Do you have a Party Store or anything like it in your area?  If so, the best thing to do is just go ther are run wild - it's pretty cheap, and there's a lot of good stuff.\n\nOff the top of my head, if you and your friends are artistic, you could always cover the walls with large sheets of paper and bring lots of art supplies - that way you can have fun doodling on the walls and your friend can leave you birthday messages.\n\n(Happy birthday by the way!  I'm 16 - it's fun.)

In a room divide the corners into categories (seasons, colors, dived the months of the years up, etc...) and then depending on the size of the group you might need more than four groups, tell them to walk to the corner of their favorite season, color, birthday month...etc... Then once they get in the divided groups they can talk about what it was that brought them there or you could give them topics to talk about and mingle.\nHope this helps!

Well, happy birthday !!\nthere's a ton of stuff you can do, like a karaoke party, you can have a good old fashion house party with games and stuff, if it's a nice day why don't you call all your friends tell them to put on some junk cloths and have a bunch of relay races and a BBQ!\n\nCome on girlfriend use your imagination.

Have a HUGE party at a huge backyard of a house with a pool. Decorate the pool with those floating candles, buy some tiki things, have a BBQ, get a LOT of drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic), have some music (a dj if possible), and just invite a s*hitload of friends. If you want to blow people's minds, have an all guy party and hire a stripper... that'll definitely "blow" their minds *lol*

My idea for you is to have a nightclub themed party. You can name your nightclub "birthday" or "17". Send out invitation as if they were to visit the exclusive V.I.P room of this new club, but make sure people know it's for your birthday party. Decorate by exchanging your normal lights for blacklights, colored light bulbs, and soft lighting. Have each room or section of your house as a different section of the club. The techno room, the video games room, the hip-hop room, the hang-out room. \n\nSince I'm assuming you aren't going to drink, make some mocktails. A good site for recipes is http://www.healthunit.on.ca/mocktails/recipes.html. Pick about 5-10 of your favorites and make a menu to sit at your "bar". Have someone mixing drinks (an older sibling, a friend). Serve the drinks in cocktail glasses, tumblers and martini glasses. \n\nThe best place to get invitations are these sites http://www.birthdayinvitation.org/ http://www.classiccommunication.com/\nhttp://www.cardsshoppe.com/\nOR you can do your own invitation online at evite.com and e-mail it to everyone. That's what I would recommend. \n\nI think you sould serve pizza or something easy and fast. You can even go out a buy a bunch of frozen foods at your local warehouse store and cook them all up before the party. Don't pay for delivery, go out and buy frozen pizzas, or for even more fun, get all cheese frozen pizzas and have people garnish their own slices. Have peperoni, diced chicken, sausage, peppers, tomatoes, bacon ,and other things that you like on pizza. Make sure you have a cake, and have it iced bright white so it stands out under the lights. \n\nThe last thing you need is yourself. Don't let the party planning stress you out too much and just have a good time. It's all about you so make it really personalized. And have fun! You deserve it.

Have cake. Play music loud. Dance. Do your friend's hair. Dress up cute. Talk on the phone.  Do all the things a 16 year old should do at 16.

We did this in the home, but they do have people who do it at their location.  For my daughter's 8th birthday we had a tea party.  The girls dressed up.  We had juice diluted tea in her tea set.  Heart shaped peanut butter and jelly.  They danced and played and put makeup on each other and did nails.  Then, we played a game where one person is blindfolded and they put lipstick on the person next to them.  That makes for great pictures.   \nGood Luck

For theme ideas, a 60's or 70's or 80's theme is always fun. Great music, fun and outrageous clothes. I helped my friend pick out an outfit for a 70's-themed party, and we had a great time trying on bell-bottoms, peace medallions, wide headbands, and tie-dyed tops.\n\nAnother source of ideas are your hobbies or interests. Do you like sports? Then have a sports-themed party. Do you like sci-fi or fantasy? Have a Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter theme. Do you like anime? You could have an Oriental theme.\n\nOther themes I've heard of from my friends are:\n- What You Want To Be (I heard that one partygoer came as a pornstar!)\n- Soap Opera (everyone thought it was cheesy at first, but they ended up having fun because although they were embarrassed to admit it, everyone knew the characters of all the soap operas!) \n- Wear Something (Or Even Just One Item) You Would Never Normally Wear (one partygoer wore a shiny black Matrix trenchcoat, another one had a purple feather boa. Everyone looked weird, so it was fun and there were lots of laughs)\n\nSome of your friends might object, but hey, it's YOUR party, so you're the star and you should enjoy your day. ^_^\n\nHope this helps!

I once used my kids age as a theme for the party "12" I hid numbers in balloons 1-100 some would have stupid slang jokes in them...the one with the number "12" was the lucky balloon. The winner recieved a dollar store purchased fm radio...dollar store is a great place to find little pre teen gadgets for low prices...cd players blah blah\n\nU also had to come to the party wearing "12" of the same object-hats, buttons, etc the most creative one a prize...this kills a lot of time...the voting-catwalk runway show lol...it's really funny what kids do when put on the spot!\n\n12 chiars for musical chairs "of course we played hip hop or LP" to make them feel a bit  more grown up and not  so childish about the game.\n\nlast but not least "12" eating hotdog contest...if u could eat 12 u won the ultimate prize...once agian, a kill some time game!  "I can't remember what the gift was...but it was cheap and most of the kids wish they would have won it. \n\nWell good luck-hope I helped a little bit.

surprise parties are the best! get a bunch of people over at your place and then get a cake, decorate the place, and invite your friend over for a "goodbye dinner with just the two of you remembering all the good times you had" and then have everybody there with the lights off. when they come in and flick on the lights, say "Surprise!" and then give them presents and have dessert and champagne and just have a good time.

Well it's officially summer do a, of the hook barbecue party where you give out invites where you specify requirements to enter the party For Example\n\nWell come to The Best Party of the Year 2006 \n               Your Name\nSexy Bodies Ready to party \nAll white must be worn\nand so forth depending on how much you are willing to spend the party can be arranged to more stuff.  Decorate the site with your favorite color.  The purpose of me telling you to have everyone in one color will give you the upper hand for you to make sure to wear a complete different color to stand out and be the only one with that color and style.

You can always get a picture frame (for the wall, not a desk) do a collage (sp) of pictures from your youth until now.  i.e. a 5 pic picture frame, say your in your 20s...do the first pic of you two when you were in 5th grade, the 2nd hole fill with 10th grade, the third hole fill with pix of u 2 when you were 20, the next when you were 25......figure our your own theme and time span,  OR wait until after the wedding, make sure to get a candid picture of you two and include it.  Or just use that as a single frame idea.  OR print/buy whatever little sayings and note "there is nobody I'd rather spend my wedding day with...besides the groom of course... :-)

Do a $1 grab bag....everyone brings something from the dollar store, wraps it, and puts it in a grab bag.  During the night, you get to pick one out if you brought one in. \n\nChristmas Karaoke\n\nAsk your mom to go to orientaltrading.com for CHEAP party decor and favors...I mean CHEAP!  And CUTE!
