Sweet 16 Bonfire. Urgent! Please Help?!

I think it's great that you're having a Sweet 16 Bonfire. Who cares if you're not doing the same thing as your friends. Personally I think your party would be more fun because it's more casual and people won't get all worked up about dressing and acting so formal.

I loved having bonfires when I was in high school and they only got better with each one. Here are some of my best tips for a fun and successful party. Oh, and don't forget the ice!

Arrange for a strong medium-sized trampoline. Trampoline-jumping can be a real fun thing to do at a bonfire. Have a trampoline-jumping contest and present a small gift to the person who jumps the highest and the best. Of course, take care to ensure that nobody gets hurt in the process.

Play good old spin the bottle. Combine it with a bit of truth or dare and you'll have a great evening.

What better way than a game of twister to enjoy a nice big bonfire night? With its universal appeal, you shouldn't have much of a problem finding participants for this one.

Hire a good disc jockey and ask him to play some riveting dance tracks. Pair up the oddest of couples from among the crowd and ask them to do the cha cha, rumba, salsa, hip hop, etc. Award prizes to the best couple in each category. Additionally, you can also play a few traditional campfire songs to liven up the mood further.

If anyone among you can play the guitar, bring it along! It's fun to sing some nice country songs with the gentle strumming of the guitar in the background.

If you want to go the traditional way, get a pack of cards and enjoy a few card games as the fire crackles in the background. Take it a step further by bringing along a pack of trump cards, too. We've loved them as kids and a bonfire is a great way to rekindle those childhood memories.

An eternal favorite among the ladies is the game of dumb charades or simply, charades. A classic party game that requires no introduction, charades can be hilarious and totally entertaining.

A great way to make a bonfire night even more enjoyable is to have an outdoor barbecue. You can opt for some nice grilled lobster, chicken, and sausages to go with some fine wine. At the same time, you can try roasting some mouth-watering hot dogs and marshmallows using skewers over the bonfire. After all, what's a bonfire without some great food and drink?

To make the bonfire a little more exciting and pleasing to the eye, you could consider adding a little bit of colored chemical powder to the fire. The colored powder is specially made and can be found at your local department store. It sure is a good way to 'lighten' up the proceedings!

If you are hellbent on doing something wacky, then this one's for you! You could toss a nice ripe watermelon into the bonfire and after it explodes, you could ask people to scurry around and find the pieces. The person who collects the maximum number of pieces can be given a prize.

Elderly people can simply opt to lay back on some comfortable armchairs and enjoy the ambience. If it's cold and particularly chilly, snuggle together under a blanket and indulge in some long story-telling sessions.

a bonfire is very cool!
