16th birthday party ideas?

random gir

so for my 16th birthday(i'm a girl), i don't want a big party thing (like a bat mitzvah) i wan't something different. a lot of my friends are doing dinner in the city (new york) so i want to do something unforgettable. I need a few ideas on things to do. But i already ruled out some stuff like the spa and a water park. i won't get into a lot of detail about what i like so some basic ideas are fine. thank youuuu!

Answer
Dance Party
Cut music notes out of black paper, write the party information on them using a white pencil and send them out as invitations. Move furniture out of the room where the party is going to be held to create a dance floor. Tape CD cases with various singers onto the walls. Put streamers all around the room that are the birthday girl's favorite colors. Hang an inexpensive disco ball from the ceiling. Create a mix of the birthday girl's favorite music for the guests to dance to. Make homemade pizza and snacks for the guests to munch on between dances.

Hollywood Party
Cut a large star out of a piece of white construction paper to make invitations. Remember to let the guests know that this is a Hollywood party and they should dress accordingly. Hang magazine pictures of famous Hollywood stars around the party room. Host a pretend award show, having the birthday boy make up categories and give out handmade awards to his winning friends. Categories can include most creative evening wear and best hairstyle, or create awards specific to his friends' personalities. Serve food inexpensive food such as pasta or meatballs. Serve the guests' soft drinks in plastic champagne flutes.

Outdoor Party
Glue leaves and sticks around the edge of piece of cardstock and write party information in the middle to spread the word about thisparty. Decorate an outdoor party area with tiki torches and helium-filled birthday balloons. Lay out decorative blankets for guests to sit on. Set up different stations where kids can play such games as badminton, croquet and horseshoes. Have a water-balloon toss right before the food is served. Grill hot dogs and hamburgers and make s'mores over the barbecue.

Is this tacky... childs birthday party invitations?

Nina Lee

I decided to give in to his persistence and let him have his (4th) birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Is it tacky to write something to the effect of "children's lunch will be served" on the invites?????

Also... do you pay for the adults???

(We are expecting approx 16 children and 20+ adults.)
Served isn't the word I'm looking for. Can someone help me out?
provided... that's the one, lol
Is it tacky though or understood?
I'm looking at over $200 for the kids alone.

Answer
Actually it's generally understood that when a child is invited to a Bday party at a child's place such as Chuck E. Cheese, lunch is included. it wouldn't be tacky to write that on the invites, but it isn't necessary, I don't think.

As far as adults go, NO WAY!!
You pay for the children invited and that's it....not even the siblings of the invitees. Just be sure to address the invitation to the child you are inviting instead of the "Baker family" or whatever. When I invite children to my kids' parties, I always address the envelope with only the child's name on the front so there is no confusion about whether or not all of the children in the family are invited. This may sound mean, but in reality, why would my turning nine year old son want a three year old little girl at his party just because the older brother is there?
If parents MUST bring the other children (or themselves) , they should expect to have to pay the way of the other child, right?

Have fun:-)

16th birthday party...?

Me

There's a bowling alley around where I live and I want to have my 16th birthday party there since I never do anything for my birthday.

They have group packages that are 12.99 per person(plus tax) and it includes:
2 slices of pizza
1 drink
1 hour of bowling
$10 game card(for the arcade)

My parents and I really can't afford to pay for everyone and I know at least 25+ people will come.

Should I put on the invitations that they have to pay for themselves, or does it just make me look really bad? :/

Answer
umm....yeah. I think that will look a bit bad because it's your birthday party not a get together. Maybe you shouldn't invite so many people.

16th birthday party?

Q. I wont be 16, until a few more months but iwant to start planning now, any suggestions? i dont really know what to do,i dont have a lot of money so nuthing expensive

Answer
Maybe you can throw a party with your friends at a hall or at your house. If its at your house all you need is some CDs and order some pizza for you and your friends to dance and eat. And a cake!!

If its going to be more formal like a Sweet Sixteen Party then
chose a date and look for someplace where you can have it, look for the best place that you can afford Decorate it with ballons or you can even have a them like "Summer Fun" you can get beach chairs and sand (if the place lets you) Send invitations to your closest friends only, that you won't waste that much money on food or the location. Send your invites about a month so that no one can't make it cuz of other plans.
Get someone from school to be a DJ or get a DJ, maybe you can do a dance off or something. You can get your food catered or you and your family can make it. It dosen't have to be that expensive Make sure you have a lot of junk food like chips, tons of cookies and cakes, and don't forget drinks. Make them fuller than full!

Sweet 16 Party Invitations?

Catheri

For my sweet sixteen party me and a group of friends are going to a rodeo. i bought paper and some dimensional stickers to make the invitations but now i cant decide how i want to make them. I have a pack of 12x12 paper and a pack of 6x4. i dont want them to be too big, but i dont know what to do for the layout... any help?

Answer
You should throw a birthday party that is fun and memorable. Just keep it as uncomplicated as possible. You should have a themed outback party. All you need to do enough food and drinks for everyone and a great selection of music that everyone would want to dance to. You can have it in your backyard, a local park, or in an open space you can rent (if you have the money). Make sure you let your family and friends know the type of gifts you want now so they will have enough time to buy them. Here are some gift ideas specifically 16yr olds that you would want to ask for http://www.giftgrease.com/sweet_sixteen.html is you don't find anything you like there then here are more http://www.giftgrease.com/birthday-gift-ideas.html Yeah, birthdays are not all about gifts, but it would not hurt to get some on your birthday.

What are good suggestions for a sweet 16 party?

birthday party invitations 16 image

live.laugh

I am having a sweet 16 birthday party and i'm a girl. What are some good suggestions of places to hold it and ideas on what to do? Fun and cute themes? Different things to have and do there? And just any ideas that have to do with throwing a sweet 16 that's affordable.

Answer
Well this is what I did for my sweet 16:
The theme was "sweet" sixteen so it included lots of treats, and cupcakes.
The invitations were in the shape of cupcakes with glitter ( I made them myself with friends so it was really cheap)
I had my party at Boston Pizza because my dad owns it and they decorated the tables and chairs with all pastel colours so it looked really sweet. I had cupcake shaped balloons/pastel coloured balloons. Everyone had a GIANT lollipop on their chair and my cake consisted of 25 cupcakes and a big cake in the middle. If you search for "cupcake cakes" you will find lots.
It was just a lot of fun and who doesn't like sweets?
The only downside is everyone had a sugar high for so long afterwards haha, which is okay because they had lots of energy for dancing :)

Jvdgbv25

I'm a girl and want to have a good 16th birthday party. I've had good ones before, but I want this one to be really good. Do you have any ideas on what I could do?

I live in the Cincinnati region of Ohio.

Answer
You have many choices, google some ideas I have put two links in source area. One of the website offers video based invitations and cards to send out which is a totally new concept. What you can do is video record your invitation message and choose any invitation design you like from that website and you can add that personal message into any invitations or cards and send to all your friends. This can be really amazing and you will stand out because of this new idea and creativity. They also have RSVP features.

Now for birthday parties, there is another best website where people posts their birthday party ideas and when I say people posts that means hundreds of thousands of ideas :) so I am sure that you will get something from there to celebrate your sweet 16.
