Is it too babyish? all feedback (unless your mean)gets a 5 c
Question Posted Monday March 28 2005, 1:07 pm
OK ive been to a few sweet 16's this year and everyone has the same thing : music and food for like 3-4 hours. People who arent the dancing queens and are dancing all night..tend to say they are bored, etc. For mine..i def dont want that to happen.
Is it a cool idea to go swimming for 2 hours at the hotel(im having my party there) with my closer friends ..then a half hour later the actual party starts? There are showers and i could bring a hair dryer (its a nice place) so my friends could do my hair so its not sopping wet. Also, there are a ton of pretty cool games i found off the internet which i was figuring would keep everyone happy.
Examples are :
(twister,hula hoop contest,game where two teams and together as a train..everyone has to walk to the finish line in single file while everyone has a bananna they have to get across without using their hands..they have to press it against the backs of the other ppl,
guy belly dancing contest, dancing/singing contest,pinata,limbo, and the human string relay, where there are two teams in a single file line. The first person has a spoon tied to yarn, and they have to put it down their shirt and pants..pass it back..same thing happens,,whoever is done first wins, "Roast" where people get up and tell funny story about guest of honor (me), game where as guests come in..you give them a necklace and tell them if they say any form of "yes" then the person who hears that can take their necklace away..person with most necklaces at the end wins.
for all these games i was thinking spending $50 on prizes for the night and for the winners i would hand out prizes
if you dont like these could you give me an idea on how to keep everyone happy and for my sweet 16 to be different and unique? thanks!! 5's for everyone who isnt rude because i know this is super long..but its really important to me

Pinkymeowcat answered Monday March 28 2005, 1:44 pm: I'm sure your party's gonna be a hit! There's also a game that I played at my friends birthday where you split up in groups of like 5 or something, and each group gets a list of like 10-20 things on it that are all different( like a bobby pin, or a paperclip i dont know) and what you do is see how much of the things on the list u HAVE this isnt a treasure hunt!! like you might have it in your purse or somethin this game is sooo fun and you give them like 5- 10 mins to get together as much stuff as they have, and whoever has the most wins one of your prizes! By the way, what kind of prizes are you planning to give out... pranks, sunglasses, lip gloss i dont no [ Pinkymeowcat's advice column | Ask Pinkymeowcat A Question ]

Sherry answered Monday March 28 2005, 1:16 pm: I thought of a good idea. Well after the swimming, everyone get ready to go out and do a scavenger hunt around the hotel. Like you have 20 people so split them up 2 teams of 10. Give them a list of things they have to find around the hotel (hotel soap, hotel pen, whatever) and they have to meet back at the lobby in 45 min or a hour. Everyone loves scavenger hunts! Those games you listed are pretty cool..but I think the scavenger hunt would be something no one has done and it would be really fun searching for the things around the hotel. I hope you have a great sweet 16 ! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
