No to the balloon idea and 13 year olds don’t do party favors.

13 yr old boys do NOT want to make paper airplanes.

They don't need favors. Just buy lots of food.

No balloon backdrop. OMG

No no no

Rubik's cubes are a good idea but kids this age likely already have them.

Better to give something edible that doesn't clutter the parents' house.

I don't think teenage parties have favors - that is more for little kids. Just have plenty of food/snacks/candy for the party

I’ve got 3 teenaged boys, youngest is 13, and I wouldn’t recommend balloons/backdrop or favors. Just give them something to do and feed them. My oldest was immature and I probably would have done this for him just b/c I would have been indexing off the kid I had, but my youngest - who is markedly different, largely as a byproduct of having older brothers - would be very embarrassed.

No to the balloons and photo idea. Just give them food. Lots of food. Ask your kid what he wants you to buy.

For party favors, get bags and fill them with candy, popcorners, gum, chocolates.

I'm sure you can get at least a few pictures of the group. My 16 year olds still had no problem with this. I don't think you're going to get much more than that.

NO. He's turning 13, not 3.

No, 13 yo boys are NOT going to be into that. What does your kid say about that idea...?

As for Candy - this age likes those chewy nerd ball gummy clusters

DS’s 13th birthday is coming up. I would like to get a lot of balloons and backdrop to take pictures. Not sure if his friends are going to be into that.

Can you recommend favors?

I was thinking something edible.
