I'mam planning a suprise birthday party for my friend who turns 18 this saturday...Its a poolside party....and i want to make this a fun party but i dont know what kind of activities besides dancing that would be fun....Please help me .....
Answer Pick a place. Where are you going to have a party? On the street? At your house? At a friend's house? At the mall? At the local bowling alley?
Decide on a theme and/or goal for the party. If it's a dance party or a costume party be sure to have a checklist of the important elements that you think could make or break your party.
Determine a date/time for your party.
Decide on a budget. Are you able to spend a lot of money on this party or just a little? Discuss with anyone else who is going to be involved with the budget.
Find a date, if it's that kind of party. If you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend, then invite someone who you really click with. Do not, however, depend on this element to keep you company throughout the night. You're the host so you ought to mingle with everyone invited if you can.
Take into consideration who it is you want to invite to your party. Not everyone wants to dance, not everyone wants to listen to the
music, some people want to talk and relax. Accommodate for different interests and levels of social comfort with space planning if it is possible, and if applicable, different age groups.
Start picking the people. Only invite guests that you want. Only invite people who respect you not kiss-ups. Invite people you would like to get to know better, and if you want your party to be big, tell them to bring their friends. Get as accurate a count as you can before the party so as to make certain you have the space, parking, food and drink to accommodate.
Make invitations or buy them. Pass them out within a reasonable time frame of notice. If you plan on instructing your invitees to bring friends, don't send out the invitations too soon or you could end up with a bigger party population than you can handle.
Determine what food to provide. Your food choice packs a big punch in your party. If you don't know what to get, ask around to see what your future party-attendees would like. Do not neglect drinks or chilled storage for these drinks.
What's a party without music? Pick music that you think will be most agreeable to the spirit of your party and your guests. It's a good idea to have an i-tunes window open on your computer so you can download tunes that guests suggest. If you don't have the money for i-tunes and don't have a lot of your own tunes, ask your guests to bring their own. You could also play a radio station that has whatever's hot, and call in with requests!
Set the mood/tone of the party with your music, lighting, decoration and attire. If you want to have an energetic dance environment, have music, strobe lights, lasers, fog machines and maybe some video synchronized with your music.
Clean your house and clean yourself. Nobody likes a dirty party. It's a good idea to have some cleaning stuff around, and stain stick just in case someone spills on themselves or your furniture. Make sure there is enough toilet paper! It may sound weird, but you don't want the only memory of your party to be an empty tube, and you really don't want someone you may not know using your hand towels.
Have some party games set up. This does not mean what it used to with pin the tail on the donkey or spin the bottle. Some games of interest may be: Scene It: A DVD-based game where players answer trivia questions about TV shows or movies; The Real Game of Life: This is a board game with a wicked twist that isn't all sugar, spice and everything as players deal with divorced parents, mediocre jobs/income, and marriage. It can be a real laugh; Rock Band: This game is available on multiple game systems with the objective of playing as members of a band with the use of the guitar, microphone and drum kit included with the game; Guitar Hero series: This can be a one or two player game depending on which edition you choose. Like Rock Band, it uses its own controllers of the guitar nature to play through the game's levels; Dance Dance Revolution: This can be one or two player depending on what controllers you have available. Step to the music as directed by the arrows on the screen. Even if only a few people play this game, depending on which edition you choose, can provide some great music.
Have plans to address rules and guest safety.
You never know what may happen though do not get hung up on your crush's presence.
If you aren't creative, buy your invitations. Invitations set the tone of your party so choose wisely. And be sure to be personal by putting names on your invitations. This will improve your party's attendance and make for a more memorable party.
Card making programs on your computer can be helpful, but if you don't have one of these, just wing it
Consider a theme. Try to pick something that goes with the season and has a catchy name. Grab a few decorations, conversation starters or party favors that match the theme. Invite people you like and/or know -inviting people due to their status won't enhance the status of your party or its quality.

Answer
Choosing how to celebrate your 17th birthday may seem like a difficult task since it's the year sandwiched between two milestone birthdays---the 16th and 18th. To make this year's a birthday to remember, focus on something you enjoy doing, something new in your life or just having a great time while honoring the last birthday you'll celebrate without all the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood
Girl's Spa Day
Take a few of your closest friends to a local spa for a day of facials, manicures, pedicures and eyebrow shaping for a more grown-up theme. This can be the beginning of your birthday bash or the main event. For example, rent out a suite in a hotel that has an on-site spa so you can take advantage of the pool, spa, fitness center and other perks. Order room service and watch movies all night while admiring your fancy toes and fingernails.
Sports Activities
Sports-related birthday parties could include organizing a highly competitive football, basketball, volleyball or other sporting event. If you and your friends enjoy an array of sports, consider setting up mini-Olympic events and give out medals for the winners of each event. You could also get tickets to a local game featuring your favorite team or sport, even if it's a minor league team. Or plan a more involved day out for miniature golfing, go-kart racing, paint balling or nighttime cosmic bowling.
Co-Ed Party Ideas
Plan a co-ed party that falls in line with the things you and your friends enjoy. A formal black-and-white party or a hip-hop "bling" themed party will allow everyone to dress up for an event worthy of celebrities. Consider setting up a red carpet to welcome your guests complete with "paparazzi" (friends or parents taking photos). The invitations could serve as V.I.P. passes, and drinks could be brightly colored juices or mixed drinks sans alcohol. Similarly, a disco or rock-and-roll party could follow the same basic setup.
For a low-key party, consider a murder mystery event, particularly if you and your friends enjoy acting. Another idea is to simply set up a ton of food, play your favorite music and organize a video-game marathon or contest. Include popular games such as "Guitar Hero" or "Rock Band."
Birthday Outing Ideas
Plan an outing for you and a couple of close friends, or the entire group, if getting out is more your style. Consider putting a twist on a visit to your local mall by organizing a mall scavenger hunt. Separate your friends into two groups and give each team a list of tasks to complete and items to collect. This might include trying on particular clothes, taking pictures with mall employees (such as security), a button or similar items that you'd typically find at the mall. Other ideas include going to the movies, hiring a limo to take you out to a restaurant, or spending a day at a nearby theme park. And also If you like the movies, you should have a movie themed party, you could have everyone dress up as their favorite movie character. Or if there is one movie you like, you should have everyone come as a character from that movie. You could write different characters names on a piece of tape, and tape one character to the back of each person at your party. The whole night, people have to ask questions, then can only ask one question per person to figure out who they are, and they cant ask 'who am I?' Make sure for music you have different movie sound tracks, and you can even get those 'scene it' games.
