Have an exciting sweet sixteen.
For many teenage girls, their sixteenth birthday is an important event. To celebrate this milestone, many girls throw a Sweet 16 party. Giving the festivities a theme can aid in party-planning direction and help make a Sweet 16 party extra special. Does this Spark an idea?
Dance Party
Let the guests show off their dance moves.
If the birthday girl loves to dance, she'll be thrilled to celebrate her special day on the dance floor. Book a dance hall or event venue for an impressive dance space. Even a home basement or outside deck can be converted to a club-like environment with some disco balls, strobe lights, fog machines, streamers and balloons. Whether you hire a DJ or create a playlist on a computer, make sure to blast energetic tunes with a good beat.
Red Carpet Gala
The birthday girl can make a grand entrance in a limo.
The birthday girl and her friends will feel like superstars at a Hollywood-themed party. Before the party, invite guests to show up wearing their most glamorous gowns and sharpest suits and tuxedos. Pull out the red carpet to make a grand entrance to the event. For the true celebrity feel, invite parents to take pictures of the guests as they enter the party. Inside, guests can snack on fancy hors d'ouevres and soda served in champagne flutes. Screen a movie to entertain the guests.
Luau
Remember to bring bathing suits.
A tropical-themed sweet 16 party will make a splash with guests. While during the summer months, an outdoor luau is ideal, bringing the festivities to an indoor pool make a tropical party possible year round. Decorate the space with brightly colored lanterns, tiki torches, fake palm trees and beach balls. The sounds of steel drums and Caribbean music will make guests feel as though they've traveled to the tropics. To get the luau started, greet guests with a colorful lei.
Princess Ball
A prom gown with a tiara will make the birthday girl look like a princess.
Even grown girls may want to dress up as a princess sometimes. A fairy tale inspired ball makes for a dreamlike sweet 16 theme party. Tell guests to dress in prom gowns and fancy tuxedos. Whether you spring for a ballroom or host the party at a home, decorate the space with elegant floral arrangements, string lights, and a castle backdrop. After a sit-down banquet, invite guests to the ball, where they can dance the night away.
