It's my sister's 18th today and she's planned a big party, fancy dress and karaoke... sadly she gave out the invitations at the beginning of the year which has resulted in a hall big enough for 150 guests, �200 for a D.J. her fancy dress costume, her second costume for the night - which she had specially made (�400) All reduced to a few family members and friends... possibly 30 at the most.

So, my point is... don't spend too much!!

my costume is to die for!! - no, seriously, I'd rather die than wear it!! :o\

[missjef]

wow thats a lot of money for that then to happen :-(

what is your costume? and what is your sisters?

[Lore]

sorry, didn't even offer any ideas!

The only things I can think of

House party, you provide the food, they bring their tipple
what about a picnic? everyone could bring a plate of food and then all the adults could go out later on.
or just start off with a meal somewhere - maybe a tapas bar.

my sister has a 70's style cat suit and a big red wig, then her dress for half way through ( i'm stil not getting this idea btw, I thought you only got changed during a wedding) is almost like a ball gown, bright pink with long pink gloves!

Mine... ahem, well, I'm 7 mths pregnant, so anything figure hugging is out! I was going to go as a nun but it wouldn't go down well, most of my mum's side are very religious and a heavily pregnant nun would just be frowned upon!

So I went for a big baby costume - it's pink! I don't do pink!!

What about having a fun day out to start with, like go kart racing or paint balling and then a little food and then hit all the clubs in town! Not really much planning to there and you can make a whole day out of it!

[lastchance]

go to a theme park for the day or go to the seaside

Our local leisure centre offers pool parties for adults, with loads of inflatables etc, and they offer this free so long as you let them cater for the party afterwards in their function room. Get your own DJ and no tidying up for you afterwards. The pool is privately hired by you and your party and you get about 2 hours in the water.
