Lame birthdays >.<


Question Posted Sunday May 21 2006, 11:58 pm

I have no idea what to do for my birthday! all my friends have these really awesome parites and i don't wanna be a copycat. I want to do something thats fun and inexpensive. Something that all my friends can enjoy. Another problem that I have is my birthday is in July and everyone is always out of town. Last year (16th birthday) 3 people showed up, one fell asleep at like 10:30, anohter had to leave at 11, and me and my other friend got really bored because there was nothing else to do but attepmt to find something decent on tv.

Thanks for your time.

My first suggestion is to pick a few dates when you're available, and send an email to all of your friends asking when they can come. Do this ASAP, before people make plans.
Here are some birthday party ideas:

-Since you have a summer birthday, you could totally go to a waterpark or amusement park. If you have a couple close friends, you could invite just them and it wouldn't be that expensive.

-What I'm doing for my party this year is inviting four friends over and having a "spa party." We're going to paint each other's nails and give each other facials and stuff. I've found that when having an informal party at home, it really helps to have activities planned. You don't need to make a fancy schedule or whatever, but it helps to have things to do planned.

-What one of my friends did was have a shopping party. If you live near a mall, you and your friends could just go crazy in the stores. People could just bring a little money to get stuff, and windowshop the rest of the time. It was a blast.

-One word: Karaoke.

-Another friend of mine had a party at a Lasertag place. I'm not sure how much it cost, but it was a ton of fun.

-Another summer idea: pool party. Even if you don't have a pool- you could just go to a public pool in your area. Or you could go to a beach and have a barbeque.

-If you have a moderately big house, or just one big room that you could move all the furniture out of, you could have a dance party. Invite everyone in your grade and make a couple mix CDs of dance music. Hang some streamers, put out a bowl of chips, and you're good to go.

I hope these help! Have an awesome birthday.

I am not sure how much lee way your parents will give you on this, but the most fun I ever had on a birthday was a camping trip. A nice location, campfire, good food, music, lots of coleman lanterns, and chairs. Also if you are remote enough as to not bother other people, you can bring in an "unplugged" band, or even just two or three drummers, (tribal music is fun on camping trips). I don't know anything about where you live, your personal tastes etc, so this may not suite you, but it can be changed around a good bit, and still be an unusual and fun BD.
