I think you should have a party with games, barbecue and dancing. You pick the time and you can tell them when it is over.

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I am turning 17 in 4 days, and I am just going to invite a few people over to watch movies and eat junk food! Nothing big, because I have huge plans for my 18th! And i think the rest of you should remember that this is not the big one, next year is! :D Peace! (01/21/2008)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

Well you could rent a public pool for an hour, its not that expensive. You could defer your b-day until summer and take your friends to the beach (thats what we do with my daughter). She will be turning 15, her b-day is in May but we wait until the summer. Her friends stay overnight and we spend the whole day at the beach the next day (she loves this and we have done it for 3 years!) (01/22/2008)

Why not try a high tea with silver tea sets, scones and small sandwiches. Mozart or a harpist as music, and everyone can wear gorgeous dresses, hats and gloves. After that go to a dance club or pool. (01/22/2008)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I was thinking of renting a club on Saturday and just have everyone come and enjoy. I want to have a VIP room for the closest friends to have a party in. Even if its a club where it doesn't suit your age, if your renting it they should let you have access to it except for alcoholic beverages. (03/04/2008)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

Well my birthday is on the 7 of April and I have hired kareoke machine, party lights, tables, chairs, gazebos. I've gone all out and its only costing 500 bucks including food and decorations. (03/24/2008)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I'm actually doing my birthday in the ice-skating place! I think it should be a lot of fun, I actually got the room that has just a glass around it, and you can see everyone on the ice arena, so we can laugh at each other :P. (04/01/2008)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I'm turning 17 on May 6th but we are in school that day and it's on a Tuesday the day before (May 5th) is a bank holiday! I'm thinking on having a Hollywood theme or a black and white themed party, a really big party in my house. Then me and my friends afterwards are going out camping. I can't wait. I'm already planning. (04/15/2008)

I'll be turning 17 this November, and I'm looking for ideas on a party. I'd like to have a big one, since I haven't had a birthday party in years. I'm thinking about renting out a hall and having a semi-formal/casual party. I want a DJ. And I'm in need of a theme. I don't want anything like Casino Night. I want something extremely original, but really fun. I want to have things that the guests will enjoy, too, maybe like a cotton candy machine or something like that. Any ideas? They're greatly appreciated. Brittany from Pennsylvania

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I am about to have my 17th birthday party on the 25 of July and was stuck on an idea. I did some thinking and decided to have a dessert party. I am planing to have a sundae bar. I also love to bake so I am going to have a blank cake with fondant over it and let my friends decorate it. I got this idea from a friend so i know it will be great. It is not that hard, you can just buy fondant and roll it out. I am also going to have a chocolate fountain, and I am finding great new way to serve sweets. You can Google for ideas or go to the foodnetwork.com. My party is also going to be a sleepover so moves are a must. (07/17/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

Well last year I turned 16 so for my b-day I had 6 friends over to spend the night and we broke glow sticks and slung them all over an empty room and each other. It was so cool it was like a big canvas. After that we took a walk down my street. Then we went to bed and the next day (my b-day) we all got up and went out to eat and my mom paid for all of us. And then she surprised me with a hotel so we spent the day swimming and giving each other pedicures. Later we went on a limo ride. It was very fun. (08/31/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I would set up poker tables and have a pool table or/and a ping pong table. Even maybe get those sumo suits and have those in your backyard! Definitely have food and everyone can just hang out! (09/16/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I turn 17 in a few days and I'm just having a few close mates and my brothers (and their gfs) over and having a BBQ. I'm going to have a pinata and play pass the parcel and all those sorts of games. Maybe hiring a jumping castle?! haha! (11/11/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

My parents always have parties and we have a big white tent and for my sweet 16, I put the tent up had a bon fire and music, lights, and glow sticks. We all ended getting in a silly string fight. At like 12, we all went inside and watched a scary movie! It ended at like 1:00. I cant wait for my 17th. I wanna have a classy white and black party. (11/18/2007)

I am turning 17 on 2nd May. I have thought about doing go-carting or white water rafting but I can not do anything too expensive as I am saving for a car. Some people suggest going for a meal but lots of my friends do that and I want to do something a bit different. Please help me with any ideas, I will be very grateful.

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I'd have to go with the virgin drinks and the movie idea. My sons graduation party was like this we made a bar and my hubby was the bar tender and we used the plastic novelty cups i found at thrift stores and it was an all nighter. We chose pizza and finger foods so people could come and go and it was great they all bragged about it. The most important thing is to have fun! (04/20/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I just rented a hotel suite for my daughters sweet 16 birthday bash. She can invite up to 20 guest for a fun filled day of swimming at the pool and access to the game room. Pizza delivery at 6:00 and sleeping bags for an overnight stay. A suite here cost around $100.00. (of course we have to pay for the pizza) (04/22/2007)

How about a bowling or miniature golf party? (05/07/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

Last year for my sweet sixteen, I had a glow party. Everyone had glow in the dark things on them as well as all the decorations. It was a lot of fun, especially when it came to the glow sticks and glow bouncy balls in the pool at night. Great Virgin drinks were a hit too. Dress them up with garnish and nice plastic glasses for a nice touch. (06/02/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

February 18th is also the Chinese New Year - so you could use that as a theme. (my birthday is also the 18th - but I will be 40! (wow!) - and we are having chinese food and homemade fortune cookies. Each person gets to write some fortunes to put in the cookies - we are making the cookies and mixing up all the fortunes and seeing who gets what. (02/03/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

My daughter had a volleyball party for her 16th birthday. We rented a gym for just $35 and had a great time. Everybody really loved it. We brought the cake and asked everyone else to bring a finger food. It was great. (02/03/2007)

By Robin

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

One of our favorite parties (this is good for anytime) is an all night movie marathon. We, the parents, agree to stay up all night, so it can be girls and boys. We have done it where one parent sleeps at a time. We bring out the food a little at a time. That way there's stuff left for the last movie.

For an all nighter you need 4 movies, count time in between for bathroom breaks, to talk about the movie, and for people who can't stay to leave. (That's nice because some just can't stay all night, but it's nice to have them there for a while)

I have two boys, so our movie nights have been Jackie Chan or car chase movies. Now my daughter is old enough to have one she wants the three Cinderella movies. Her friends can't make it through a whole night yet. We even had one night that the movies turned out to be really bad so they dug into our old movies and ended up watching Karate Kid 1&2. They loved it. It really is a lot of fun. (02/03/2007)

When you're 17 you're old enough to act young again! My friend who had the best parties did lots of fun games generally found at kids parties and we always had a great time! (02/04/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

I went to the greatest sleep over when I was 16. We did the regular sleepover stuff.. movies, games, PLUS my best friends mom made us VIRGIN daiquiris and margaritas along with chocolate dipped strawberries. These were virgin non-alcholic drinks of course, but they still made us feel very sophisticated and grown up. Good luck (02/04/2007)

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

My 17th birthday is on Feb 12th, I don't think I'm going to do anything big this year except party for several nights with my different groups of friends - but last year for my 16 I had a whole semi formal party at my house everyone dressed up and we made all these fancy drinks and had soo much food to eat - everyone loved it and people still talk about it a year later!

RE: Ideas For My 17th Birthday

When I was younger (18 or so) the funnest party I ever had was super cheap to do and a real blast. I found a Murder Mystery Party game at a thrift store, we all dressed up and got into character. You can do food and everything, I love those games. They have lots of themes and i know for a fact you can find one on ebay for just a couple of dollars. Maybe check amazon too. Check it out I think you may be impressed, and you can get all the decorations at a thrift store or dollar store. We just did it in the living room, (small room) so you don't need a lot of space, and we had pizza too the whole think prob. only cost about $ 20.00 They vary in size about 6 to 8 to 12 people depending on the game. I really hope this helps you. (03/02/2007)

I have the same problem too I turn 17 on May 17th though. I don't what to do. I was thinking of a birthday party but we really don't have money for it. I didn't have a quinciniera or a sweet sixteen, so I kind of wanted to have some of my close friends. I'm thinking about maybe horse back riding but I'm really not sure. (04/10/2007)

Food and Music

GREAT MUSIC and plenty of GREAT FOOD! That is what I would build your party around. If you are inviting boys and girls and the weather is right in your area, and you have an appropriate place to do it, a bonfire might be fun. Don't sweat it - your friends will have fun just being around to help you celebrate! Just have some good music ready and maybe ask your friends to bring some of their favorite CDs. I would include tons of great "finger food" - nothing that requires a fork to eat! You could also do cupcakes instead of a regular birthday cake. Just relax and enjoy your Sweet Seventeen!

Sundae Party

My daughter just celebrated her birthday with a "Create your own ice cream sundae" party. We bought two gallons of vanilla ice cream, lots of different toppings, and the girls had fun. You don't have to buy the toppings -- there are plenty of recipes on the net, but we ran out of prep time. They played favorite music and a couple of board games. And of course had birthday cake. I hope you have a good birthday! (02/02/2005)

Theme Party

You might want to check out the party planner template in MS Word on your computer. I say have a luau or a fun theme, whatever you and your friends are into. Like casino night, Goth or Ski party... Have fun! Check out Oriental Traders for props or novelties. (02/17/2005)

"Live Like Your a Rockstar"

For my 16th birthday I had a "Live Like Your a Rockstar" party. Have each of your guests dress as rock stars and bring a CD or DVD of their favorite artist. Then just put the CDs on shuffle and get started. We actually hooked up a mike so we could embarrass ourselves further by singing as the star we were dressed as. We had a blast though and everyone I invited the next year came and their friends asked if they could come too. Good luck and Happy Birthday! (02/23/2005)

Dinner, Clubbing and a Sleepover

You can have your 4 best friends come over and go out to eat, then go out to the club or some fun facility. Then spend the night at your house and watch movies and eat popcorn. (03/24/2005)

Tent Party

If you have a big back yard, then you can get all your best buds round and get the old camping tents out and have your very own tent party! Fun even when it's your big 17th! (12/06/2005)

By Nikki

Musical Chairs

I really enjoy getting all my mates round and playing pass the parcel and musical chairs. I did this for my 17th and was thinking about doing this for my 18th but didn't get round to doing it! I really recommend it! Have fun! (12/06/2005)
