8th grade graduation party, HELP!?

Question

I am having a graduation party and need some ideas.

We dont have a pool. but we do have a vollyball/badmitten net that we are going to set up.

We have a entertainment budget of $100.00. What else should there be?

It is mostly going to be family but there is going to be like 10 freinds there (boys and girls)

We have a food budget of $150.00, What kind of food?

My grandpa is going to DJ for us, what songs? hip-hop/pop/rap etc.)

Any other ideas??????

PLEASE help me!

Thanks!

Answer 1

For food, go with what you like, you can do a barbeque, you can do pasta, chicken, salads, etc.  Whatever you like, go with, it's YOUR party and you have to like what you're eating.

You can also set up an ice cream bar, get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream with some toppings.  Sprinkles, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and cherries and get those paper bowls and have everyone make their own sundaes.

You can do relay races with your friends.  You can do potato sack races, three legged races, water balloon fights, etc.

Being your grandfather is going to DJ you can set up an area to dance in and have people dance.  For the music, again, go with what you like.  I would do a mix though of what you like and what the grown-ups may like.  Do some of the top 40 and whatever music you like.  It's your party and have the music you like.   Just one thing I would do, when everyone's eating, even throughout the party, I wouldn't  make it too loud where people can't hear themselves talk over the music.

I hope some of these ideas help.  Congratulations on your graduation!
