does anyone know a good website that tells good tips on having a party for no reason? or does anyone know any really good tips? like games, who to invite, food...etc. THANKS!
This site talks about hiring a DJ, but I would think that if one of your friends knows a lot about music, you could ask him or her to fill in as a "DJ." Or, you can just arrange the music you'd like played at your party and make sure you keep up with the stereo if you don't have one person able to watch over the music selection. This site also talks about some old time "kid' games that could be fun using your favorite music even though the games may sound youngish to you. It is suggesting a new twist to these games.

One site had these tips re: drink and food:
Tip:
Teens tend to eat a lot. When you´re purchasing food, figure that each teen will probably consume three to four cans of soda each, one to two servings of the main course and about 1/2 bag of snacks.
Tip:
Set up a taco bar and let the teens build their own tacos for an example of foods to serve for teen parties. Provide taco shells or tortillas, taco meat mixture, chopped tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, onions, hot sauce, salsa and sour cream.
Tip:
The best foods for teen parties are the grab and go kind: pizza, burgers, tacos, fried chicken and sub sandwiches.
Another site made these food recommendations:
-Choose portable foods that can be eaten with the hands: tacos, burgers, pizza and "wraps" are good teen foods and are easy to make or buy.
-A one-pot entr�e, such as chili or pasta, can be easy to make and can be served with paper plates and disposible utensils.
-Offer a sandwich bar with cold cuts, cheeses, condiments and bagels, wraps, breads and buns.
-Place bowls of snacks around where you want the kids to congregate, such as in the den or backyard.
-Fill tubs, plastic garbage pails or coolers with ice and cans of drinks.
-Keep one iced cooler for watermelon, pineapple or other healthy fruit offerings.
-Consider cupcakes instead of a cake for ease of eating and cleaning up.
-Cut up veggies and serve with dips such as ranch, hummus, French or French onion.
