For my friends 16th birthday, all my crew got together and did a surprise birthday for her. Since all of us were low on money at the time, we decided to split costs and not do something that elaborate. So we decided that we would go to a movie. What I did was tell the Birthday Girl that just me and her would go see a movie for her birthday. (I did this, a week before her birthday, so she doesn't expect the surprise!) I told her to come to my house about 2 hours before the movie so we could hang out and have some food, etc. I told the people invited to come 3 hours before the movie, so we could set up and be ready to surprise her. Everything worked out according to plan. The Birthday Girl was so surprised! After we had a slight party at my house, everyone went to the movie theater. This is a simple party, but the Birthday Girl or Guy will like it, trust me. Plus if you have a budget, it is cool to have everyone bring something and then everyone pays for their movie ticket themselves. I hope you have fun, like we did!!
