How do I make my party epic without trying too hard?

I'm having a bonfire at the beach and I'm expecting around 20-30 people to show. We're all 14-17 and I want my bonfire to be epic and for people to talk about it after in a good way so how can I set it up to be that way? If you've ever had a verryyy successful high school bonfire/party, what did you do to set up?


Answer
Make sure people know what to bring. Don't put it all on you. Don't try too hard. Relax and let it happen. Let it be known you are having it and you are gonna have some of the stuff but people will need to bring what they want too. Like if they want a certain drink or food or a folding chair instead of a blanket or whatever. Have somewhere for people to drop off their stuff when the get there like a table for the food and have a few extra things for people that forget. You will need, music, a blow up beach ball or two, a Frisbee, chips, sodas, hotdogs, buns, marshmallows, plenty of pointy sticks, towels/blankets, folding chairs, plates, napkins. Stuff for a fire of course. A camera. Invite with texts, facebook, and word of mouth. When people over plan and get all neurotic about the details the parties are lame. Don't plan like activities and stuff. Just have a couple of things available to do if they want so they won't be bored. Boredom is as bad as planning. That beanbag toss game is always cool or that ladder ball thing. That is basically it...Just sit back and let it go...

Charity booth game ideas and items to sell for hawiian theme?




Nancy


my friends and I have a booth at relay for life and our theme is hawiian and tropical. what are some games, raffles or items we could sell to raise money for donations?


Answer
At my high school, we had a beach week that raised money for a scholarship, and it's one of our biggest events - so I've been here! We sold sausage balls, brownies, and general food items, but also sold Hawiian themed items like virgin margaritas and grilled pineapple. It's also fun to set up a Wii and a TV and charge a dollar per game of Just Dance - they have loads of summery, fun songs on the game! You can also have fun with decorations and use grass skirts as table skirts, and wear swimming trunks, Hawiian printed shirts, sandals, etc.

You could have a silent auction of beach-themed items like:
*A basket of beach/vacation necessities like sunscreen, a bathing suit, beach towels, beach reads, a sun hat, a beach chair, a beach ball, inflatables, a sand bucket, etc.
*Swimming trunks, bathing suits
*Surf boards, boogie boards
*Gas cards

Set up a stereo and play summer music, and have a mini dance party!
Have a pineapple-eating contest.

I wish you the best of luck!
