Your daughter's Sweet 16 birthday party will be one she will never forget, so make it memorable and beautiful using a lot of lights, balloons, streamers, music, and delicious food. A Sweet 16 party honors a girl of 15 who is turning 16 and entering the realm of becoming a young lady. It has been called the "coming of age" party since most states permit the privilege of driving a vehicle at the age of 16 years.
First and foremost, decide on a theme for your daughter's Sweet 16 party. The most popular colors used for the Sweet 16 birthday party are pink and purple, but any colors will do if they compliment the theme of the party. Some popular themes include Princess Sweet 16, Spa Night, Hollywood Evening, a Hawaiian Luau, Masquerade Ball, or a winter theme. All are meant to honor the 16-year-old birthday girl and her friends who come to celebrate with her.
PARTY DECORATIONS
Sweet 16 birthday parties are held in homes, banquet halls, and other special locations, depending on budget. No matter where you decide to host your party, these ideas will work for you when it comes to decorating for your daughter's Sweet 16 birthday party.
The entrance should wow your daughter's guests. Balloon arches are colorful and create a fantastic decoration at the door. LED mini light sets in pink, purple, or the color of your choosing will look fantastic adorning the greenery around the balloon arch. Use Christmas light stakes (you may have some in your attic right now) to make lights appear to "float" when placed along the walkway leading into the entrance. Use traditional incandescent C7, or C9 bulbs and cords to string along the walkway for added color. You can go a traditional route and use all clear or you can mix up the color of the bulbs according to your daughter's taste and the theme of the party.
The gift table is the perfect place to feature photographs of your daughter as she grew from a little girl to a young lady. White mini lights wrapped in tulle and accented with bows lining the table and accenting the photos on the tabletop will illuminate your daughter's images and make them that much more beautiful.
A beautiful Sweet 16 cake is a must at this party. Compliment or match the colors of the cake decorations with mini LED lights of the same colors around the cake table and around the cake itself to add sparkle and the "wow" factor. You can fill glass bricks available at craft stores with mini light and wrap like presents to accent the buffet and gift tables.
Girls love having their photograph taken, right? Take a blank wall and create a unique photo opportunity for your daughter and her guests. Scene setters can easily be rented from a local party store to match your theme. Surround the scene setter with mini lights, Razzberry LED lights, or Strawberry LED lights. Streamers and confetti often bring the look together nicely. Your daughter and friends will enjoy posing for photos throughout the evening.
Table linens should compliment the color scheme. Layer several together for a vivid splash of color and eye appeal. Balloons in colors that match the theme are great in large bunches, tied together, and placed in a decorative box, basket, or pot. Pool several sets of mini lights at the base of the balloons for a glittery and sparkling effect.
You may already have many of the lights you'll need leftover from the last Christmas holiday or you can find lights online all year. Whether you adopt one tip or all of them, planning and a few sparkly lights will make your young woman's Sweet 16 fun and memorable.
