What about a Hawaii Themed Party (by the pool) Wear Hula/grass skirts, flowers around the neck. You could buy Tiki Lamps ( I don't think they're that expensive). Maybe make an exotic fruit punch and a BBQ.

Another idea is dress as your favourite character from a movie/ pop star/ celebrity. Glamour/Vegas style party...everyone to get all dressed up.

I heard of someone having a Lady Gaga themed party once where everyone dressed in Gaga style....it sounded pretty cool!
get glow sticks but play glow stick tag! the best game ever! ok to play glow stick tag someone has to be it! the person who is it has to have a pillow case over her head so she cant see anything. the game is played in the dark. glow sticks are given to everyone and turned on the glowsticks will be visible under pillow case. the person tries to catch peeps with lights and who ever they touch is it! kinda like zombie , dead man ect. and something to go with the tee peeing is egging u shuld egg houses. find a way to get ur parents to do something else. go sleding have an epic snowball fight. oooh make snowcones! no one thought of that one! snow cones! have an unlimited amount of the flavor stuff and thier is plenty of snow outside so u use that! oh and if thier isnt enough snow outside just buy an ice shreader and a ton of ice! or u could just smash da ice wit a hammer! u could hang somewhere like a cofe shop(so u woudnt have to be wit p-arents.) hot chocolate or apple cider! watch dumb movies and u can make fun of them movies like Twilight and Titanic ,(those are good movies but peeps like to make fun of em) Have a tent slumber party and sleep outside!
have an epic water ballonn fight! be sure to cheat and use the hose

Make it an ethnic themed party and ask everyone to bring a dish that represents the culture of their ancestors (British, French, Caribbean, Mexican, Italian, etc, etc). That way, everyone will be eager to show the other people how tasty THEIR food is, and you get the free food for your party.

Choose an open venue (a park, the beach, etc) and try and loan some plastic chairs from your parents or neighbors. Get a cheap punch recipe off the internet and make sure that there's enough for everybody (you can dilute the punch with concentrated juice, loads of people do it and the best punch is always the cheapest).

Don't hold back on balloons (very cheap) and make sure you have cards and games to entertain your friends. Also, someone in your group MUST have a portable stereo you could take.

Fixed!

Have a glow in the dark dance party.
Have at either any of your parents house try too invite less than 40 people.
As it will be like a night club just have finger food on tables around the dance floor.
Get some black lights from the interent or wherever is cheap, and provide some glow stick or glow hats to people as they enter.
Make your own invitations from black cardboard glitter glue and a colourful colour in the middle with details.
If you can find a cheap dj that would be good if not just create your own cd.
If you want some more ideas google "glow in the dark dance party."

for my birthday this saturday im having a camera scavenger hunt! we're going to have teams of four and each team has a camera, then you give them a list to complete and the tasks are worth points, after an hour an a half the teams go back to your house, count up points, and the winning team gets something. heheh (:

it'll be fun and your friends will make new memories and have pictures to remember (:

tasks such as...

take a picture with a family at the food court that you dont know.
get a picture of a team mate holding hands with a cute boy/girl.

I dunno what you would do for your party but at night you could have a camp outside with your friends. Like camping in your backyard. I always thought that would be cool...OoOoHhHhHh....YOU COULD MAKE SMORES TOOOOOO!!!

have a great birthday!

its summer there right, go camping. you already have everything you need, or someone you know does, now you just need booze, or whatever you do for fun
