girls or boys? If its girls then mild alcohol, BBQ and chart music would work- also parents to make themselves scarce (dont want to embarrass them)
If boys then I dont know coz I'm not a boy!!

[Glenn7140]

its boys and girls

and as for the music they are mostly into rock and metal
also do you know any games to play ?

thanks again

i think that they might find games a little lame unless its something like spin the bottle or postmans knock. or if its warm enough a water fight would go down a treat.

[Glenn7140]

spin the bottle sounds good

but what is postmans knock =D

thanks again

postmans knock is where one person (postman) goes outside a room (everyone else is in the room) the postman shuts the door, closes their eyes and points towards the room. The door is then opened and the person that they are pointing to has to say how many 'letters' that the postman has brought them. If they say five then the postman has to give them five kisses (or handshakes depending on gender). goes down a treat with teenagers -- i remember....... (about 6-7 years ago!)

that sounds a good idea

ive just of though of one but ill cheak over with you first to see if this is a good idea or not

how about a girl v boy tickle fight or do you think thats a bit to extreme ?

thanks again

[joanne713]

hmm, dont know, maybe wait and see how it goes before suggesting that one. I think a pillow fight would be better, you might have a few self conscious teenagers there and it could get awkward. the other games can be played down you see, peck on the cheek etc if they are shy.

[Glenn7140]

ok well it was just an idea coz i know the girls are always tickling each other so thats why i though it would be a god idea

any other ideas

thanks

[joanne713]

yeah thats just a girl thing, with boys its completely different unless its flirting. Just make sure you have lots of munchies (crisps, ice cream, pizza, pepsi etc), maybe a few cans of lager - only enough for about 2 each, a few movies would go down well coz no doubt they wont go to sleep until at least 3am. I cant really help with the music thing, maybe raid a CD collection? Other than that, keep adults away (obviously check on them or watch from a distance). It will be fine but you will probably need a weekend to recover from it all!!! Good luck!

joanne713 what is with the alcohol? I would not allow my daughter near a party with alcohol at 16!
making pizza, lots of dvd's and the chance to really let their hair down without too much peer pressure.
if they have tents my niece had 6 friends round for her 15th birthday and they all slept in tents in the garden. they had a ball, and no tidying up either !!!

[Glenn7140]

Meltoadhall i understand what you are saying as my parents are the same but the peer pressure is crazy

most of my friends do drink and if you dont have alcohol it comes back on you and if seen people have to deal with it and it isn't nice so if did have some alcohol would it be better if i only let people have to cans each something like that

let me know what you think

thanks again

I hope to goodness you don't live anywhere near me.!

Music in the garden, echoing over all the fences until 3 a.m. is not going to make you very popular with the neighbours.

A well-loaded hosepipe for quieting things down sounds ideal to me.
