What should I do for my party?

I'm turning 13 and having a a hotel party. Three of my friends are coming and they're polar opposites. One is really immature, one is downright nuts, and one is a goth, while I'm a total fangirl. I want to find something that's fun for everyone. My mom wants to do makeovers but me and two other people won't be into that at all, but if I want to have a movie marathon no one else will want to watch what I do. I know it's my party, but it won't be fun if no one likes what we're doing. Also, some of my friends can get really cranky and act like total jerks when they're tired, and one goes to sleep really early while the rest of us like to stay up late. I don't want that one girl to miss out because she falls asleep at 8 o clock sharp, but I also don't want to force my freinds into going to bed really really early. Even food is an issue- One has a dairy intolerance, so no pizza. One has a peanut allergy, so no Chinese food (most of it is cooked in peanut oil). One is gluten free. I have none of that. Also,one can be really sensitive and not get the others sarcastic jokes or whatever. I just want this to be a fun party and not exclude anyone, but we're all so different that's hard to do. Any advice?

    sounds like you're going to have to compromise a little. for the activities, there will be time to do something everybody likes. just explain to the girls they don't have to do anything they don't want to do (such as the makeovers) and have movies playing in the background or games available to keep them entertained while that's going on. have separate rooms- one designated for people who want to go to sleep early, and the other for people that want to stay up. also have some different food options. I have a friend who's gluten free and I know that can be hard to accommodate- most of the time, he prefers to bring his own food, because he knows what he likes. ask your friends want they want, and provide different options, and ask some of them if they would like to bring their own food because of their special diets.

    you can't keep everyone happy all the time- once you accept that, the less you will stress!! maybe there will be fights, but if you ask them all to keep it together and be flexible in honor of your special day, my bet is that they will.

    good luck and happy birthday!!
