If you have the space, I would definitely recommend getting a DJ and have a dance party. When I turned 18, my parents did something like this for me, and they also hired an improv group from a local club to come over and specially perform for my friends and I-it was hilarious, and half their act was dedicated to reinacting stories that my friends had secretly submitted. If you have access to something like this, I would definitely recommend it, because every single person LOVED it. \nFood-wise, load up! Get tons of everything, so that everyone feels appreciated and accounted for depending on their different tastes. My party had a sampling of stuff from assorted restaurants and my friends were just blown away. \nI would definitely talk to you daughter about anything specific she definitely wants to include, but show her that you can be the cool mom she knows you can be, and aim to impress! She'll love it I'm sure. Good Luck!!

Sure thing...start talking to her! Ask her questions? This shows an interest!!! I know this may be hard, but Find a common interest. Share a need, like a good laundry mat? grocery store? restaurant? recipe? Next talk about your Mom in a positive lite please! Make sincere complements! Ask her what kind of movies she likes and be prepared to ask her out to see one...ask her to a high school football game...Cheap and lots of fun with pizza date afterward!

Free activities:  take them to the library, they have all sorts of free programs for kids.  They can also borrow books, fairly new released dvds, and cds.  Park, school playground.  Water balloon toss.  Pool, or sprinkler would be cool.  Make their own snack, like trail mix.  Pizza bagels.  Usually AMC or Regal Cinemas offer free movie for kids and parents at 10 am once a week.  Check out their website for more info.  Bike riding, play follow the leader on bikes.  Volunteer you and the child's time at local retirement homes, etc. to set a good example.  Free local museums, zoo.  Crafts:  make a summer scrapbook together, Make pinuatas. You'll need newpaper, balloon for shape, and plaster of paris, paints.  Blow balloon up. Make a paste of plaster of paris, tear newspaper into strips, and adhere, let dry overnight. Leave a opening to fill with candy, and to pop balloon.  When dry, paint. When dry, decorate and add candy!  Grab a branch and have fun! Make placemats out of construction paper, and laminate.  You can cut pics out of magazines, or add beads/sequins, pics of family and friends.  Make colored sand.  Use salt or granulated sugar, baby food jar/ or other small jar.  Colored chalk.  On newspaper or paper bag, dump salt/sugar on table take a colored chalk stick and glide over sugar until desired colored is achieved. Place in jar, do the next color.  Until jar is full.  Cute.

Local/community theater is a good idea. It'll give her an idea of just how hard acting (and theater) is. I've helped the redhead a few times with shows her company has put on. It's no cakewalk.

How about some type of tournament to enter and watch.  Maybe you could do some events for parents to take their tykes to for like 1 or 2 dollars and they compete in events and get little metals and other such prizes etc\n\nThere's the old standard dance\n\nsecret items secret auctions where you dont what you're bidding on but you may know some of the contents of the boxes in the auction.  Like there's a cd player in one so bid on this bla bla bla.  a 30 dollar cd player people bidding 5 or 6 dollars and some crap prizes worth 5 bucks total and make about 20 of those and wolla you've got instant money for crap.\n\nkissing (whore) booth where the guys and girls pay 1 for a kiss or whatnot from the hottest chicks in school and the hottest guys in school.\n\ndating auctions, an always interesting one this one the resources are usually free and you might get a community business to donate a meal for the winners or something.

movie basket is a great idea. Get a couple of movies they like some microwave popcorn, soda, and some candy. Or you can do a date night basket with movie tickets, resturant gift card, theater tickets or what else your parents enjoy like bowling or miniture golf.

Perhaps you could ask her indirectly. Carefully crafted words are the key here to achieving your desired goal.....having a boyfriend. Okay, step 1) find a time when you and your mother are relaxing, no phones, dinner is finished, house is clean. 2) Begin the conversation like this: "You know Mom, I am now ___ years old, and I was wondering if you would allow me to go to the movies with _____________. I know you have not had an opportunity to meet ________, but I can invite him by the house on _________. He is a really nice guy. Now, if you do not have a boyfriend, and no prospects, then I would suggest that you address your mother in this manner: Mom, I have really matured over the last year and I would like to respectfully request permission from you to go on a date occassionally with a carefully selected boy that I will bring home first for you to meet.  Don't be shy about it. Be assertive, without being pushy. Tell her what your heart desires, and do it in a kind, courteous, confident and mature manner. The way you approach this request to have a boyfriend is important. You have to let your mother know that you are ready for this big step in your young teenage life. \nNow, be honest in your evaluation of yourself here okay? Think! Really think here! And answer my question truthfully! Question: Have you been on your best behavior over the last year? Have you done everything that has been asked of you by your mother? Have you gotten into any serious trouble lately? Did you make good grades and behave appropriately in school? These questions are important, because if you have been cutting up and acting like a trifling little hoochie mama, it is highly likely that your mother will say no. But if you have been a perfect angel, and behaved appropriately over the last year, then I dont see any reason that your mother will not agree to your terms. Also, let her know that any boy you meet, you will bring them home to meet her, and your curfew is 9p.m. weeknights and 10:30 on weekends. Or, if your curfew is later than this, use your current curfew. Well, I hope this helps. Best wishes to you. And have fun.

Ok from what I remember, night, Mother is about a young woman who lives with her mother and decides to kill herself?  Correct.  If so, you could play the gendder card.  Also , think about your own relationship with your Mom, any comparisons to the day in day out life of the lead character?  Maybe a quote that really  hit you in the heart from the play.  I often like to start my papers with a quote that is also my thesis.  it shows that I know the material and that I have applied it like so.\n\nI Hope This Helps,\nAmy

Have a potluck dinner...maybe people could make dishes that remind them of her, were her favorites or ones she was famous for.  Have lots of family pictures around everywhere, even blow up some of your favorites.  Have a cake with 100 candles.  Have everyone write about their favorite or special memories with your mom. Then have people change papers and read the stories out loud.  Have a slide show (using PowerPoint, home movies, digital camera, etc.) of your mom and family members.  Do some research on what was going on the world when she was a kid and teenage...play that kind of music.  And instead of gifts, ask people to make a donation to your mom's favorite church or charity or take up a collection as a family college fund (or other cause).  Have fun and God bless.

Do a series of quick skits from 'around the world.' Showing mothers in different countries and what they do for us, and how we show them our appreciation in return. Great learning activity for moms and kids!
