Question by : Is it lame to have a sweet 16 luau party, in your backyard, without a pool?
I am looking for a cheaper alternative for throwing a big party. I want it to be fun &memorable but at the same time I don’t want to bankrupt my parents in the process:) My party would probably be the beginning of September so, the weather could be rainy, and I would like there to be about 60 people.
I was thinking it could be an inside/outside party with lots of food and games. I do not have a pool, which kind of makes me think a luau party without a pool isn’t a good idea.
The activities would be including: xbox, dancing, eating, volleyball, limbo, trampoline, movies playing inside &more.
I would greet every guest at the door with leis, to make sure everyone knows how much I appreciate them coming to my party.
I would have a ton of decorations around the yard and in my house including:
personalized banner
lanterns/tiki torches
inflatable palm trees
flowers
beach balls
candles
streamers
pineapple centerpieces
balloons
etc.
For food, I would have a hollowed out watermelon to hold fruit salad, mock-cocktails, Hawaiian pizza, &the usual chips, candy, etc. I would put the food in sand buckets, instead of just bowls.
Some other ideas I was considering is a photo backdrop so I can have a lot of memories from this party and possibly hire a DJ, a local band, or just stick to a play list I make. Both of those might not be possible, but they are in the air.
My whole party theme and location is still undecided at the moment and I really don’t want it to be a lame party, so any ideas and your honest opinion would be greatly appreciated:) I want everything to be perfect on my special day.

i think it sounds fun 
but about the luau thing, don’t worry about the pool. it’ll be fun no matter what. you could always get like a bunch of slip-n-slides or kiddie pools to mess around in.
