I never did a party bag at that age.

I wouldn’t stress about a party bag for that age either. But if you wanted to, you could grab a cute tumbler with a straw from Kmart and a matching nail polish for them. Kind of ties in with a summer/pool theme and gives them something practical

I feel like teen boys miss out on this, teen girls are easy with little bags filled with things like face masks, nail polish, lip gloss and what not.

I did a make your own lolly bag for my daughter.
I set up a table with lollies and girly bits n prices then each girl got a special bag and got to pick the things they wanted.
Google lolly buffet table.
It was amazing and they all loved it

I’m with majority here, I dont think party bags are necessary for teens. I had no clue as to what to put in them either

They wouldn’t want a bag they are not young ones that enjoy that same goes for cake as I got ice cream cake for birthday cake which they all liked.

I wouldn’t worry about party bags but I’m sure they’d be stoked with just food.

I wouldn’t do a party bag, but maybe take home a piece of cake or cupcake.

I don’t think at that age they would care for anything, especially if they’re boys.
If they were girls I would suggest a cupcake or personalised cookie.

I used to give them a container with a piece of the birthday cake (if there was any left) otherwise they never seemed to expect anything. Again it depends on how many are going to be there.

We didn’t bother with party bags for my teens party. I think they are a little old for party bags at that stage

At that age they don’t really care for things like that. We usually offer a piece of cake to take home, even if they’ve already had some, just to get rid of it so we didn’t eat too much lol

I wouldn’t include a party bag. But you could give out glow sticks, teens always love these and maybe photo props for selfies.

Maybe an iced cookie individually wrapped rather than a party bag?

Kids will still love to receive small treat to take home.
