2. you should have music so people can dance, thats what most people do at parties. or just chilling and talking, if you have like a foozeball table or pool table you could play that, too.
3. i would just invite both of them. it's not fair to you or "Joe" (who your throwing the party for) to not just because they don't lie each other. there will be enough people there that they don't have to hang out with each other - and if they start to cause drama, explain to them nicely that you want this to be a happy expierence for Joee and to please not start anything [ summerGIRL_xo's advice column | Ask summerGIRL_xo A Question ]

1. To get over your jealousy, you could just make it a joint birthday party, or arrange something for your bday the week after. Just try to get involved in planning his party
2. I have parties alot and usually we dont play many games, everyone just dances, listens to music, chats, drinks and eats. But, if you want to play games then the best ones are truth or dare and spin the bottle. Limbo is also a good one. Oh, and the guys just love having breakdancing competitions. Usually everyone gets in a giant crowd/circle and then boys will get in the middle and breakdance/just dance and everyone cheers and at the end you can shout out all the boys who breakdanced names and get people to scream for who they want to win when you say that perons name, if you get what i mean.
I went to a party yesterday actually where we played this game, there were two rows of boys opposite each other, holding the hands of the guy opposite them, and then there was a queue of girls that went through the tunnel the guys had made. There was music playing and when the music stopped the guys dropped their hands and the girls stood up, then the dj would say "shake hands with the guy on you right/left, the next time he would say 'tell the person on your left/right you luv them', then 'ask the person on your left/right to marry you', then 'hug the person on your left/right', 'kiss' and 'snog'. So when the music stopped you would stand up and do the dare to the guy whose hands you had stopped in. I hope that makes sense, it was hard to explain.
3. if both those girls are mates with the guy, then invite them both. [ tropicalbabe33's advice column | Ask tropicalbabe33 A Question ]
CiNdYLoUwHoO answered Saturday May 20 2006, 12:28 am: Okay. Here's my advice.
1. Try not to be jealous, even though it's hard. Get involved with planning the party and you won't have time to notice your jealousy. Also, your doing something nice for someone, so that should make you feel good. So don't feel jealous, just be happy your going to make someone else's day special.
2. You can put on music and of course have food. You can play games like truth or dare and spin the bottle, or just have a very "chill" party and watch movies and sit around and talk. If you want it to be more exciting, you can have a cake fight (it's more fun if its on the spur of the moment) or you can have some sort of scavenger hunt, where you have to go to peoples houses and get items.
3. As for these girls, if they are both friends with the birthday boy, invite them both. It's his day, not theirs, and they're going to need to learn to get along sooner or later. Also if you really think it's going to be a problem, make sure they know each other is going, and warn them if anything is started up, they'll both get kicked out.
sasi721 answered Saturday May 20 2006, 12:08 am: My advice to you to help you get over your jealousy is to think postively about what you are doing (that you are doing it for him and not for yourself.) You can always have a seperate party or get together to celebrate your birthday maybe earlier in the day or the following day, maybe invite some friends to go out to lunch or a movie or go get y'alls nails/hair done together before the party.. that way you are celebrating both yours and his at seperate times. I wish i could help you out more on games but im not to sure what people your age do these days and what y'all are into.. maybe play a movie, have music so y'all can dance..? (Wish i could help you out more on that question!!)
Here are some sites that may be helpful (they have different kinds of games for teenagers):
Now the question about your 2 friends.. my advice on that is to talk to each of them before the party and let them know what you are thinkin and how you feel. Tell each of them (in a nice way) that your afraid something might happen (drama at the party) but that you want to invite both of them and if they could keep things cool for the night and save the arguin/braggin/fightin for another time. Let them know that you have invited both of them before the party so that there are no suprises (prepare them) and if they can't respect that maybe they shouldn't be there (even if they are good friends of yours.)
