I’m so excited! My mom said I could decorate my room in a new way, and I decided on a movie theater theme!
I have a Mac computer so I can play movies on there. I was thinking of painting my walls dark red with maybe silver and gold stripe or polka dots. I would get one of those candy cabinets that are see-though and put a bunch of different candy bars and use that as my desk. My computer would be on top of that.
I wanted to print up a bunch of movie posters from old-fashioned movies and the actors in them in black and white around my room. I was thinking of maybe getting a frame that has a border like a roll of film or movie tickets and putting the pictures and posters in there. I also found this, which I found really cool: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30065679
My mom said that while she was at Ikea while I was at school (can’t find this on the website) that there was this huge picture of the Eiffel Tower with a glass frame and little lights around it like in the dressing rooms in movies.
I have a mini popcorn machine I could put in my room and I might get a mini Icee machine and Target or something, too.
Any designing tips or furniture suggestions? Thanks!
I forgot to mention, I’ve gotten some heavy, red velvet curtains I’m putting around my window.

the party is for our 8th grade graduation(nostalgia purposes, good movie, etc.)

so far im thinking of serving n&ms, jellybeans, popcorn, strawberries, maybe chex mix, and maybe buying a pizza and cutting it up into little pieces (i told people to eat dinner before, but they know snacks will be served)

any other ideas for food, or just general party ideas?

So, I’m turning 16 next year! Yeah, I said next year, but these things take a long time to plan.
My birthday is in the middle of summer, and all I’ve ever done is have a river/backyard/luau themed party. I want something different.
Since I already have my car and am not getting one for my Sweet 16, hopefully I can go a little higher in the budget.
I am not spoiled, other than the fact that my "Grandpa" owns a limo company, so I can get a limo occasionally.

Here are the ideas I’ve been thinking of recently:
1) Highlighter party- everybody wears white, there are black-lights and glowing things everywhere, and we just go highlighter crazy and colour each other. If I choose this theme, the party will most likely be held in some sort of club (I live in West Virginia, so venues are kind of hard to come by). I’ll probably buy DJ Hero or get a DJ booth set up where everyone can take turns DJing.

2) Under The Sea theme- Lots of blue’s and green’s, a sequin dress (or two!). This theme is a little outdated, but since it’s the middle of summer, it makes sense.

3) Candyland theme- This theme was inspired by this cake (http://www.pinkcakebox.com/images/cake665.jpg) and the music video for "California Gurls"! Very colourful, the invitation comes in the form of a candy necklace that you can’t get in without, etc. (Sorry, my brain is kind of fried right now!)

4) Carnival/fair theme- (I know it’s not the same thing, blahblahblah ;P) The fair usually comes around that time of year, so I was thinking since Grandpa knows basically everyone in town, he could hook me up and maybe have it like shut down or something for the day. I’ve never been on a ferris wheel before, so that would be really cool (: If not, just a backyard party. Game booths, popcorn machine, prizes, cotton candy machine, and just the usual fair stuff.

I also would like to have a performer. I was thinking someone like Justin Bieber, VersaEmerge, NeverShoutNever, or Katy Perry. I’m not sure if this can happen because of cost, but if it can, who would you like to see if you could go?

Thanks in advance
@Summer: I understand where you’re coming from with the performer thing. I have people I know who are in bands, but I’m not sure they’re the type of music I’d want played at my party, even though that’s the type of music I generally listen to.

I was actually thinking of a Disney Princess theme (Not sure which one), but since my skin is darker, people think I can’t pull it off. *EYE ROLL*

Actually, now I was thinking that I would get some people together and do a hip-hop dance, and have a dance party. Dance parties are like really common these days though.

UGH, I don’t know! D:
