Birthday Party at Home for 9 Year Old?

I have never hosted a "kid" party. I am considering hosting a (BBQ or pizza) party at my home but am not sure about entertainment, games and I am nervous about having so many children in my back yard.(about 25 - 30) Should I hire entertainment? What kind of games are best? Should we open gifts at the party? Perhaps I should just go with the Chuckie Cheese or Boomers party, the kids seem to love that. Any advice?? Thank you

What Do You Do with All the Stuff from Birthday Parties?

Lately my daughter (3) has gone to a lot of birthday parties. Every one has sent us home with a "goody bag" full of little stuff. Plastic toys, pads, crayons (we now have about 5 of those), etc. We had a little bucket for that stuff, but it is just EVERYWHERE. It is overflowing the bucket, some of it is too big for the bucket, and is just a random mass of junk. She's attached to it all, so I can't just throw it away. Help! What can I do?
