Don't make your party a huge chore -- you'll want to have fun yourself, and limiting the number of drink types will make it much easier. And I'm assuming you plan to make pre-mixes. You should pick drinks you like and like to make. Having said that, and since you expect a lot of newbies, I'd recommend you concoct cocktails that most people will know: Mai Tai, Zombie, Navy Grog, Blue Hawaii, and maybe Singapore Sling or Suffering Bastard or Fog Cutter.
