Birthday Party Theme Ideas: Sweet Sixteen Party

• Create a formal atmosphere by renting a hall and asking guests to dress their best.
• Provide guests with a disposable camera to take candid pictures of the party.
• Fill mini or wrist purses with candy for a favor bag.
• Give your daughter 16 roses throughout the day with special messages from family to her.
• Have a favorites party - decorate with what her favorite birthday party from her childhood was or do favorite color schemes.
• A 'This is your Childhood' theme and video can be fun to show.
• Rent a room at a hotel and have the party there. Dress up and get ready at the hotel boutique, eat at the restaurant, cake and presents in the room, swimming and movies for activity.
• Renting a limo is always fun, but plan somewhere to actually go that isn't too close.
• Play Kiss a Prince by putting up a poster of your sweet 16's favorite teen boy celeb and giving each girl some loud lipstick. Then have the girl put on a blindfold and kiss the poster. The one who get closest to his lips wins.
• Have the girls collect things from people in the neighborhood, like 16 pennies.

  Do you want party kits or should you do it yourself? Often with parties, a combination of the two will get things done and give the party your special touch. That's the real key in making your party a big hit. Here are a few pirate party packages from birthday party supply companies on the net.
