Eurgh. I've only ever been to 2 bday parties in my life and we don't hold parties here at my place
because:
1. it's an apartment. large, but not like a house.
2. music will disturb the neightbours.
3. I can't be bothered cleaning up
If I have a party I would have:
* music as a dancing sorta disco thing
* a karaoke system and microphones so we can sing like drunkards
* ddr for fun
* fun foods- of course there would be junk, but mostly like pizza and stuff
* not sure about alcohol. I wouldn't suggest it. My friend once held a bbq and then he wrote on invitations
"alcohol will be strictly monitored"- and then his friend got smashed up, vomitted lots and the next day he
said "my body aches" >_> And plus they played mahjong until dawn. Uhhhh not a great idea >_> Oh,
that and you don't ever know what you'll do under the influence of alcohol.
I do prefer going out more than having parties- parties are limited. You don't spend money- you either drink, chat,
dance, or sing or eat- and that's about it. You could always um put on a movie on the TV or something- but with 20+
people coming, choosing a movie is very hard esp when one says they like romance whereas the rest are like
ewwwwwwwww.
So yeah-- you might want to ask your friends (those you want to invite) as well :P those are a few suggestions... but
^_^' then again I'm a bit of a party pooper heheheh
