Answer 1

It would help to know how old you all are.  Maybe you could play games?  Sounds dumb at first, but I was just at a pic nic Saturday, and we played Scattergories, it was so fun!  You've said what no one wants to do, but have you asked your friends what they would like to do?  Maybe if they help to plan it, they'll be more likely to enjoy themselves.

Answer 2

Here's some outdoor events:

- take some inflatable water mattresses and float on your pond (no one is in the water so no fears of crawdads)

- play croquet or minigolf (you can make a nice little minigolf course without destroying your property.)

- mix up some posh magaritas (booze free is just as nice if you're underage) and lay under the sun.

- buy some movies and chill inside at night (you need my "Sixteen Candles" - it's this classic 80s flick)

- beach volleyball (or if you're lacking the beach, then just volley ball)

- badminton/tennis

- scavenger hunt (I'm not sure how old you are, but this could be fun.  Especially if you go into teams and your mom hides things that you need to find)

Since it's your good friends, bring a laptop outside, blare some good tunes and just lay back!  

I'm not sure how old you are, but one of my most memorable birthdays was when we all painted t-shirts.  

I've also done ceramic painting - clearly, I'm an artsy kid with artsy friends...but everyone had a blast with these.

Do you have any places you could visit near your home?

Relax though. Your party won't be a complete disaster.  With 4 of your good friends, everyone will get a long and the fun will just happen.

Plan some good foods and fun drinks and enjoy the company.

Answer 3

Do it in the city or have a democratic vote for what to do.

Answer 4

buy a half ounce of weed and roll some blunts then everyone will want to come.

Answer 5

have a bon fire, play guitar hero or rock band or something, there's always poker or euchre.  it's hard to say when I don't know how old you are or what else you have access too.  do you have a video camera?  my bro and his friends always make these silly movies... but they have a blast doing it.
