Set rules ahead of time. Make it clear to guests what is allowed in one's home. Don't allow teens to come and go from the party. This will prevent one from being held responsible for anything that might happen while the teen is gone, including drinking.
While trust and communication are imperative in a parent-child relationship, being labeled a "cool" parent is not ideal, or necessary. Don't give in temptation by allowing teens to drink at the party. It is, after all, illegal.
During the party, allow the teens enough privacy to relax and have fun, but check in on them regularly to make sure everything is going well and the teens are behaving. Provide enough party games and activities to keep guests occupied and not bored. Theme parties are well-liked among teens, as are activites such as video games, bowling and sports.
Set up a mini buffet of teen favorites, such as pizza, sandwiches, vegetables with dips, chips, and sodas, juices or water.
Be mindful of curfew laws in the area, and obtain contact information for guests' parents in case of an emergency.
