You have to try and get them to trust you.  They will probably say it's not you they don't trust but your friends.  You have to explain to them in a calm manner (shouting won't help!) that you will have control of the situation.  Play the sympathy card, "My birthday is important to me, and since the two of you wont be here it would make me feel loads better if my friends could be."  Just be calm, and honest.  Good luck, and happy birthday.

Im sorry, Happy Birthday, You should go out and buy yourself some stuff you want. just go all out and have a good time.  No body cares about my birthday either. I haven't had a birthday party in 6 years, My dad forgets every year, and sometimes ill go the whole day without anyone saying happy birthday.  please don't let it get you down, just remember that people suck, and theres nothing you can do about it.  Keep your head up, and maybe people will notice.

yankee candle company sells votives that you can have personal \nlabels put on them.Hershey?sp has candy bars that labels can be  attached too.Also does your parents have something their known for such as salsa in a cute jar,if they go dancing alot maybe a cd made up of their favorite songs with their picture on the label.Baseball caps,flip flops anything like this would be cute,according to how formal the party is.

Respect your parents, they know best. YOu didnt mention how old you are...\nHe could bring dinner to your house and you 2 could watch a movie.

That would be awesome!  I wished my parents would of given me a Sweet Sixteen party to have a dance with my dad.  I invited my parents to my Sr. Prom, and my dad had a special dance with me.  It was great and very memory.  So, YES, it is ok.  GO FOR IT!!

Just remember that this is your daughter's birthday. Make it about her and not your new house. Throw another party at some other time for that. Maybe not everyone is comfortable with small children. Will they feel obligated to bring a present if they come? Small children are hard enough to keep entertained. Do you really want to have to entertain the family on top of this?

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.

I challenge you to do something very different, which can be fun and I promise you unforgettable. Go volunteer with your friends, and donate your presents. Really your 16th birthday is not any different than any other birthday.

Girls LOVE planning parties.....happy 13th!  Get a piece of paper, write in the time from now until then, and fill in what you want to do during these times, and what it takes to do them...it's a snap!   Caterers?  Won't you have parental help?  This post makes me think of my daughter

Well, instead of asking your friends to give a party, you ask them to hand out your card or catalog.  Some grocery stores and community centers have bulletin boards where you can post a flyer or your card.  I've seen "at home party" consultants place very small adds in the classefieds of their local newspaper.  You could ask the owner of a small, local business if you could place you business card on their counter and, in turn, give them something you sell that could make their business easier, nicer, et cetera.  Try leaving one of your catalogs or flyers in clinic waiting rooms.  Just a few ideas...

I would start by deciding how many people you're going to invite than decide where you will have it. Wether you rent a place or just have your party at home. You need to decide what kind of food you would like, you could have a caterer or decide to make all the food yourself. For my 16th birthday I had a party at my house. I did a lua theme we had coconuts, a pinata, we made all the food ourselves. We didn't spend alot of money but the party turned out great, it was alot of fun. As long as you have your friends there you will always have a good time. Good Luck!
