I need themes, or anything, any fun games to do at a party, invitations, food, etc, she is NOT a girly girl. She is not a tomboy either, like in between. I need help, her birthday is in January.
thanks, and I do have a WII! :)

Depending on where you live (or rather, if it is cold enough where you live)...
- Skating (Maybe you could do outdoor skating at night, then come back to your place for pizza, and maybe a movie and a sleepover?)
- Same thing as above except for tobogganing instead of skating.
And then, there are always the classics...
- Movie theater, then a sleepover.
- At home spa (but since you have mentioned that she is not that much of a girly girl, this might not be the greatest.)
- Rock climbing (this is great, especially if she's athletic. Lots of my friends have done this)
I remember when I was younger, my mom would take us to random fun places for my birthday parties. I think when I was 10, we went to an indoor roller skating park. When I was 11, we went to a trampolining place where they taught us how to do tricks and flips on the trampolines (this was probably my most fun birthday party ever! I would definitely recommend it.)
Also, when my friend was turning 11, we went to this place where you paint your own ceramic cups, places, bowls, etc., and then they put them in the oven for you and you get to take them home. That was fun.
As for food, it kind of depends on the number of kids that there are going to be. If you're going to be feeding a crowd, like 10+ kids, then I would recommend something simple like pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc., or else it can get kind of expensive (if you go to a restaurant), or time consuming (if you're going to cook yourself).
However, if you are going to be having only a few kids, then you could splurge a little bit and take them out to a restaurant, since it won't be as expensive. I would recommend Montana's, Kelsey's, Swiss Chalet, pretty much any of those family restaurants.
Also, if you're going to have a sleepover (which I would highly recommend, 11 year old girls love them, regardless of weather or not the are girly girls), make sure you have tons of snacks. I would recommend chips, cookies, pop, pretty much whatever she wants. Don't worry about all the sugar, afterall, this only happens once a year :)
Games... hmmmm. Pinyata, musical chairs, board games.
For invitations, my mom used to always make them on the computer using some simple graphic design program. It's not that difficult at all. Just include the basic information, and put some pretty pictures.

Okay, I JUST had my Sweet Sixteen party 2 weeks ago, and this is what I did:
Venue: Rented a really nice hall with a 75 person capacity for $70/hour for 5 hours.
Invitations: I made the invitations myself using photoshop (Google "sweet sixteen" and lots of cool banners and things come up) And printed them off on glossy paper at Staples.
Food: I ordered a bunch of pizzas, made two big pans of pasta, a huge salad, chicken strips, and had lots of chips. (Food that everyone likes, but an upgrade from hot dogs and hamburgers). Also take into consideration themed cups, napkins, plates, utensils, etc.
Music: I DJed my own party by getting giant speakers from my dad's work, but you can probably ask around for a sound system (relatives, friends, etc might lend you one) and then make a party playlist on an ipod and put it on shuffle. If someone wants a certain song, they can put it on themselves (my friends prefered this to a DJ because they had more control and variety).
Games: Coincidentally my party was also candyland themed! The game we played was that we had these medium sized gumball machines, and we gave one to each table to play hot potato with (i.e. play the music, when the music stops, the person holding it is out, last person standing gets to keep the gumball machine). My friends totally loved this!
Limo: Do you really need a limo? Arent you gonna go there early to set up anyways?
Cake: I would suggest making your own cake, as store bought cakes are EXTREMELY overpriced. Make a 2 or 3 layered cake and cover it in fondant to make it look fancy. Then make a giant bow out of icing for the top! (Google or YouTube how, its pretty easy). The result is the same, but its sooo much cheaper!
Party Favours: I made chocolate covered Oreos. Cutest things ever, but pretty inexpensive to make. Buy a template at a cake decorating store and simply fill the template with melted chocolate, and insert the oreo, the when you pop it out you have an oreo with a cute chocolate design on it. Put these into a pretty party bag, tie it with a bow, and put a tag on the bow that says "[Your Name]'s Sweet Sixteen!" or something.
All and all, this would cost about:
Venue: $350
Invites: $10-15
Food: $250
Music: FREE
Games: gunball machines are about $6 each at Walmart, assuming you have about 8 tables =$48
Cake: Homemade = ~$65, Store bought= ~$300
Party Favours: after buying all the supplies, about $0.50 each. (so for about 70 people, $30)
TOTAL PARTY: $756 (but if you buy your cake, just under $1000)
