Answer 1

Reputation is EVERYTHING! If you've been trustworthy, your

parents shouldn't have an issue. And of course they'll need to be there. Anywhere I can think of, would still have a cut-off time for loud music. You may think of inviting all the parents of all your invitees, I know this doesn't sound like alot of fun, but I always had a blast with my parents. They got to know my friends and my friends got to know them.

Well, music at the park can't really happen.  So your best bet is to try to convince the rents.  Be sure to mention that they can be there, there will be no alcohol, etc.  Tell them that you'll supply them with a list beforehand of who will attend.  Tell them that you're all chipping in on the cost (that'll be a relief to them in and of itself).  Also, gather a few (like 5 maybe) of your girlfriends to be the after party cleaning crew.  Assure your parents that there will be no mess and nothing broken after the party.  Making up a contract that you will sign is a good idea.  Also, you may have to negotiate how late the party can go on.  Probably midnight, depending on how old you guys are, is the latest you'll be able to get.  I suggest going to the parents who have the biggest house first, or the best space to have a party.  Then work your way down from there.  The more sets of parents you ask, the better your chances of getting a yes, right?

Oh, and if you have a good report card to show them at the end of the year, you can always pull the "we've all worked so hard, and we want to reward ourselves" card.  

And if you know any friends that have a house sort of out of town, like a more rural setting, with no neighbors too close, you may be able to arrange to have the party there, outside, and the music might not be too much of a problem.

Answer 3

In order to convince your parents will have to have a plan:

Venue:

Will any areas of your home be off limits? Will guests arrive through areas shared by you and your neighbors?

Guest list:

Draw up a list of people to invite; try to limit this to around 10 to 30 people.

Running time:

Agree on a reasonable start and end time for the party.

Neighbors:

Neighbors who have been 'kept in the loop' will be less likely to overreact at the sight of teens converging at your place

Pre-warn your neighbours and let them know what time the party will end. Neighbours who have been 'kept in the loop' will be less likely to overreact at the sight of teens converging at your place, and less likely to complain.

Your things:

Put aside breakable items and valuables before the guests arrive.

Music:

Agree beforehand on just how loud the music will be.

Food:

Be sure to serve plenty of food.

Agree to help make the food.

Drink:

Offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks, such as fizzy drinks, juice and water. You could also make a large bowl of non-alcoholic punch. I doubt your parents want the responsibility of underage drinking but if they don't mind thats their choice.

Smoking and drugs:

Expect visitors to obey your parents' house rules about smoking.

Supervision:

Your parents will most likely want to be there, they don't have to be too involved but it would be good if they had a few of their own friends their to talk to.

Safety and security:

Think about setting aside a 'safe' room at the party where guests can put their coats and bags. Make sure a responsible adult keeps an eye on the room.

After the party:

Agree to help clean up, you can even arrange for your best friend to spend the night and help too.
