So Im having a huge 16th birthday party, and I was just wondering what I could do.
Im renting a big room, where everyone can dance.
So could you give me ideas of what kind of things we could do besides dancing.
And also like themes to decorate.
Thanks. :)



Answer
Beach Party
Creating a beach theme for your teen's birthday celebration requires tropical decorations and an island menu. An outdoor party by the pool is the perfect place for a beach-themed sweet 16 party. Use tiki torches to decorate the backyard, and set up tables full of festive tropical foods. Use tropical flowers such as orchids to decorate the buffet table. Set up lounge chairs in the yard for guests to sit on during the party. Play tropical music along with music your teen selects for dancing.

Winter Theme
Teenagers who have a birthday in the winter months are limited to indoor parties for a sweet 16 celebration. Embrace the cold weather, and use it for the theme of the party. A winter theme party includes decorations with colors of icy blue and shiny silver. Create snowflake decorations, and hang them in the hall or your home to celebrate the event. White and blue Christmas lights also make the room dramatic. Scatter snowflakes on the buffet table, and serve hearty dishes for the meal such as beef stew, potatoes and biscuits. Add some snow banks to the dance floor to give the appearance of an ice rink.

Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras is a wild celebration that teens will enjoy for a sweet 16 party. Have the guests dress up in full masquerade costumes for a mysterious atmosphere. Decorate with Mardi Gras beads, and serve food such as crab cakes, shrimp and jambalaya. Decorate in shades of purple, green and gold with balloons, ribbon and tableware. A Mardi Gras party requires a DJ and plenty of dancing throughout the night.

Formal Party
An elegant formal party is a grown-up way to celebrate a sweet 16 party. Have the teens dress in elegant attire, and have a sit-down dinner for the event. Decorate with centerpieces, white tablecloths and fine tableware. Use flowers around the room to add to the elegant décor. Serve gourmet dishes for the teens, and plan for a DJ and dancing after the meal.

Some good birthday party ideas for october?

Q. its a girl, she'll be turning 16, it'll be in october.
any ideas?


Answer
Hollywood theme: Everyone dress up for a red carpet event. Rent a small hall or room. Have everyone wear white/black and you steal the show in red. Make it a dance. Buy a couple celebrity stand ups for pictures with your guests. Buy hollywood decorations at shindgiz, partycheap, hollywood megastore, etc. Have a DJ.
.

Movie party at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decorations for this at oriental trading. com and you can also find some movie stuff on the hollywood sites I mentioned above. Watch a cool movie, have popcorn and all kids of candy and junk food. Make or buy pizza and have sundaes. Have a sleep over with the girls if you want. Have a dance if your have room.

Luau, beach Hawaii: Orientaltrading has the coolest decorations and favors for this theme and the cutest tropical invitation in the bottle. Give your guests leis as they come in. Play Limbo, Hula hoop, and have a few grass skirts and everyone (including the guys) have to give hulaing a try. Again if you have room to do this at home or you can rent a small room. Tropical pinata. Twister. Hawaii games: http://www.alohafriendsluau.com/games.html.

Candy theme: Pink tablecloths, pink and white balloons. Make candy bouquets for the tables with short wide mouth vase from the dollar store. Fill 1/3 with peppermint disks. Buy colorful lollipops and put in the vase. Make another one t he same but use candy sticks instead like cherry, lime, etc. You can attach bows to each one with a favor card that says your initial, 16 or thanks for coming to my sweet 16 and then after the party give them out as favors. Get personalized M and Ms to put in small favor bags. Get personalized hershey bar wrappers and little personalized stickers that go on the bottom of hershey's kisses or even hard candy. Buy plate size styrofoam 3 inch thick rounds and wrap in clear cellophane for a big hard candy decorations. you could put a wood dowel in one to make it a sucker. Play twister. For favors those candy necklaces, bracelets ands ring pops and candy lipsticks. They sell inflatable lollipops at Windy City Novelities. Buy a sweet 16 plastic sucker mold. We got 1 for 2.50 on Ebay. We bought 3 bags of colored chocolate at the craft store and 1.50 each and made 27 lolliopops out of that. A bag of 100 lolly bags and ties is 1.99. It was so easy to make. Shindigz sells personalized clear candy jars. Also have cotton candy.
Sweet games: One game is you melt small pieces of chocolate into small bowls and then you blindfold people one at a time and have them taste and they have to guess what kind of candybar it is. Then have a candy prize for the winner, like a little candy gift basket.

Fill a jar with some type of small candies, maybe personalized M and Ms with a 16 on them or your initials. Have people guess how many and again have a prize for the winner.

Play bingo using Candy hearts as bingo chips.

Twister is a colorful game that goes with candy theme.

Fill a pinata full of popular candy. Sour stuff seems to be in.

You could do a Willie Wonka like contest. Buy these personalized candy bar wrappers and put a few golden tickets inside when you assemble them. Then, hand them out at the party for an activity and have some small door prize for the winners. http://www.4funparties.com/app/index.php...

Neon theme. Bright colors, neon lights and glow in the dark items. They sell lights that go in balloons and all kinds of neon and glow in the dark items at windy city novelitis, oriental trading and U.S. Toy Company. Shop.glogames.com. Glowsource.com

Have a Hills party like the MTV show. Decorate with Hollywood backgrounds from fun4parties.com. Tell the girls on the invite to wear Hills type dresses and guys preppy style: give the girls rockstar sunglasses like they wear on the hills from windycity novelities. Have a fashion show. Get stores to donate a few items, have your friends model.
