you could just set up food tables and music and have a bonfire that's always fun, people are usually talking the whole time and hanging out.

have a picture scavenger hunt around town.

here's how:

divide people up into 2 groups. set 2 main drivers. (you need two adults who can drive) both teams go in the cars and you give them a list of things to find around town.

here are some examples, a rubber duck, a burger king crown, a cup singed by an employee, pump someone's gas, and so on. you don't have to buy the items, but take a picture with them. everyone on the team (except the driver) has to be in the picture except the one taking the picture. and the group has to stay together, and the driver can't help. you can set a time to be home at, and who ever has more done wins, or you can just have to finish the list and who ever makes it back to the house first wins. when you get back, hook up the camera to the t.v. or computer and look at all the pictures. it's so fun!

You should have a bowling alley party. It wont be expensive to put together and the clean up will be pretty simple too. You just need enough pizza for all your guests and soda to drown it down with. Start telling you guest the type of presents you want now so that they will have to buy them.
