Maybe a party at the park or a tea party at home?

I think something you ought to consider is what the person the party is for likes to do. Incorporate their particular tastes into the party rather than trying to make it as 'lolita' as possible [the concept of which is highly subjective]. The point of a party is to have fun, after all.
If the birthday party is for someone who likes tea parties, go to a fancy hotel for the afternoon tea. If the party is for someone who likes paintball, go to a paintball course instead. If the party is for someone who loves movies, take a trip to a drive-in theater or one of the increasingly popular restaurant theaters. It doesn't have to be a lolita-only party so long as it's something that the birthday girl [or boy, as the case may be] will enjoy.
If are bound and determined for it to be a 'lolita' party, you could incorporate games that relate to the fahsion into the party somehow. For example, instead of pin the tail on the donkey, pin the rufflebutt on the lolita, or play bingo in which the squares have brand prints or certain styles of clothing on them and use candy instead of the little plastic markers. Or, you could have a craft-making party in which everyone works together and makes something for the birthday girl/boy as their gift.
There are a million ways to work lolita into a party, but the key is to make it fun for everyone there, especially the guest of honor.

Well, to be honest, it's a subjective matter. There is a certain canon of activities that are considered 'lolita' but without knowing what it is exactly that you yourself enjoy doing, I can't tell you which, if any, would be suitable for your party. The most important thing about lolita is the clothing, so naturally wearing your best outfit is a must. As for activities, that's up to your personal tastes, discretion and imagination.

Lots of Sweets. Mini-cakes ^-^.
Maybe have the decorations based on your favorite style? Like Sweet, you can have pink decorations? So on, so forth.
Tea party is a Lolita thing. Maybe you can explain to your friends what Lolita is and the different styles and yall can talk about that while munching on sweets ^^.
Maybe rent "Kamikaze Girls" with English subs and watch it with your friends while eating sweets?
It's all about the SWEETS!!!!

And obviously if your friends are unfamiliar with it, you don't want to do something that'll weird them out.

One of my friends recently had a birthday party that mixed loli and non-loli.
Granted, it was a two-day birthday extravaganza.
Saturday morning, she went mini golfing with friends. She herself wore a casual Lolita outfit, and people were informed that she would be in lolita, but 'wear whatever your comfortable in'. Then, we went back to her house and played rockband, watched movies, etc. They weren't loli themed or anything, we all brought piles of movies and decided what to watch when we got there. The next morning, she had a tea-party, which was lolita themed. It was requested that you wore nice clothing, if not lolita, and we had strawberry tea, and cute snacks and whatnot. Then there was crafting - we decorated small boxes that she bought at the craft store with scraps of fabric, paint, ribbons, etc. And we watched the tinkerbell movie.
What i would do is look at your budget, and guest list. Are most of the people your inviting lolita/willing to dress nicely? If not, you might want to have a two-parter. Something for the loli/nicely dressed, and something for everyone else, too. If your budget is big enough to have crafting time, that can be alot of fun. If not, you might consider asking people to bring some things, like helping with sweets for the tea party.
How old are you turning?

I'm turning eighteen and my lolita style ranges from gothic to techno to sweet. It depends on my mood.
