What do you like? What is your passion? Make the party about you, because it is your birthday!
Do you like music? Search Google for music-theme parties. Get your favorite music playing and make your living room into a "night club" atmosphere. Have someone serving mixed "drinks" (no alcohol of course) served up in fancy glasses. Play a few games like statue where you freeze in a statue pose when the music stops. Or put on a music video and dance along. If you have Dance Dance the video game do that.
Do you like animals? Call up the local shelter and ask if you can meet there with your friends and volunteer for an hour, then go to an ice cream place afterwards and talk about your experiences there.
Do you like shopping? Plan a trip to a local thrift store. Instead of a gift for you, tell each person to bring $10 or $15 if they can and they have 1/2 hour to shop and put together a fab outfit. Then go home and have a fashion show, award prizes for cutest, funniest, most for the money, most colorful etc. outfits and eat cake and ice cream.
Do you like sports? Plan your party for a local park, bring balls for playing soccer, dodgeball, badmitton if you have one of those sets, etc. Everybody have a picnic after. If it rains, have it at your house and play finger soccer on a table instead, buy one of those inexpensive indoor basket ball hoops and have an inside game or bat balloons around. Or you could have an obstacle course inside your house like crawling under a table, jumping from cushion to cushion on the floor, etc.
There is nothing like music and food, though, to make for a good party. Do not underestimate everyone just coming to your place and hanging out, chatting, listening to music and eating and drinking some delicious fare that you love!
Invite people that you enjoy spending time with anyway, and you will have a good time. Remember to keep it drama-free and serve birthday cake so everyone knows it is a birthday party!
