I like the idea of doing things in 13s for the 13th birthday. It would add a fun twist to the party. It would actually add a fun twist to any age birthday party. My family does something like that for 50th birthdays. We make sure that that the person gets 50 presents to open. It sounds like a lot but we will take things like a sleeve of golf balls and wrap each individually or a pack of socks and wrap them separately. Along with real gifts, of course. And we get the entire family to help. It ends up being a lot of fun!!

Also - a pool party/bbq is always a great idea for a 13th birthday party. The kids do not get to see each other as often in the summer months and it's a fun way for everyone to get together and celebrate.
