The amout of chips each player starts with, the starting blind level, and the time/amout of increase all depend on how long you are trying to make the tournament last. The longer you want to it last, the smaller the blinds should start in relation to the stacks.

Although for a good night of fun, I would recomend changing the chip values so that the lowest chip value is 25 "dollars". Each player should start with about 5,000 in chips with the blinds starting at 25-50. Increase the blinds every 10-15 minutes or so. Blinds should go from 25-50 to 50-100, then you can either do 75-150, 100-200, 125-250 (increasing blinds by 25 each round) or 25-50, 50-100, 100-200, 200-400 (doubling the blinds every round).

Again this all depends on how long you want the tourny to last and how this suits the game. I would suggest trying out different structures and seeing what works best but this is a pretty good start.
