how to throw an awesome house party
My friend threw a party at her house in early may which i didn't attend because I was sick. Anyway, from what I heard, it was stupid/boring/not much/etc. She's throwing one Aug. 12 & she's asking for my help so I started by setting up a guestlist. What can I do to make this a really awesome house party? I really want her to be able to say that she had a great time at her party. So my questions are:
*Would it be better to have a theme? like dance party and decorate her garage with crazy lights & music or just a chill party... eat food, do some stuff?
*Should we send out invitations or is that too 3rd grade-ish? (I would probably design these)
*What kind of food/drinks should she plan on getting?
*What are some fun things to suggest playing/doing? I don't want to have to make people do anything like a little kid party but maybe some organization would be good.
details:
we'd probably have it in her 2 car garage. it'd be about 25 people there total. We don't have a ton of money to put into this... I do have a lot of hose lights and things like that. We're all 15/16.
thanks so much for all of your help! <3

This is what I would do.
For the theme question, no. Don't have a theme. Personally, I despise themes. They annoy me because everything has to match and all that crap, so it makes everything so complicated.
Set up a table in her garage with music and food along with some lights and music and let everyone talk for about twenty minutes after everyone gets there and while your waiting for the people to arrive.
As for the invitations, well, some of your friends might be stuck up and think invitations are "gay" even though it's pretty much impossible for a piece of paper to be gay. Whatever. Anyways, I would get everyone's phone numbers of who you are inviting and call them and give them the details and see if they can come or not.
The food.
Get a bowl of chips like the original, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and any other kind you want. Also, get a plate of celery and carrots with ranch and blue cheese dressing. Then get a bowl of candy. Put snickers, milky ways, hershy kisses, and things like that in it. All of the stuff I just listed..put that all on the table in the garage. And for dinner (if they are staying that late), I would just order two large cheese pizzas and two large pepperoni pizzas.
The drinks.
Get coke, water, sweet tea, root beer, and sprite.
Now, the games.
You can play truth or dare.
You can prank call people.
Just sit around and talk.
You can play spin the bottle.
You could set up a big tv somewhere and rent a movie that everyone agrees on and watch it.
You can go swimming.
Then, 10 or 15 minutes before the time people are suppossed to be leaving, start heading back to the garage and talk for a little while and get something to eat till everyone goes home.

well i myself have had a couple of partys, all of which have been fun ass all hell(except for the fact that a couple kids have gotten hurt, but that's just cause we're monsters) But to answer your questions
1.Well it depends on the party, usally i have bonfires, which are great fun, but you must remember that a party is a liveing breathing thing, it needs air to breth into it, the people coming are not based on the party the party is based on the people, my friends are wild so we just light shit on fire, blow stuff up and go with the flow, let it run the course.
2. Only send invitations if you plan on having only certain people come, what i did is i would tell a couple of my friends and have them pass the word, makesit a suprise, never know whos goin to show (but you should try to keep tabs)
3.the best bet is soda and pizza, to cut the cost ask people comin to bring two dollars or shit like that if they plan on eating, based on the amount of people coming is how you should guess proportion
4. stuff like manhunt, a sprinkler, cards, the best thing to do is put out a bunch of stuff so that everyone has somthin to choose, people wanna play football, give em a ball, throw out some cards, w/e, all based on the attendence.
Btw, great partys don't need lots of money, great partys need some of these
1. music
2. crazy people
3. people willing to deal with the after math
GoodLuck, don't stress it or it ain't a party, go with the flow get down with your inner party animal

P.S a hose never hurts to have on hand 1) it can cause great fun 2) it calms down people goin out of control. oh yea, if you do prank phone calls do this one
when the person picks up use this outline of dialouge as a guide
-hello
-Hel.. hello is lusy there?
-umm you have the wrong phone number
- where... where's lucy
- wrong number call again hun
- i dont have any more quarters
- well you have the wrong phone number
- can i have a quarter?
make it goes as long as you can, interupt, be stupid and use a high childish voice
