Friend's 17th Birthday Suprise Party

RE: Friend's 17th Birthday Suprise Party Post By marie (Guest Post) (12/06/2007) Get a frame & mat for one big picture or a frame & mat for a collage. Have guests sign the mat & take one group pic for the big mat or lots for the collage. Disposable cameras scattered around the room would be fun for candid shots. Have a corner of the room decorated so people can take some prom-like pictures. It's cheaper if you have guests lend you a hand in buying/prepping the food. Budget conscious ideas for food: Baked potato bar Pizza bar - Guests can make their own pizzas. Either get dough & sauce at a local pizza place, or get frozen pizzas & add extra toppings before baking. Or, use bagels, English muffins, flatbread, pitas for crust - lots of possibilities - use your imagination! Taco bar Ice cream Sundae bar - we have done this a lot, because we ask our daughter if she would rather have cake or a sundae bar, & she ALWAYS picks the sundae bar!! Don't forget bananas for splits or brownies for hot fudge cake!! Hawaiian haystacks - http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1739,146180-246192,00.html Rsvp party goers & have them bring ingredients for any of these ideas. Have someone burn some cds - have a dance & then give the cds to the one with the birthday as a memento.

Request: Friend's 17th Birthday Party Post by Laurel_admin (53) | (12/03/2007) Contact My friend's 17th birthday is Feb. 9th. I have no clue what do do for her. We are having a party at her house and her boyfriend will be taking her out for the day. We were thinking about taking a limo to the falls then out to eat but we didn't want to spend too much money because we also wanted to get her a cute gift. Please help! it will be much appreciated! Jessicalynn Answers: RE: Friends 17th Birthday Party How about getting her 17 little presents and giving them at intervals throughout the day. Or a book with 17 pages, one for each year of her life, with comments from friends and family. Or a "17" lucky dip. (a barrel with 17 gifts for her to pull out one by one.) A "17" time capsule would be fabulous....with all of your thoughts from the day of her birthday, For my 17th Birthday (a number of years ago!) my friends all made me something themselves from picture frames and collage, to embroidered cushions, and a quirky mobile made from jelly babies! It was brilliant! (01/12/2005) By Julie UK
