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.

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.

hang out with a few of your best friends, drink, eat junk food, and watch stupid movies.  that always makes me happy.  that's what I did for my bachelorette party.

watch some cool movies, eat lots of food, gossip, call some really cute boys, maybe jump on a trampoline or go swimming if you have any fun stuff like that! Or play some hoops or soccer and you know you'll think of some stuff once everyones there!

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

His and Hers snow caps, scarfs, and gloves!  As parents, adults etc. When it is you scrapping off the cars in the morning or getting the kids into the car etc.  There is nothing better.  If you have the extra change you can even get them embroiered at a local sewing shop.  Check the Yellow Pages for seamstresses.  When  you call ask if they do embroiery, how much per word or letter, and how quickly they can have it done.  It would be a nice touch and shouldn't cost too much per letter.  In fact you could just get their initials! \n\n\nFor the Party, Why not try hot dogs for the main course instead of just the nachos.  Or you can get some: \nSmall cocktail franks and barbecue sauce.  Pour all contents into a crock pot and allow to simmer for about 2 hours b4 you serve.  \nThen serve chips and dip (Nachos would be good) \nFresh fruit with sweet chocolate dip.  \nHot Cocoa or Fruit Punch\nThese are tested on my kids and are inexpensive ways to feed several kids in a party type atmosphere.  They are also really good and good for them, (I know, boring mom stuff).  \nThe cupcakes sound like a really good idea!  There is a way to put a firework design on the tops in icing.  So that when you hand them out it will look nice and festive!  \n\nSounds like you have a good grasp at the age of 16 of what is truly important.  \nHope This Helps!\nAmy

tolga party (everyone is dressed in sheets... and for fun you could be wearing one with sponge bob or some dumb superhero you loved as a kid) pizza is always a favorite even though it is NOT greek :)... give a prize for the best dressed (cash gets people's attention... maybe $20)\nOR....\nif some of your friends are also old enough to drive have a scavanger hunt. each car has 4 kids in it and each car has a set of riddles they must solve and drive to in order to pick up proof that they found the answer... if you do this one, you can do the whole CAR theme and serve anything you want to eat... (probably like pizza hehehe)

i suggest going to a walmart super center and ordering some platters its very cheap als o have a cooler filled with beverages of variety i wouldnt go to over board with decorations but a few would be appropiate go to a dollar store closets to you to get decor. find a place if you dont want it in your house or backyard where it is convienent for every one have a radio and alow the guests to bring cds to listen to or just let them choose what station get enough food for all your guests ask people what types of food they would want but most iimportantly have fun and dont sress your self out putting it all together ask people closest to you to help and maybe bring somethings have fun

Well i am an expert in these things ;) soo umm how about u do her a small suprise party that doesn't involve alot of people but the closest people she cares about like only 10 friends and make some games tell her to come over and suprise her. u can like u and 10 friends collect money together and buy her one present she won't forget like a digital camera or a cell phone or some thing she wants.. or u can make her a scrapbook all about he and in the last pages let people write comments about her. make her something she admires. my friends made me 3 suprise parties first the sprayed u know these foams that has like strings in them ? also they threw baloons took pictures then we saw a movie when i got home i found bunch of presents on my bed i was so suprised and happy.\n\nGOOD LUCK!

For my daughter we had a pizza/karaoke/slumber party and everyone had a great time. It was the funnest party she ever had. You could also do a throwback party like a 50's sock hop complete with burgers and milkshakes and show the movie Grease, or a 70's hippie party or disco and have veryone come in costume, or an 80's rocker party.
