Sweet Sixteen Party Ideas
When planning a sweet 16th party, you need sweet sixteen party ideas for a party to remember!
Themed parties
are hot and when having a sweet 16, there are so many great themed party ideas to choose from! So, when deciding what type of party to have consider a few things like:
Cost
Location
Formal/informal
Party invitation ideas
Guest list
Party menu ideas
Party decoration ideas
Sweet 16 party favors
Party game ideas
Party music ideas
One thing that is a good idea to do is ask your teen for some ideas. After all, some teens feel self-conscious about having a formal party. We just went through this. The big problem was who to ask and who not to ask. You don’t want anyone to feel left out.
Some teens can’t wait for there sweet 16 and others just don’t even want to acknowledge it at all.
So what do you do? Let the about-to-be sixteen make the decision. After all teenage parties can be stressful, so why not let them come up with ideas for birthday parties that will make them happy?
We have some great ideas to get you organized and some links to some great suppliers when you are ready to put things in motion, but some decisions should be made before you start ordering anything. Ready?
We always choose our theme first!
Along with the themes we have on this site, there are a few that are really great for sweet sixteen parties.
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday - is an lavished celebration of crazy costumes and wild make-up, masks and colorful clothes. Parades are also a part of this celebration! We buy our party supplies at Costume Discounters. They have great Mardi Gras Costumes at discounted prices, plus great customer service and everything you need for any theme!
our favorite! Rock the night away with great music, fun food, and great clothes!
Luau - you can't go wrong with this theme! It's all about fun! From the invitations and clothes, to the music, and of course the food! You can find Hawaiian Luau Costumes & Decor at BuyCostumes.com and save!
Toga Party - this is one party theme idea that is making a comeback. As a greek style party, one that is popular with college fraternities, is so much fun and easy too! All you need is a sheet to make your toga, some sandals, music, and good greek food.
if your teen and their friends like to "ham it up" then a Murder Mystery party is the one of the most perfect sweet sixteen party ideas. The game comes in a kit which makes it very easy! Check out
and do a search for murder mystery kits. They have all kinds and one will be perfect for your sweet 16!
