Sweet 16!


Question Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 1:41 am

My 16th birthday isnt until the end of August..but I really want to have one & start planning. I want to have a huge party (like on MTV) but the problem is - I dont know if I have that much money. I imagine those parties are like, 300,000 thousand dollars or MORE. I definitely dont have that. Any ideas for a good sweet 16? Themes? Ways to cut the cost down?

Also, how can my party stand out? Obviously, I want a band to come - like Copeland or Dashboard Confessional..but that really cant happen I dont think. I dont know, IS it possible?

hey, well i think that you could pull off an amazing party just not as big considering they have A LOT of money. well location is a big part. if you have this party in a basement or a hotel, people will think that its just another regular party. i know tons of people who do basement and hotel partys. there just too simple and normal. instead have the party at a hall. for the theme, just use colors. black, silver, and teal look gorgeous together. in order to get in your party, you could say you have to be wearing either black, silver, or teal. if you wanted to be wild, you could make your theme leopard. you couldnt do wear leopard to get in because i dont think that the guys would like that or even some of the girls, but the decorations could be leopard. i saw a togo party on the last season of sweet sixteen. that could be a good idea. also for your dresses, have one to come in, one to party in, and one to leave in. i would skip the band and go for a dj. have them play like your favorite songs by the bands that you were hoping to get. for your entrance and leaving, you could have some hot guys carry you out and in. have fun [=.

Many bands will make an apperance/ perform for between $3,000 and $300,000.

I don't know you, and you didn't specify if you wanted a color theme, or a real theme, so I think Vegas or Paris with their respective colors would be cool.

okay you could have a color scheme as in pink silver and white, and have a dress to match. make your own cut invatations so you can save all the budget you can for the band. you probably need to try to raise money.The invatations can be on white paper, with a pink ribbon on top and silver sequence swirling down the edges. You can have the party at a hotel or go a different route and have it in a pretty big basement. You could have tables with white table cloth over them with big elaborate center peices (to match the color scheme.) You can have disposable cameras on every table tied with a pink ribbon. Pink and white streamers can be draped and twisted all over the basement or hotel ceiling. But remember the main focal point is the band so save your money!!
