Party Help, Please!?

I need help with a few things for my party. Here is the info on the party. It will begin in the late afternoon/early evening and continue into the night. There will be about 30 people at the party--it's a co-ed 13th birthday party. There will be mostly girls, though. The theme is a color theme, which is lime, magenta, and orange.There will be music/dancing as well as a pool and jacuzzi. These are the things I need help with :





--how early should I send out the invitations, and should I include a response card or a RSVP number?


--what time should the party start and end?


--what should I give people to take home (party favors)? Don't say that we're too old for those. I was thinking something more classy-looking, such as a candle and a small box of candy along with a burnt CD, or something of the sort. Still looking for ideas


--music--should I make a music mix before hand or tell people to bring CDs?





Please answer as many of these as you can!


Thanks, please email me more ideas if you can!

Party Help, Please!?
--how early should I send out the invitations, and should I include a response card or a RSVP number? AT LEAST 1 MONTH BEFORE AND DO AN RSVP NUMBER.





--what time should the party start and end? PARTY SHOULD START AT 4 AND END AT 11





--what should I give people to take home (party favors)? Don't say that we're too old for those. I was thinking something more classy-looking, such as a candle and a small box of candy along with a burnt CD, or something of the sort. Still looking for ideas MAKE A SPECIAL CD MIX OF SONGS FOR THE PARTY AND MAKE A COPY OF THE CD FOR EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS THEN YOU COULD PUT A REALLY GREAT PERSONAL LABEL ON IT FROM YOU TO THEM...








--music--should I make a music mix before hand or tell people to bring CDs? MUSIC MIX. IT GETS TOO CONFUSING TO HAVE EVERYONE BRINGING THEIR OWN CD'S AND YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR KEEPING TRACK OF THEM.





Good Luck and have fun!!
