Sweet Sixteen Party Ideas?

My sweet sixteen is in January and I'm gonna invite twenty or so people. I'm not big on dressing up and all that. I wanted to have a bonfire party thing, but it'll be winter so it might not work. I'm really on a low budget since I'll be paying for it myself. Any ideas will help!

Twenty people is a lot, especially on a sixteen-year-old's budget! Could you ask your friends to share expenses , a Dutch treat where they pay their own way? If you choose an activity like paint-balling (only a suggestion!) and are bringing a party of about 20, you should get a substantial discount. Similarly with food - a nice café expecting 20 people for a birthday should be able to give you a good deal. If you each pay your own expenses the outlay should be minimal.

Look up your local telephone directory for party activities which might suit. Ask your friends for suggestions. Try a session learning a new skill, or several different ones. If you have a local community gym or activity centre, they might have something of interest.
Having a bonfire and roasting chestnuts and potatoes sounds like a great idea, but it might need more activity built in.
I admire your spirit, and hope you have a great sixteenth!

Think what your friends like best - music and dancing? doing each others makeup? Film and popcorn/pizza? We recently had a cupcake party where everyone could unleash their creative talents with icing on plain cakes and those who weren't creative just ate them. Think of unusual games to play like getting a poster of your favourite heartthrob and see who can get nearest to kissing him/her on the lips while blindfolded or seeing who can eat the most maltesers/whoppers with a knife and fork in 30 seconds.

Finish off the party with a lucky dip of small gifts wrapped in newsprint.
I am in the UK and we have a childrens party game called pass the parcel - I have found this also for some reason goes down well with teenagers and even adults
Food? baked potatoes with a choice of butter, cheese, tuna and salad usually go down well, especially in the winter and shouldn't cost too much

I turned 16 3 days ago and I decided to have a low budget party with 12 people in the park. I brought them a soccer ball, Frisby and a wobble bubble to play with. For the food we will eat costco pizza cupcakes and Cinimun roles. So that is what I am doing. Since itis winter and I can't go to the beach
