1. Streamers from trees
It's important you give people an idea of what they're in for.
2. Pillow fights
Pillow fights don't belong in the bedroom, where no one can fawn over the victor!

How else are you gonna class up the joint?

Crowdsource your guests! By the end of the night, you'll have awesome shots from so many perspectives.

Only one team will win and reap the rewards you have chosen beforehand!
6. A tattoo station
They're like party favors you can take in the shower!
7. A dunking booth
It's so much easier than renting a pool.
8. Cotton candy
For the ultimate carnival experience!
9. An area for a water balloon fight
It's like tag, but with rubber!

If no one knows the rules, just pose with the sticks.
11. Tire swings
A great way to bond is by sitting on something that used to be attached to an automobile.

A little competition never hurt anyone!
14. A piñata
So festive!

For when you enter the "touchy feely" portion of the evening.

Art students need to make money so they can buy those really expensive and special pencils, you know!
17. Something that glows in the dark
Just because the sun has somewhere else to be doesn't mean your guests do!
18. Sparklers
Use responsibly.
19. Lanterns
These are typically used to make wishes, and so by the end of your awesome party, it's only fair you give your guests a chance to wish you could quit your job and just throw garden parties.
