Try getting masks like they wear, beads, and bright colors.\n\nMardi Gras is one big celebration of color and happiness, keep that in mind.

There are some cool games that you can play for the party, like a murder mystery party, or you could go for a theme like a Hawaiian theme and have a luau. Or get a hotel room for you girls, go swimming, rent a limo! Have fun!

My idea for you is to have a nightclub themed party. You can name your nightclub "birthday" or "17". Send out invitation as if they were to visit the exclusive V.I.P room of this new club, but make sure people know it's for your birthday party. Decorate by exchanging your normal lights for blacklights, colored light bulbs, and soft lighting. Have each room or section of your house as a different section of the club. The techno room, the video games room, the hip-hop room, the hang-out room. \n\nSince I'm assuming you aren't going to drink, make some mocktails. A good site for recipes is http://www.healthunit.on.ca/mocktails/recipes.html. Pick about 5-10 of your favorites and make a menu to sit at your "bar". Have someone mixing drinks (an older sibling, a friend). Serve the drinks in cocktail glasses, tumblers and martini glasses. \n\nThe best place to get invitations are these sites http://www.birthdayinvitation.org/ http://www.classiccommunication.com/\nhttp://www.cardsshoppe.com/\nOR you can do your own invitation online at evite.com and e-mail it to everyone. That's what I would recommend. \n\nI think you sould serve pizza or something easy and fast. You can even go out a buy a bunch of frozen foods at your local warehouse store and cook them all up before the party. Don't pay for delivery, go out and buy frozen pizzas, or for even more fun, get all cheese frozen pizzas and have people garnish their own slices. Have peperoni, diced chicken, sausage, peppers, tomatoes, bacon ,and other things that you like on pizza. Make sure you have a cake, and have it iced bright white so it stands out under the lights. \n\nThe last thing you need is yourself. Don't let the party planning stress you out too much and just have a good time. It's all about you so make it really personalized. And have fun! You deserve it.

Okay I got a few:\nI saw one once that was more of a "bridal shower", but it was like a little girl's tea party. There was big over sized hats, gloves, feather boas, beautiful teapots, gourmet snacks. It was very cute, yet very classy.\nOr try having a "Sex and the City" night. Have everyone dress up, serve creative martini's and play sexy jazzy music. You could even play "Sex and the City" in the background.\nOr in lieu of strippers, you could have one of those "passion parties". Often they have party goers model some of the lingerie, which is a laugh riot! \nOr have a "prom night" where all the girls wear formals. Either serious pretty ones, or outrageous and crazy ones. As a favor, you could give each attendant a corsage and then rent a limo to go out on the town. You could have dinner at a nice restaurant, then go out dancing. The theme though is what makes it fun, because you're sure to be the center of attention wherever you go.\nOr (this one sounds complicated, but it's really fun) you could rent a limo and have everyone bring their digital camera's, then have a sexy scavenger hunt. Provide everyone with a list, then have the limo drop you off at a big gathering spot. (A place that has several restaurants, bars and shops. Like a main street.) Have everyone split into groups and run around taking pictures of different things like the man with the sexiest abs, the woman with the lowest cut top, sexiest shoes, someone kissing a stranger...you get the idea. Then have everyone meet at one restaurant for dinner at a pre-determined time, so you can compare your results over drinks and vote for the best pictures and most complete lists.\nGood luck, I hope one of these inspires you to do something creative!

A beach party is a fine idea.\nAre you getting your license?  Maybe you can get your parents to let you have a car scavenger hunt and you can have a car-themed party.  Guests can break into teams and search for items on a scavenger hunt list.  Give each hunt party a polaroid camera to catch their items on film.  You can also have a treasure hunt where you hide something (or bury it, if at the beach) and the team that finds it gets to keep the prize.  If your parents are giving you a car, suggest your friends bring you car items for presents:  a gas card, organizers for the backs of your seats, special floor mats, something to hang from your rearview mirror, seat covers, keychains, and a CD organizer.  Hit a relative up for a cellphone (like a Tracfone) and minutes, if you don't happen to have one.  Have a great birthday!

have everyone bring a gift and just put Lady or Gentlemen on the tag. have food of course as this is primary importance and liquid refreshment. if liqueur is served have cokes or non alcoholic drinks also as some may not want alcoholic drinks then have a picture cut in two pieces one half for a lady the other half for a gentlemen when the two haves are found these two would be partners for a scavenger hunt.

I had a birthday party at the racetrack in the clubhouse for my hubby's 50th.  They served a great lunch complete with cake and ice cream.  Everyone thought it was a novel idea, had fun betting on the races and didn't know that it was all free because I was a stockholder!  But, I decided I want a Bahama Mama party for mine in a gazillion years when I'm turning 50.  I want everyone to dress up in Hawaiian attire, serve tropical drinks, play Jimmy Buffet and other Island tunes and have a luau.\n\nI might also consider an evening in Paris with a little more formal attire, sexy French music, hors d'oeuvres, aperitifs, and build myself a little eifel towel trellis in the backyard all lit up with X-Mas tree lights.

the first thing you should do is organise wat day you're gonna have the party, so you should make sure that all the people ur inviting is free in that day. if some people are not free, well plan another day.. but i think it would be alright if one or two people isnt commin..... (enjoy ur party)

I think chose a theme and make it a theme party! I LOVE theme parties and it always makes the mood more fun / silly and sparks conversations and puts everyone at ease. I also ALWAYS make people dress up according to the theme, just cos I love dressing up :) theme options: Nautical (sailors etc), Circus, cowboys / cowgirls, dress up as something that starts with the first letter of your name (eg if your name is susan dress up as something starting with S) enjoy!!

For my daughter we had a pizza/karaoke/slumber party and everyone had a great time. It was the funnest party she ever had. You could also do a throwback party like a 50's sock hop complete with burgers and milkshakes and show the movie Grease, or a 70's hippie party or disco and have veryone come in costume, or an 80's rocker party.
