Party Faliure?

I have a birthday coming up , and all my friends are encourging me to have a party. except that the last time i had a party my "bestfriend" overtook it as her own. also my parties never seem to come out how i want them , either the things we do at them or the people that i invite are all wrong. i was thinking about "Possibly" having a party again. anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome my party faliure streak with either a good way to make a good guest list or activities to do? all inputs are helpfull. thanks :-)

Party Faliure?
I know how you feel. I have had many failed parties. For many years, no matter what I did something would go wrong and ruin it. The first "no fight" party I had was a simple party. I just invited two friends that are both really good natured and I didn't overplan. Now, I'm not saying make no plans and only invite two people. I'm just saying to invite people you know won't cause problems and keep the party laid back.





If this peson is really your best friend, I understand that you probably will invite them. Just talk with them before hand to let them know how you feel. They probably don't even realize they were taking over.





Oh and fun activites are truth or dare, prank calls, dance dance or karaoke revolution (if you have them), make a dessert, taking stupid pictures, watching movies, going to the mall (if you're inviting a small number of people), ect.
Reply:How about having a party at a hotel or something instead of your home.

ummm, you could go to a movie and just throw popcorn in her hair so when she leaves she looks like an idiot. Go to McDonald's Play Place.
