Having a teen birthday party tomorrow, bitta help please? xx?!
Plan is 17 girls coming, 7.30 til midnight, food is a big pot of chilli con carne and pizzas, putting the wii on in one room, someones ipod on in the other, and a cd on in the other three rooms.
Question- How do I avoid the horrible awkwardness that can happen at the start of parties?
How do i keep everyone downstairs?
Is this enough food-wise?
Any tips on fun games and stuff to keep it all fun?
How to make sure there's no drink?
How to keep my parents and little siblings in the house but away from the party? The last thing I want is my little sister bugging me when I'm trying to have fun.
One of my friends smokes- should I ask my parents if she can smoke outside or what?
Thanks for all your help and any tips would be appreciated xx
Answers:
You can start with a "get to know people" type game. A fun one is called Two truths and a Lie...people write down two truths about themselves and one lie. Then introduce the three "facts" to the rest of the group who tries to guess which one is a lie.
Rope off stairs at the bottom...tape a sign to it saying "No Entrance".
Sounds like plenty of food.
I think once everyone feels comfortable, the activities you have available will be good enough.
If anyone brings alcohol, ask them to leave. You can never gauruntee that someone won't try...
See if you can't get your sister set up in her room with popcorn and a movie...maybe your parents would join her for a movie night in her room or theirs....I do it with my little boys, but I don't know your parents.
It would be a good idea to at least let your parents know one of your friends smokes, of coruse she'd have to do it outside...thats a given.
play video games
crazy string
watch movies
do eachothers nails
pillow fight
to keep ur younger siblings out of the party just ask ur parents to keep the younger siblings out of the way. No, just tell ur friend not to smoke at ur party.
You guys should go to a room and put any glow sticks anywhere and then turn off the lights and whoever get the most glow sticks wins.
