My friend needs a place for a sweet sixteen in orange county and it needs to be cheap do you have any ideas?

Question

We need to have a big place for lots of people, and it will be both girls and boys.

Answer 1

Your backyard?  Hello, why does every 15/16 yr old want to have a party at a restaurant?

Not only is it very very expensive (unless it's at like BJ's or somewhere like that) and you have to TIP on top of all the other costs.

Have it as someones house, at the beach or in a park. Order a big 6ft sandwich from Subway & enjoy!

Answer 2

Since you mentioned "needs to be cheap", what do you think of:

DAVE & BUSTERS at the IRVINE SPECTRUM (D & B 's policy is 6 minors ["minors" referring to anyone under 21] per 1 adult guardian).  If this is a consideration, call for further details and find out if this works out for you (www.daveandbusters.com)

(.......plus, you added add'l info. at a later time re: ...lots of people, both boys and girls......so I deleted the idea about a slumber party)

OR

If you or someone you know live in a tract home that has a clubhouse,  consider reserving and using a clubhouse. It's usually free, and they usually have a pool; kitchen area and recreation area too.  Throw in a few outdoor games like (bean bag or corn toss [popular game with college students in the East coast]) or water balloon toss, volleyball, etc......depends on the space that the clubhouse has available.  Throw in food items such as pizza, wraps or sandwiches w/drinks and/or frozen fruit smoothie bar.

OR

Old Spaghetti Factory  

2110 Newport Blvd

Newport Beach, CA 92663

It's cheap and fun for the occasion.  

Hope this helps!
