Party
Entertainment
It's all about the music and the show. You can have a viewing of the Hannah Montana movies, have some Karaoke fun, or have a Superstar Makeover with make-up, hair styling, nail art and fashion! Or, have a little bit of everything! Work with your daughter as pre-teens are hard to judge. What's too little girlish, and what's to adult? Have you planned too much or not enough? This age is difficult so get your daughter's thoughts and insights on what she'd like to do.

Prizes / Favors
For Pre-teens, birthdays are about growing up into young women, but at the same time, these girls are still kids and enjoy kid activities. So your party, your activities, your favors all need to find that balance. Consider pictures of each other with notes and frames that they can decorate themselves, little make up kits with lip glosses that smell and taste fun, or nail art that is silly and cute, or consider an activity/favor such as T-shirts that they can decorate themselves. You have to entertain this age group LIKE kids, but not let them know it. Good luck!
- Autograph Memory Book: A GREAT keepsake for this party would be to give each guest an "autograph" book that each of the other guests sign and write notes in! If you are able to have pictures printed then pictures can be included as well!
- Buy an inexpensive photo booklet (about 2-3$). Have precut colorful paper for guests to write notes on and pictures printed off during the party for everyone to include. Then, they insert pages with notes and signatures as well as fun pictures as an amazing memory of the party and their friends!
