    For food, I would recommend having an almost entirely dessert type buffet, just make sure that is made clear on the invites so people don't come expecting a huge meal. However, you should have some cheese and pepperoni pizza available. Have different kinds of cookies, a huge birthday cake, rice crispy treats, brownies, a large assortment of candy, and maybe a sundae bar with lots of yummy toppings. If you can afford it, rent a chocolate fountain for the evening, and next to it have marshmallows, strawberries, sugar cookies, donut bites and things like that to dip in it. You could have jell-o in interesting shapes, or you could chill jell-o in martini glasses and then add cool whip on top, and you could even coat the rim of the glass in sugar. You could make cupcakes with different colored frosting, and add toppings to them. You could put all your different types of candy in a candy bar on a table. Get clear containers all the same size and put one type of candy in each.

    You have a lot of options for decorations. You could put a bunch of M&M's or Skittles in a vase, and then stick large lollipops in them. These would act as your "flowers" and would keep with your theme quite nicely. Clusters of brightly colored balloons around the room would be nice, as would a lot of brightly colored streamers hung around the doorways, windows, around the ceiling etc. Any tables you use ca be covered with bright colored tablecloths, and you can scatter extra candy on the tables. Make sure any plates, napkins, cups etc that you use are brightly colored to go with the theme.

    For party favors you can give everybody either cute buckets or bags filled with candy necklaces and bracelets, lollipops, ring pops, gumdrops, basically just a lot of candy. For the girls you could included candy flavored lip gloss or chapstick and candy scented body spray, lotion, or candles. You could also include glowsticks.

    For games, you could have a pinata filled with candy. You could set up a huge candyland board game on the floor that you make yourself with colored squares and such. You could fill up a jar with M&M's and whoever guesses closest to how many are in the jar wins a prize. You could play Twister, truth or dare, and have a dance party. You could also play bingo and use M&M's as chips.

    Well you sound like your going to be having alot of fun with the candy anyways :)

    But ... you could do who can eat the most sundae/chocolates in a given time . Add balloons , music , decorate the room with streamers , you could always have partys games like truth or dare , spin the bottle maybe , stuff like that .

    If your parents will allow maybe you and a couple of close friends could go shopping / the movies / theme park first then have more people round for the party later ? Have a sleepover after , even !

    Dont forget to have some savoury food , mini sanwhiches , pizzas ect otherwise everyone will get very sick , very quickly lol !

    When people go home you could find some candy themed lip balms , bracelets and candy canes ect for the goodie bags .

    Have a great time ! :)

    ideas: you can play limbo made out of candy

    you can make gingerbread house kits or just buy your own grahm crackers, icing, gumdrops, etc.

    you can play many games like tag or hide and seek and have a twist with it that has to do with candy
