Fun ideas for 19th birthday party?!


Question: Fun ideas for 19th birthday party?
Hey everyone! I'll be turning 19 in a few weeks and I have started to think of ideas for an affordable, safe, and entertaining birthday celebration with about 10 close friends (nothing involving alcohol, clubbing, etc as I am not interested in these ideas). I need some hostess tips, party themes, and food ideas for a party at home in the daytime. Thanks very much! As I'm a university student on a tight budget, an inexpensive get-together is key. Also, I was thinking of hosting a Halloween-themed party with treats, scary movies, and tons of spooky decorations. Would this be cool? I'm open to new suggestions and appreciate the help :)

Hi

Here's some ideas for Halloween. I thrown a Halloween party for my kids nearly every year so far, alternate between the two of them as one is now 9 and the other 17 so their needs and what acceptable is a little different.

I'm just in the middle of building a web site on 'Party themes' and one of the sections is 'Halloween party ideas for teenagers' there's also a page for younger kids.

Below is an example of a Halloween theme, Mad scientists Laboratory. Another one I really like is the zombie dinner party and Dolls house (that's ones simple but creepy) There's also some good ideas on creating a Zombie Graveyard.

Here's an extract from the web site.... if you fancy visiting it the address is http://creative-kids-partys.com it’s a nonprofit site and still under construction on some pages but I hope it helps if you take a look. There’s food, invitation and games ideas to.

Halloween party ideas for teenagers - Zombie Graveyard

With just a little imagination and carefully placed zombie corpses a garden can quite easily become a ‘Zombie Graveyard’.

Create Headstones using sheets of cardboard you can really strong sheets of card from supermarkets, they’re always glad to get rid of some. You cut these into different grave shapes and paint grey and then write on names of the deceased. Place these at random throughout the garden or yard, up against fences or standing up free, a simple line cut a couple of inches down into the grass will allow the grave to stand up on its own. Details like blood and slime can also be added if you like.

If you live in a climate where it’s cold at Halloween, although originally from Britain, I now live in Australia so Halloween is in summer, then you can work wonders with a big pile of autumn leaves. So if you can get your hands on a great big pile of leaves then you can lay these out in front of the grave stones to resemble where the body would be.

If you can either create or acquire body parts, arms legs, hands then these can be placed in the leave so that it looks like the zombies are rising form the dead.

These kinds of really creative Halloween party ideas for teenagers will be real winners with all their friends. I’ll bet you have lots of help to once you tell them what your ideas are! Playing kids Halloween party games set in these fantastic settings will have teens really spooked.

Thriller.....

A different direction for Zombies could be to add a music theme and host a Michael Jackson Thriller party with all the guests dressed as zombies...

Good luck and Happy Halloween
