Make it a "bring your own booz" party because that can get expensive. Also, just ask everyone attending to bring a light snack dish. Go get a few bags of ice, large trash bags, and some coke.

As far as I know it is just a small party. May 10 to 15 people. And it is just a gathering of friends. My boyfriend just recently moved away and thought it would be a good time to get all of his friends together and wish him luck. So I guess it is like a going away party.

At 27, they should be either a nice enough to BYOB or pot luck it and you guys supply the drinks. It also depends on how much $$$$ you want to spend on it for how elaborate

Not everybody may be 27. And even at 27, some people act 35 and some act 15.

I would have some drinks available your five white liquors are always good , lots of ice , fingerfoods , ask people to bring stuff specifically , chips , cheese dip , provide plates napkins forks , trash bags ect .. if you are going to have people smoke outside ( always a good idea) make sure you have sand cans for cig butts..

OK, here is the theme song for the party!

Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party

Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tom cat
They were talking about hockey
The cat was talking back
Long about then every-thing went black
Wasn't that a party

I'm sure it's just my memory
Playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
Cutting down my neighbour's tree

Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party

Billy, Joe and Tommy
Well they went a little far
They were sittin' in my back yard, blowing on a sireen
From somebody's police car

So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
Was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us in to see you
In an alcoholic haze
I sure can use those thirty days
To re-cover from the party

Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party
