Question

Im throwing my first non b-day party and I need to know what to get? Its for boys and girls in my basement and i dont know what i need!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

just make your party a buffet party where everyone serves themselves.

the basic things to get for a party are the ff:
paper plates, paper cups, paper napkins, plastic table cloth, plastic utensils (forks and some spoons and knives).... depending on your theme you can color coordinate all the above.

liter size drinks (diet and regular), ice and cooler to put ice.
each one can get the ice from the cooler and pour their own drinks.

couple of large trash containers with trash lining place in separate places to put all the trash while eating.

lay out one table by a wall with a table cloth for the food lined up, and another smaller table near enough but not too near to block the buffet table, for the drinks, cups, utensils, paper plates and napkins. on the floor beside the drinks, put the cooler with ice.

food:
1. the seven layer mexican dip with tostitos.
2. finger sandwiches (turkey, beef, ham, tuna, etc.)
3. hotdogs, in separate containers put mustard, mayo, chopped
onions, chili and let everyone make their own sandwiches.
4. vegetable dip (for those watching their calories)
5. buy a few digorno pizza (square) and cut them into small squares about 1 to 2 inches.
6. if you want a desert just get a regular cake and slice it in cubes arranged on a platter.
these are a lot of food so you can pick and choose

to decorate your basement, get some white xmas lights and line them around the ceiling of your basement. anything in your basement can be decorated with little light. also, you can buy paper streamers and decorate your basement. your girlfriends i am sure will be happy to help you fill up your basement and make it look really cool.

don't forget, you need music. so get music equipment and cds ready! when your friends come in, you can already have music playing in the background. ask your friends to bring their favorite cds too.

lastly, have enough chairs lined up by the walls of the basement. no need of tables for eating unless you want to put a couple of them. most of the time, they can sit down and eat or just walk around and nibble on the food as they socialize.

this is all i can think of. my daughter and her friends used to have parties in the carport of our home and i used to make the list and shop with her to buy the things they needed.

the night before we would make the sandwiches and put them back in the break plastic, sealed it and put them back in the fridge to keep fresh.

we would get plastic trays and cover it with alluminum foil to put the sandwiches, hotdogs, pizza bits, etc. on.

you can put the utensils in tumblers and the napkins in a small plastic container or small basket you may find at home.

have a nice party, y'll!

Well, first off you are going to need snacks. depending on the size of party you are throwing, you may need a lot of snacks. best way to determine this amount is take what you yourself can and might eat, and multiply it by the number of people that may be attending. cups, napkins, drinks, music. and a large enough place to fit all these people. hope this answers your question. have a great party.

Answer 4

Perhpas you should consider a "theme" for the party. It will help you with decorations, games, prizes and food to serve. It's difficult to suggest what you will need with such few details. Will you be serving food? Will there be games? Decorations? Decide the details and repost the question.
