I have a 12 year old daughter we already know where her party is gonna be but she just needs a theme she doesn't wanna be babyish and like no specific amount of people is coming she likes fancy and her favorite colors are creme and gold and she likes paris
Answer
Could be Paris in a particular era.
Creme & gold might lend itself to art deco.
The look of an elegant garden party would be beautiful, even indoors. Could have a 2-seater lawn chair in creme or gold colored or creme & gold stripes. Creme-colored trellis or look of a garden gate entrance. In late summer, you'd have all the end-of-summer sales for garden party accessories at rock-bottom prices.
edit--from next day's paper, saw feature on new party rental place & pic. Wooden A-frame with 2-seater garden chair. Chair hanging from chains like a garden swing. Would be perfect for party pics, 2 at a time, with others standing behind.
Ah...an art deco garden party set in Paris. There you are, a possibility anyway.
I'm picturing either long or short Grecian looking slinky or knit dresses, where it doesn't matter if they're filled out well by 12-yr-olds. Could also be a knit sundress that could be worn over a T-shirt or sleek turtleneck for fall.
Peach, chartreuse, dark purple, or lavender blue are all good colors with the 2 that you mentioned.
Otherwise, might be the new look of the year, one of those below the knee pencil skirts with a sweater for fall. (or like my chartreuse cashmere blend ribbed polo-shirt with collar.)
Could wear a long gold fringed necklace or a pretty scarf or perhaps both, & a coordinating shawl.
Side note...As I teen (late 50's, early 60's), I had a low-waisted heavy gold satin after-five dress--very elegant. Also had one in brocade with scoop neck & cap sleeves. Brocade colors were peach, creme, & gold flowers with touches of green leaves. Gathered-on skirt, but not overly full. Both of these dresses had very stylized skirts, neither slim nor very full.
Might want to search for gold sandals during end of summer sales, but pick some out that won't be too bare looking for fall, or she might be able to find gold flats styled like ballet slippers. Brown shoes would probably have to be dark brown, the best alternative to black for those colors.
She might love to have an array of nail polishes that go with those colors, including gold nail polish! Copper color is great & unusual for autumn lipstick & isn't too dark for a young girl. Can be blended with peach, too.
oops! Sorry to get all sidetracked with fashion & stuff.
Whatever the theme, could be in those colors as you know. Get posters that fit in with the theme, along with some inexpensive frames to hang up at the party. They could be hung in her room afterward.
I just did some searches on art deco & art nouveau art posters & saw many styles of artists, ranging from choice of lanky or voluptuous draped ladies to floral designs. Here's one...

There are also posters of Luncheon of the Garden Party by Renoir that's a favorite of mine, but a much earlier era.
Can search on "posters of art deco" or "posters of art nouveau," or "luncheon of the garden party by renoir" or go to "all.posters," which has many, & other sites. Could be that the posters that she likes + what she'd want to wear might influence what she & you select as the theme.
I can also envision some ferns in pots set around. They would go with many themes. Or there might cut flowers in vases, particularly autumn flowers, with vases & flowers geared to the theme.
gold-trimmed cut-glass or crystal bowls for snacks or candy & such
Bowls or platters of fall fruit, like figs, grapes, fresh dates, black olives with toothpicks available.
Those colors will go well for several choices in cakes & frostings...butter colored, cream cheese, banana, or even chocolate would coordinate. Whipped cream edging or whipped cream on the side jazzes up a cake. Apple cake is also terrific for fall.
Cream & gold autumn leaves would make wonderful decorations, but so would gold-colored borders on cream for napkins & such. Lovely image.
Many of these may be what you already have in mind with those colors. (Don't mean to insult you. You only asked for themes.)
Since she likes colors & fancy things, this would be a good age for a color analysis & make-up lesson, even if make-up is reserved for special occasions. That way she would be less likely to make gaudy mistakes, & she could be taught how to make it look natural. So, that would be a wonderful gift, too. Do a search on color analysis if you're not familiar with it & watch YouTube demos of some done for teens. There are many different companies that do it, such as Color Me Beautiful & Beauty for All Seasons. Might get her the Color Me Beautiful book, then see if she'd like a color analysis for Christmas or some other holiday.
Have fun!
