This sounds so great as long as all the 13 yo girls were invited to the sleepover portion

My god. She's a teenager. the "you must invite everyone" silliness stopped years ago

I mean, it was 40 years ago but I had a huge party at my house when I turned 13. It was awesome. We mostly hung out in the backyard with food and music. We had a huge food fight where chips and cake were flying around the backyard. It was great. I’m sure it was also super cheap. Literally snacks and grocery store sheet cake.
