Here are some ideas to use for your Sweet 16 Party!
Sweet Sixteen Party Themes
”Favorites” Theme: Pick a party theme that salutes what the birthday guy or gal enjoys. If Madisen loves the beach, have a
luau. More Themes: You’ll find lots of themes on our Teen Party Ideas page. Some of the favorites found on this page are a Blacklight Party, Luau, a Scavenger Hunt, Slumber Party...the list goes on and on... One of my favorites themes for a sweet sixteen party is a Hollywood Star party, because the birthday girl (or guy) can be the true "star"!
And of course, nothing could be "sweeter" than a
Candy Theme Sweet Sixteen!
Sweet Sixteen Games and ActivitiesCandle Lighting Ceremony:Rent a candelabra from a party store. Look for one with sixteen candles. At your party, name 16 people who have made a difference in your life and tell why. As you name each of them, have them come up one by one and light a candle. If you have a candelabra with 18 candles, then have your parents light two of the candles and other special people can light the other 16. Give the Number: Ask guests to think of something that they can bring sixteen of. For example, guests could bring 16 M&Ms, 16 pennies, 16 paperclips, 16 cookies, etc. Give the examples to your guests and see what all they come up with!
Golden Birthday: If this party happens to be a Golden Birthday(turning 16 on the 16th) you'll need to do something extra special to celebrate!
Before the party, create a questionnaire for the guests to complete. List 16 questions about the honoree (for example, favorite color, favorite animal, etc.) At the party, let the guests complete it and see who gets the most correct. They’ll win a prize!
16th Birthday Wordfind: Before the party, create a word find puzzle with 16 things that the birthday guy or gal loves. Have these sitting out during the party for the guests to work if they wish.
Birthday Bingo: Enjoy a bingo game! Create bingo cards where each square is something that is of interest to the birthday guy or gal, such as “Wii”, “Bike Riding”, “High School Musical”, etc.
Predict their Future: What will the birthday guy or gal be doing in 10 years? Have guests write down their predictions and collect them to read aloud or place in an album. Memory Book: Before the party, ask guests to tell you their favorite memory about the honoree. Include photos if they are available. Collect these into a memory book to present at the party. You can also create these into a slide show. Don’t limit it to guests, also collect memories from out of town friends.
Special Frame: You've seen it at weddings or other special events. A photographed is framed with a nice wide mat as a border so that all the guests can sign on the mat. These wide mats can be purchased at any craft store with framing supplies, art store or framing store. Make sure you get one big enough for all the guests at your sweet sixteen party to have room to sign.
Top Sixteen List: Before the party, ask guests to complete this sentence “I like (the birthday guy or gal) because. . .” Combine the answers into a list, frame it and present it at the party. For example, “I like Elizabeth because she stays up late. When we go to a slumber party we are always the last two people to go to sleep.” You’ll collect some that are sweet and touching, and some that are really funny! Another option: You can also create a slide show with these quotes and add photos and music. Show it at the party for all to see.
Or: Before the party, ask guests to complete the sentence while you video tape their answers. They can tell a funny story or something to back up their sentiment. Show the video at the party.
Sweet Sixteen Party FavorsMy favorite favor for a sixteenth birthday party is a keychain.The guests will be learning to drive or are new drivers, and their first cars are a very big deal! Pick a key chain that reflects the theme of the party or have a custom keychain created.
You can also make a flip book from your favorite video clip at FlipClips. Another fun idea is visiting www-TemporaryTattoos.com to get your own custom tattoos made! And everyone loves Kookys!
