17th birthday party ideas?
So I'm going to be turning 17 in a month. The last time I had a birthday party, I was turning 14.
I have no idea what I should do for it. I want to have a lot of friends over. I could just play music but there isn't much to do at my house.
Last time I had a trampoline and a wii that kept people occupied but now we don't really have anything.
I mean all I know is music and food.
So have any ideas to help?

I have a great idea! If it's still warm outside you should have a bunch of people come over at night. You all should fill up a whole bunch of water ballons and get some water guns and anything else water fun and have a water fight when it gets kinda dusk dawn into the night. This would be a lot of fun at night at a safe park/ playground where you guys could slide and remember the the funny times as a kid.
Maybe you could have like a movie marathon and make snacks that pertain to the movie and even dress up like one of the characters.

I feel like, if you have a big and delicious cake, people will somewhat forgive you if your party is lacking in entertainment. But obviously, you don't want to turn them loose on a cake in an empty room. :P
Does it have to happen at your house? You could always invite everyone to a private party at a skating rink or to laser tag. Or maybe set up a paintball tournament (with proper safety equipment and perhaps waivers, you don't want to get sued after all). Of course, all of these will cost extra.
If it's still warm enough where you live, you could set up a water fight in your backyard. Buy some water guns, balloons, and all those other water toys they sell at the dollars store... maybe some obstacles to hide behind as well. You could set out some buckets full of pre-filled water balloons and other buckets full of water for refilling. Be sure to tell everyone to bring swimsuits or clothes that can get wet, as well as towels. This would make for an awesome party if it's not too cold and the majority of your partygoers are super uptight.
If all you can scrounge up is music, try to get your guests dancing. Music isn't very entertaining if everyone is just sitting around listening to a stereo. Be sure to find music that everyone will like and be able to dance to, or at least get a bit of music that the friends with different tastes will also like. You could set up a dance area so everyone's a little more scrunched in, and so long as you are SURE no one there is epileptic, you could add in special lights as well. Maybe set up a mini rave with low lights and free glowsticks as party favors.
Depending on your group of friends, you could play some classic party games like truth or dare. Personally, I'd feel weird letting a bunch of teens play truth or dare in my house if they're the 'crazy dare' type. Will you ever get the image of your best friend licking your toilet out of your mind? And if sexual things and genital-harming dares get involved, just... I don't know, maybe try and limit the dares to outside. Just be aware that in some groups it stays boringly vanilla while in other groups you might end up seeing or doing things you never ever wanted to see or do. You know your guests best; you decide.
Also depending on your group of friends, some may show up drunk/drugged whether you want them to or not. If they bring anything with them that you don't want there, there may not be much you can do about it. And drunk or not, they may break things, or steal them... I have seen beautifully painted hollowed eggshells crushed, jade figurines knocked off shelves and broken, knobs on electronics snapped off; plan ahead by moving these types of things to an off limits room.
Anyway, all of these good ideas depending on your friends. I don't know them, so maybe all of my ideas are stupid and inappropriate for them, but hopefully something here can be of use to you. Have fun!
