Fear not! Ms. Masa has you covered for fun and engaging party ideas that will have even the most awkward people breaking out of their shell, but are not so over the top that you break the bank.

1. Laser Tag Do you like the rush of excitement? If you answered yes, then this is a party you want to throw. Get a small group of friends and don't forget to get pizza for dinner. This party is bound to be a blast, just make sure you can take a hit!

2. Night Out on the Town Ever wanted to go explore an old town and no one was up for it? Now you have the perfect excuse to wander around with friends: A party. Sightsee, enjoy the unique places, and go somewhere famous for eating, then go to sleep knowing you saw a lovely old town, with little expenses.

3. Murder Mystery Everyone wants some mystery in their life, and what better way to spice it up than a party? Show off your writing skills and write your own plot, and give each of your guests a character, tailored to them, to play, or buy a plot online. It’s up to you to decide your fate.

4. Spa To host a spa party you don't have to go to a spa, you can easily do it at home and lighten the cost. Get some containers and fill them with water to soak you and your guest's feet, then put in some Epsom salt, buy a face mask, paint your nails, and play truth or dare. Whoever said beauty had to cost?

5. Chopped /Cooking Contest Have you ever watched a competitive cooking show and thought that would be fun? Well, we have the perfect recipe for you: You’ll need friends who know how to cook, some punishments, and some ingredients. Put in a plastic baggie and shake. Instant fun!

6. Ice cream social We scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Who doesn't like ice cream? This is the party to have if you have a hard to please guest list. And best of all: you only have to buy your ice cream.

9. Obstacle course If you're competitive and want to bring on a sweat, go ahead and invite your friends to an obstacle course party! (The obstacle course can be made out of anything: be creative!)

10. Dance battle You're probably looking at this idea and thinking, ‘I’m terrible at dancing or I’m great at dancing’. This is true, but an even bigger truth is that no one is good at dancing unless it’s from the heart, surrounded by family and friends is the best way to have fun!

11. Temporary Carnival If you have a little one, a carnival party would be super fun for them! I don't mean for you to go to an actual carnival, I'm saying go ahead and make your own carnival.

Grill some hot dogs. 6. Make lemonade.

12. Guess the Lyric Are you a music lover? If so, make a party out of that passion. Make games where you and others have to guess the artist, the song or even the album by a lyric alone.

13. Makeshift maze Mazes are really fun! Make sure it's a nice cool day though. when i went to a maze made of corn it was burning hot! Get some sunscreen on, sunglasses and water and maybe a hat if you want.

14. Act out your favorite musical Singing in the shower again? Drop that and sing with your friends! Enjoy your favorite musicals with a twist: you’re the star. No one will care if you miss a beat, they’ll be singing as well.
