Birthday Confusion. 411 helP?
Ok, this may should a little confusing and such, but please bear with me. I have a little birthday dilemma.
My sweet sixteen birthday is in about... two weeks and since most of my friends are seniors, i want to do something special... since technically this is the last party of the year i can have with them. I wanted to do something on Saturday [my birthday], but it ended up that my parents decided to go to one of their business partner's dinner instead... so I was planning to play laser tag then have everyone go to my house... but now that my parents won't be home... that won't be possible. I can't have my birthday on friday or sunday because everyone, including me has classes those days. And i cant do it the week after because of christmas break, plus i was hoping to do it the week of my birthday.
That's the first question. What should i do for my birthday?
Second issue. I'm new to my school by a year [this is my second year here] and i have two groups of friends. One i hang out occasionally and one i hang out every lunch, break, after school, etc. People in both groups are my friends and I'm still best friends with my friends from my old school. One group is my senior friends while the other one is my junior friends, then there are my old school friends. I wanted to have a huge party with all three groups, but now that i think about it.. 29 people is A LOT. So i decided to divide it into 1) senior friends and 2) junior friends [old school and new]. So basically two different parties [dunno how my parents would think about that... oh well] I want to take one group laser tag-ing and another group to just hang out at my home or something. I dont think combining the junior group and senior would be a good idea since they dont know each other that well...[some of my junior friends met my old friends]. I want to take both groups out laser tag-ing... but that seems impossible, it would be a bit complicated. I'm at my wits end of what to do for my birthday. ANy suggestions of what i should do?
Please dont tell me 'just invite one group' because i cant do that, they're all really close to me.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
OK, so would your parents allow you to go laser tagging with your friends on your actual birthday? If they want an adult around, is there anyone they would trust to be the "chaperone" of your laser tagging party? After laser tagging, maybe you all could go to a pizza place (I'd definitely call in advance and reserve tables!) instead of going back to your house. Again, if your parents want an adult to accompany you guys, is there someone who would do it? If you want people to come back to your house, would your parents be willing to ask one or two of their friends to hang around the party so that it doesn't get out of hand and they can feel comfortable having all these kids in the house?
I know 29 people sounds like a lot (uh, and it is), but I'd go ahead and get the whole group together at one time, if possible. Hey, they may like getting to know new people. If they all like you, the probability of them liking your other friends is high!
I'm not sure why you don't want your party to be on the Friday before your b'day. You say you guys have school that day. OK, well the classes are earlier in the day, right? Lots of people have parties on Friday nights whether they're in school or go to work. Then they have Saturday to recuperate! I could understand why you might not want a party on Sunday because you guys will have classes the very next day. But Friday sounds like a good compromise to me unless there's something I'm missing.
Now, if you absolutely can't have your party on Friday, and If your parents don't like the idea of you doing anything on your brithday because THEY won't be around for whatever you do, then would you consider having a b'day/holiday party while you guys are on break? I know that's not as fun as having it ON or really near your birthday, but it might be fun. Since the holidays are so close to your birthday, you could easily make it a b'day/holiday party, announcing that you're starting off the upcoming New Year with a very special age and YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY READY TO MAKE IT THE BEST YEAR EVER by having all of your friends with you, celebrating, at this happy time - the beginning of a new year, the beginning of a new start, the beginning of a major turning point in your life!
Happy Sweet 16! I hope you can work this out to where you'll be happy since it's such a BIG deal (and really it is) to FINALLY turn 16! I'd love to know what you and your parents work out!

Well, try to convince your parents to let you have it when they arnt home or do it this week.................................and i think that you should just risk it and invite them all together because there will be a lot of peoplel either way and they might just all get along. plus if theres that many peoplel it will be difficult for them not to get along. or you could just have half a group for you bday and then have the second group for kinda a new years/bday party. or just have one big new years party with about 100 people since you seem to be popular lol. but i know how you feel with having different groups of friends. i had that problem 2 year of high school. whatever way you decide to do it, just remember, its your birthday and you shouldnt be stressing on your bday. its YOUR day.
