Setting Up a Stage for an Outdoor Birthday Party

I have a lot of friends in bands, and they never need a "stage," it's always under them wherever they play! The only thing I'd recommend is a good PA system and lots of heavy-duty extension cords. Oh, and make sure they stay dry, because otherwise it could be a very exciting birthday party! Oh, and make s'mores. Get lots of long sticks- you want *long* ones because the fire gets a lot hotter than you'd think. Also whenever I have a bonfire (almost every weekend, haha) try to find a bunch of "Pokin' Sticks." (old broomsticks, broken shovel handles, anything that's walking stick sized or longer) People inherently feel the need to poke fire. I can't explain it, but it will be a lot more entertaining than you'd expect.... Happy Birthday!
