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.
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.
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
