Answer
Toga Party Theme: This birthday party idea is a great choice for the big bash that you are planning. From being dressed in simple bedsheets tied up as togas to elegant ancient Roman costumes reminiscent of the Greek gods, make sure your guests are dressed for your Roman party in style. You can use imprinted trellis and fountain invitations or use handmade scrolls as your party invitation. Toga parties mean decorating the venue in hues of white and gold. You can use gold paint and also decorate the venue with vines and drapes or gossamers of white and golden. Add Greek columns, terracotta urns, pedestals and classical statue busts made of paper mache to complete the look. The activities can include awards of best costumes, accessories and Roman goddess lookalikes. More on teenager party activities.
Spa Party Theme: Girls love to be pampered and a spa party for your 16 year old at any day spa is a perfect way for her to unwind with her friends. From soothing massages, aromatherapy, relaxing manicures and pedicures to heated soaks and warm mud wraps, spa parties are a definite winner with the teens. If your day spa is busy for the big day, then you can transform your house into a relaxing spa retreat. For the decorations, place a number of green plants, stacks of fluffy white towels, aroma candles and lots of fresh fragrant flowers. A small electronic waterfall and lots of nice pillows and blankets completes the look. Book appointments with masseuses or pedicurists for the party. As for the food, light finger foods and refreshing drinks are your best bets when planning this party
Luau Party: It is one of the most popular teenage party themes. It is a fun theme, arranged outdoors during the summer. For this Hawaiian theme, arrange the traditional foods and entertainment. You can also include a limbo contest to get the things rolling. Tikki torches and palm trees add to the atmosphere. You can create a lagoon effect by hanging the streamers in aqua, green and blues colors from the ceiling. A string of white lights add more glow. You can arrange a hula contest with your guests wearing the grass skirts. Let the teens enjoy a night in a tropical paradise.
Movie Theme Party: This party theme is perfect for both the girls and the guys. Select a favorite movie of all teen guests and arrange the party accordingly. For example, a Pirates of the Caribbean theme includes the pirate party goods, red bananas to wear, pirate attire, eye patches and red and black décor. You can play the pirate music or movies. Serving the chocolate coins could be more effective.
Hollywood Theme: For this type of party, you can stick the posters of Hollywood stars on the walls. You can drape yourself just like your favorite Hollywood star. This wonderful theme will make you to feel like the Oscar-winning Star of the Night.
The Survivor Party: Inspired by the popular reality show, this theme is full of fun and excitement. The teenagers are encouraged to apply their imagination. They are asked to make a lot of noise and a couple of yucky acts. This party theme requires plenty of foods for the game. You have to spin the wheel and it will show a particular food that a teenager would have to eat.
Murder Mystery Theme: This theme is truly fantastic for the teenage party, which suits to both boys and girls. It offers an element of drama and excitement that the teenagers always love. You can choose from numerous murder mystery games such as Way out West, Dead manâs Chest, Hollywood Lies, Davy Jonesâ Locker, Dazzled to Death, etc.
Beach Theme: Decorate the party location with the posters of blue water, shark and friendly fish. If the party is for all boys, then use the strange creatures and sharks for the decoration. Pearls and mermaids are used, if the party is for all girls. Sunglasses and beach towels are the great party favors. You may serve the gummy fish and fish crackers.
American Idol Party: For this theme, you will have to rent a karaoke machine. Enjoy your own American Idol contest with your friends.

How should I word this birthday tea party invitation?
Jae
I am sending out formal invitations to family for my daughters 1st birthday. I know she won't care much about birthdays quite yet, but I would like to celebrate the blessing that she is and the fact that I am so grateful she has come into my life with people who understand. I would like the invitation to mention in some regards the fact that we are not just celebrating a year, but all the milestones, hardships and triumphs we has been through together in the past year and all the wonderful things that are to come because to me that's a real reason to celebrate. Here are other facts that might be worth mentioning:
the tea party is somewhat vintage, Mad Hatter inspired
we are hoping the guests dress a little extra fancy (or even silly) such as big, Kentucky Derby type hats, long strands of pearls, bow ties and the like
it would be nice if the intro rhymed a bit, silly like Dr. Suess, but it is not necessary. Likely, the front of the card will be an intro to the party (the cute poem explaining things) and the inside would be a list of facts (where, when, etc)
teas and tea alternatives (lemonades, juice, coffee) snacks and cake will be served - actually cupcakes.
the age of the guests would vary from 1-65 though mostly adults would be attending
I know this is a lot to throw in there, and it might not all be necessary to figure out a nice poem for the introduction but I'm having a hard time phrasing this invitation and was hoping for some help. Any advice about the DIY invitation would be great.
Thanks so much!
ps
I am thinking of asking guests to bring something small for a time capsule she can open when she turns 18 but I'm not sure about that yet.
I picked a tea party because my daughters favorite toy is her tea set. She very much enjoys when her parents sit with her for some "tea" and "cake"
I'm not sure that all that stuff is necessary to put in the invitation, I only mentioned it all so everyone could use their own discretion to figure out what was necessary to include.
Thanks for the answers so far!
Answer
Scones and crumpets at 2 we'll have
High tea served for a big event
Jenny will turn one that day
a milestone birthday occasion
The Red queen decrees morning dress
all the stylish women will wear
their biggest hats and pearls and gloves
and play croquet with flamingos
Our gallant men will bring their top hats
the suave will wear a bow tie
a hanky to profer to a lady
a derby to wear at the Derby.
sorry it is late, and Rivers is tired.
You are trying to put a lot of info into one poem, that might be part of the problem. I would concentrate on the style of the party, and the basic reason why. You can wax poetic and talk about all the trials and tribulations of one year of life at the party if you Want.
If you can dig up a picture of a slightly blousy lady in a too big hat, and possibly her male escort that is obviously uncomfortable in his tea party clothes, it would explain at a glance what is wanted. Gee, seeing some of the guests at the wedding of Prince William and Kate would give me ideas!
I would pick a Victorian down in the heels party, or alice in wonderland, or a day at the races, stick with just one.
If you call the party a tea, peole will understand you mean small snacks and desserts. I would not need to explain that one.
I don't want to discourage the time capsule thing, but I would have thought the time of her birth, and having things with her birthdate on it would have been more the thing to do.
