Im 16 turning 17 on April 10th. I want to have a amazing party with me and a couple friends. It cant really be a party party because i dont have the money. I have only like 90 to spend to do whatever i want. I also have a big room, aka the whole basement and i can do alot.
I was thinking some things like..
birthday sleepover with a theme
laser web
nails and hair
dinner
glow sticks
flash light tag
karaoke
movie night
baking
60s-70s-80s-90s partys
truth or dare
lots and lots of music
balloons
snacks
candy
board games
picnic at the park
blindfolded trust games
lots of decoration
crafts
tents
And alot of stuff like that. but i dont really kno what else. i want to have alot of fun. i missed my sweet 16 cuz i didnt have any money and i dont want money to take over this birthday as well. so i need maybe a actual theme and what to do with decorations. maybe some more games. maybe what i should have for food. maybe questions to ask for truth or dare. anything will help.
Any suggestions?

Graffiti Party:
Guests show up in plain white t-shirts and everyone is given a marker. Partygoers spend the night doodling and writing messages on each other's shirts.
Graffiti Wall - Set up a graffiti wall on which your guests can write messages to the guest of honor, draw pictures, or sign their names. Just tape white or colored poster board or a sheet of craft paper to a wall, or set it on a table. Have color pencils, markers, and/or stickers available.
Face/Body Painting - buys some Halloween face paints or some color marker pens and makes body tattoo design. (Not a real tattoo!!!)
Party Food:
Pizza - Pizza is always a good choice for a party.
Finger Food/Appetizers
Chips & Dip - Chips and dip are a quick and convenient snack to set out on the tableâa perfect food for your guests to nosh on while they wait for the main course!
Colorful Drinks - For a fun beverage, freeze grape juice or a colorful Kool-Aid in ice cube trays. At the party, serve glasses of ginger ale or a clear, lemon-lime soda, and let your guests drop in some of the colored ice cubes. This will delight in the way that their drinks magically change color!
DJ - Hire a DJ and set up a good stereo system or get a friend who does this kind of stuff (post a message looking for a DJ on the school bulletin board). **or** DO IT YOURSELF, records all the songs and labels it and set up a good stereo system set (donât have one BORROW one!!!!)
Games and Activities - Best dancer, Best tattoo, Best looker, etc, glow stick limbo contest, play flashlight tag with glow sticks, and have beach ball to throw around the dance floor.

Why can't Americans legally drink at 18?
Q. Why, if you're otherwise considered an adult at 18, do you have to ask your mommy and daddy (and by proxy, your supposedly libertine government) if you can legally have a glass of wine with dinner before you spill your blood on the sands of Iraq?
Answer
There generally wasn't a drinking age until Prohibition was enacted in 1919. After repeal in 1933, prohibitionists held enough sway that many states and counties set minimum drinking ages, often at 21. The drinking age was lowered along with the voting age in the 70s under the assumption that 18 year olds were mature enough to have all adult rights and responsibilities. In the 80s, the "war on drugs" made people question alcohol and tobacco more seriously, and a few dumb drunk drivers led to the formation of MADD, which lobbied for a higher drinking age.
The federal government has no authority to dictate a drinking age, so they passed an Act in 1984 that set the "recommended" age at 21, and set provisions to cut highway funding to all states that didn't comply. Over time, the argument has morphed from the matter of drunk driving to the matter of "maturity" which is completely irrelevent here - 18 year olds can partake in much more dangerous activities than drinking alcohol. Today, the law has led to a sort of witch hunt - people are so concerned about "minors" getting alcohol in my area that law enforcement and the media in my area frequently hire 20 year olds to attempt to purchase alcohol repeatedly until some unlucky clerk allows the sale and is subsequently crucified for it.
Today, people are polarized into two camps. Some (myself included) have lost all respect for the drinking age, and take matters into their own hands. I stopped saying no to a beer at a party when I was 18, and I truthfully cannot name more than 5 people who have never had a drink underage. It was common during highschool, and literally universal during college. We call for drinking age reform because the current drinking age simply does NOT work, and there is no need for a law that "everybody breaks."
The other camp generally refuses to believe that an 18 year old can possibly be mature enough for a beer under any circumstances. Many would argue that the age of majority/drinking age discrepancy should be resolved by raising the age of majority rather than the drinking age. It is not unusual to hear from this group that people are "kids" until their mid-20s, alcohol should be illegal altogether, and the minimum age for marriage and sexual consent should be 30.
