Any ideas for my party? I don't really have a theme or anything?

Okay so I'm graduating 7 months early and my graduation day falls right about the time of my 17th birthday so I wanted to have a birthday/graduation party. I planned it for 3 weeks from now and sent an invite to 35 people. The party consists of teens (12 people-close friends) ages 16-19, adults (18 people -aunts, uncles, grandparents, and close friends) ages 35-70, and kids (5 people-cousins and sisters) ages 6-13. The party goes from 6 PM - 11 PM on a friday night, and after everyone goes home about 8 of my closest friends are staying the night. That's basically the plan. I don't really have a theme of a plan for the party so I wanted some ideas. I was thinking of putting up a big board where all my friends and family can write messages and stuff. I also wanted to put up pictures on a wall of me each year at age 1, age 2, age 3 and so on. My favorite color is green, so maybe a green color scheme as a theme - i don't know. I also like purple and blue. I like sushi and itallian food, but I don't know which to chose, maybe both. My ideas are really scattered and any input, idea or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The photo board is a neat idea. I don't think a specific color is necessary and not everyone likes sushi. If it was me I'd go with a bunch of different appetizers. Finger foods.You could incorporate both actually. Japanese and Italian, mix it up with Spring Rolls, Egg-rolls, Crab Rangoon, Italian butter with breads for dipping, Bruschetta even have Cannoli for desert. the list is endless. If you go to Taste of Home online you can find just about any recipe you want.
Have fun.
