You’ve already blown my #1 recommendation–to have it at someone else’s house. We had some fun little things that were cheap and the kids could take home–M&Ms with their school/graduation year, those silly (New Year’s?) glasses with their graduation year on top, little rubber ducks in the pool. I think glow sticks (those long ones that turn into necklaces/bracelets) are fun. We did have a couple of dads who were big into fireworks.

Food-wise we had catered barbecue, which went over pretty big. Parents contributed sides/desserts. I think there was a big sheet cake decorated appropriately. Also had a DJ (cheap–someone’s brother) and one of those photographers who doesn’t charge much (any?) to shoot a bunch of pictures and then sells them off a web site. Took a lot of nice “groups of kids” shots, plus a lot of nice pictures of individual families.
