You Should have Unos Quinces Its Just like Sweet Six Teen But at Fifteen

Answer 2

Well, first, if your friends don't like each other, but they are YOUR friends, you can talk to them beforehand and ask them for one night to withhold their differences for YOU.  Real friends WILL do that!!  Tell them that you're nervous about what will happen, but you really want to have a party with everyone there and if they can please do this for YOU and your birthday party.  I'm sure they will!  You can also talk to them about not making comments under their breath and that you will make sure that the others do the same.

Now, on to the party!  If you're going to swim, set up some lounge chairs and waterproof cushions around the pool to make it a lounge area so that when you and your friends are not swimming, you can hang out poolside.

Get an inflatable boat and fill it with ice and put your drinks in there and float it in the pool.  Just make sure to tell your friends that the tops MUST go back in the boat, if they go in the water, they WILL break the filter and I'm sure no one is going to want your pool broken for the summer!  Including your parents!  The boat with the drinks floating in the pool will look cool and you'll have your drinks right there when you want them.

Get some beach balls and scatter them in the pool, everyone will play around with them.

Get a volleyball net and set it up, everyone can play volleyball and badmitten.

I would say to do waterballoon fights, but if you have friends that don't get along, it may not be such a good idea, you'll have people trying to really throw balloons at others and trying to hurt them and then saying it's part of the game.  NOT a good idea!

You can get an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it with water, break into 2 teams and have a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the pool!

Set up an ice cream bar.  Get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and some toppings. Sprinkles, chocolatey syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and marachino cherries and have everyone make their own sundaes.  You can get the tall plastic sundae glasses at the dollar store or get the waffle cone bowls at the grocery store, same aisle as the ice cream cones.

For food, no matter what you do for a theme, do what you like and whatever your favorite foods are.  There's NO sense in a following a theme for food when you may not even like the food.  Serve whatever YOUR favorites are, this is YOUR birthday and your party, a time to have YOUR favorite foods!  If it's bbq, do burgers and hot dogs, if it's tacos, have a taco bar, etc.  Also have chips and snacks and candies that you like!

You can also do a pie eating contest, BUT instead of pie, fill the tins with whipped cream and whoever finishes first, wins!

I would stay away from games like truth or dare and things like that being you have some girls that don't like each other, you don't want anyone asking things that are too personal  just to embarrass them or have them do something embarrassing and use the excuse that it's part of the game.  I would stay away from that for this party.  Just my opinion though.  I would stay away from anything that can get personal you don't want it to become something that can be used against each other and the reason become the game and someone end up with hurt feelings.

You can also do a pinata, the pull string ones.  I would stay away from the bat ones!  You don't want anyone clubbing anyone and saying they couldn't see them!  If you do that kind, DO NOT blindfold them!! Just make them take a swing and keep everyone far away from the person taking the shot at it!  You can find a pinata you like at any party store and in the same aisle there's what's called pinata filler and what it is, is big bags of candy and things to put in them and there's still room to put in the favorites you want to add.

If you do make-overs and manicure and pedicures, make sure to pair up everyone with the people they like.  You don't want someone coming out with a horrid makeover because they were paired with someone that didn't like them.  You can do each other nails, pedicures and make-up, just make sure to tell your friends to bring their flip flops so their pedicures don't get ruined!

If you're going to be outdoors when it gets dark during the party, get some clear stringed Christmas lights or some stringed lantern lights and hang them around the party area.  It will look really pretty to have them on and all around the party area, and it's better than having a blaring overhead light on when you're hanging out with your friends.  The stringed lights add a really nice festive mood and atmosphere.

You can also do a party with the theme of Hollywood.  You can get some red carpet or fabric and have it at the entrance of your house and have everyone enter on that.

Then, you can go to Blockbuster and get those cardboard popcorn buckets and get one for each girl so that everyone has their own popcorn bucket during the movies and you can get the big boxes of movie candy and you can pass them around to share during the movies.

You can also hang up a white sheet and use that as a backdrop for you and your friends to pose and take pictures in front of.  You can go out and buy, or ask your friends to bring over some props with them, things like boas, hats, sunglasses, etc, anything fun that you and them can pose with, and then you and them pose with each other and the props and take pictures in front of the sheet and have fun!  Who knows, maybe that will bring the other girls together!

You can make that part of the after party after the movie and then you can eat, do cake and presents and play games.  You can do charades, (again, be careful with this one) twister, trivia games, etc.

I would also tell everyone to bring their blankets and pillows so they can lounge and be comfortable during the movies.

I wouldn't worry too much about the friends that don't like each other, just have a talk with those that you know have a problem with the others before they come.  When you're on the phone with them, just ask them if they can please put their differences aside for the party and do it for you for your birthday, even if there's something said or done that they don't agree with.

Then, just avoid the games and things that could spark a conflict.  Like I mentioned earlier, games like truth or dare, that could really start something.  If a girl doesn't like another girl, she could ask her to  say something that she knows would embarrass her and say it's all in fun and then when the girl says dare she'll make her do something that's horrible and use the game as the excuse, so I would stay away from Truth or Dare at all costs.  It's sad that you can't play some games that you might normally play, but you don't want to risk it and you don't want anyone getting embarrassed or their feelings hurt in front of everyone else.

Other things, make sure if you do the pinata, do NOT make them blindfolded, you don't want someone wacking someone in the legs or anywhere and use the excuse that they couldn't see them.

Make sure that during charades no one uses that oppurtunity to act out bad things about another person.  You may want to consider NOT doing charades.  Unless you stick to a strict theme, like movies, music, ect.  Make sure PERSON is NOT part of that theme.  You don't want to give them the chance to make fun of anyone!!

It's sad that you have to do this on your birthday, but you know, your friends may totally surprise you!  You may have the girls that like each other staying together and just not bothering with the other girls and just leaving it at that.  Your friends may come through because of your birthday and you may not go through any of this!  It IS possible!

The talk you have beforehand may do the trick.  I've been through this with one of my niece's b'day parties and I have to see the talk did the trick.  What they did was the ones that were friends all stayed together and it was like groups, it's hard to have it that way but it's better than fighting.  

Good luck, I hope you have a great party and a very Happy Birthday!

Summertime

  

With just a few small details it’s easy to carry any theme throughout a beach party. Make it a luau and put tropical umbrellas in fruity juice drinks. Offer each guest a lei of plastic flowers as they arrive. Play limbo games, serve trays of fresh fruit including pineapple and mango and decorate with exotic flowers, such as birds of paradise or hibiscus. If you’re hosting a more.

A more family-friendly affair is a 60s-style beach blanket bingo party with set to Beach Boys music and featuring beach balls in the pool, in-pool volleyball and lots of all-American hot dogs and hamburgers from a grill. Serve Coke with ice cream for floats and let everyone relax on the blankets or towels you provide around the pool.

Planning the Perfect Pool Party

Make a Splash this Summer

Make a splash this season by throwing an unexpectedly spectacular pool party. Most hosts assume swimming will be the centerpiece of a pool party and don’t do much to enhance the experience. You can change that by planning for everything out of the pool with these suggestions, starting with the invitation. Invite guests to “dive in” to your party with invitations shaped liked pools, or diving boards, flip flops, beach balls, or other pool accessories. Or just use bright colors such as lime green, turquoise blue, tangerine or hot pink to give your invitation a summertime feel and continue those colors in your décor around the pool.

Speaking of décor, get creative by letting pool accessories substitute for other useful items. An inflatable small boat or a child’s plastic pool can become your ice chest. Use small children’s pails to hold mixed fruit or veggie pieces and plastic shovels to serve. Hollow out a coconut or pineapple for use as a serving tray. Use overturned Frisbees and little bit of water to float votive candles for light on tables for nighttime parties along with tiki torches for an exotic touch. Seashell arrangements can also be tabletop decorations. Sample-size tubes of sunscreen work great as party favors.

As for the food, if your party is purely for kids, don’t prepare a lot of fo od, since children will spend most of their time swimming. But you will want to have at least appetizers and nibblers to keep the party going on land for adults since not everyone will be in the water at the same time. Keep the food light, since your guests will be swimming at some point. Think fruits, veggies and salads. Try Smithfield.com’s Savannah Swiss Dogs  or the Grilled Vidalia Onion Steak with an Onion Poppy Seed Dressing , which are great light touches that feed a crowd well. If you are looking for a delicious dessert that is easy for your guests to eat, try the Best Ever Carrot Cupcakes  Avoid alcohol for swimmers; instead go for tropical fruit juice, soda, bottled water or tea. Since the food will likely be outside for long periods of time, consider food safety  when planning your menu.

Casual is key for a pool party. Don’t bother with too many tables; just make sure your guests have plenty of places to sit by putting out lots of beach chairs, patio chairs, beach blankets and extra large colorful towels. Set up a couple of large tables for snacks and beverages with plenty of paper or plastic plates, cups, napkins and utensils. And don’t forget to place several trash receptacles out and about.

Set up a stereo and speaker system near the pool for some beach music to keep everyone in the mood. Put out all of your pool toys for both kids and adults. Swimming noodles, beach balls and squirt guns are inexpensive and will keep children busy and help adults get in the spirit. If you can, set up a volleyball net across the shallow end of the pool. But be sure to keep safety top of mind. Ask parents about their child’s swimming skills and make sure you have enough chaperones to go around.

And remember, you don’t have to have your own pool or belong to a luxury country club to throw a great pool party. Community pools or swim clubs often will have clubhouses and pools that can be rented out for parties. Check the phone book or ask around your neighborhood for sources. And try to explain to your friends that it your birthday and that you want them to act if they all love each other even if they don't . just tell them to try to be friendly for you.

Answer 4

well for one you can tell your friends that they can get along for just one night or go home(that always works for my party's) as for games, you could do things like a no mirror make over (each guest brings their makeup and you make sure their are no mirrors in the room then get to work!! do your makeup with no mirror then snap a few pics for the scrapbook!! don't be surprised if the turnout is less than fabulous!)you could also marble some paper,make some cookies, or play Marco polo in the pool or something

hope i helped!!

Answer 5

Well you cant allow anyone to determine who youll invite....after all, its YOUR birthday and you should have  who you want.  On the other hand, you dont want anything like petty little indifferences  among your "friends" to dampen the joy of the occassion.  If its a sleepover, liimit yourself to just a few close friends (not acquaintances...theres a difference!)  Use the pool, maybe rent some good movies, order some pizza, have lots of snacks available, and just have fun.  Dont invite anyone you may have to worry about getting into an argument, etc.  This is YOUR day...dont worry about pleasing everyone else.  If they are truly friends, those who you decide not to invite will understand that a sleepover cannot consist of more than a cuppla girls.  Whatever you decide, just have loads of fun and keep it respectful!

Answer 6

Okay this is what i think you should do,if u Ur inviting boys you should play pass the card with your mouth  and spin the bottle pool party and if u live near the beach than take them over there and have a beach party,if girls only then have a dance completion and play secert life ( with a bottle) if the girl dislike each other than just tell them plz enjoy each other because this is my b-day and i would hate that if you did that.

hoped that helped!
