Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen... You only turn sixteen once - Better make sure it's loud, unforgettable and off course SWEET!

The question, you may ask - Is there any party more delightful than a sweet Sixteen? If you’re stuck for sixteenth birthday party ideas, then you just need to sit back and start counting! It’s easy enough if you remember that a sweet Sixteen party is all about that magic number. For example, how many sweet sixteen balloons do you buy? Sixteen, of course!

Turning Sixteen can be the perfect time for an all-girls party or for a co-ed gathering. No matter what you choose to do, talk with your sweet Sixteen birthday girl first for her ideas because she might be hoping for a good old fashioned slumber party or something a bit more elegant that announces she is approaching adulthood.

Sweet Party Ideas:

Ideas for an informal Sixteenth party can take advantage of the classic teen foods like pizza, ice cream sundaes, sub sandwiches, nachos, and off course lots of soda. When thinking about a more “sweet” party, consider sixteen delicate and tiny birthday cakes surrounding one floral arrangement. Another idea is to keep the guest list to sixteen of your closest friends.

Here are some more ideas:

Why not have a party where the guest of honor opens sixteen mystery boxes to find one final gift tucked inside? Or a cluster of small items like sixteen favorite candy bars, sixteen colors of nail polish, sixteen gift certificates to favorite fast food restaurants or sixteen movie tickets? No matter what you decide to do, just remember that sixteen is the magical number!

 

Invitations for your Sweet Sixteen

Invitations to your party could be presented on candy bar wrappers for the "Sweet"  fiend. To add to the mystery, you could send out a small key enclosed in each of the sixteen invitations. Once your guests arrive, let them try their luck at opening a small chest which contains sixteen special prizes. Keep in mind that often the most creative and appreciated items are the least expensive!

Hopefully these Sweet Sixteen party ideas will help you throw the best Sixteenth party on the block.
