The Theme

Forget the pastels and baby animals and go straight for her favorite cartoon, movie, band, or series.

You can go for a general pop culture theme or pick a particular niche, such as movies, Disney, or Nickelodeon. Decorate with movie posters, billboard ads, and other entertaining visuals.
Let your theme guide your food. If it's a movie, go for popcorn and other concession-stand favorites.
Movie theaters and video stores often use life-size freestanding cardboard displays. Ask if you can adopt one or two old ones for your party. Then set it up at the door as a greeter.
If you've got a small group, consider an evening party and show a favorite movie or some classic TV.
Ask guests to come in a costume of their favorite pop culture icon.
Have Trivial Pursuit cards around the party room.
