Sweet 16?!
Ok so I will be turning 16 on December 20th. My mom would let me have like a big party, except I have NO clue what I would do. First of all, I don't have a huge amount of friends...so I'm confused as to who I should invite. I don't have a lot of guy friends at ALL. Actually I would say I don't have any. There's some guys that I just talk to, that I could invite...but I'm not exactly friends with them. I'm pretty shy, so that's why...and also that might be kinda weird if I asked them to come. I dunno. Like do people invite people they JUST talk to sometimes? Ahh... So then I was thinking just a few of my friends go somewhere, like maybe a movie or out to dinner. But that seems boring. I feel like I need to have a sweet 16 party...otherwise 16 is just another year older. I want it to be fun and stuff. But I have no clue what to do. Help?! Thanks so much! :]

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
In that case i would just have a small party with my close friends. Go out somewere... if moneys not a problem you could rent a winter cottage... thats always fun... or if your on a smaller budjet dinner and an asortmant of activities, like mobvies or an all ages club... somthing of the sort would be fun...
If you ask me as corny as this is going to sound the best parties are the ones that you spend with you friends.
hope this helps!

Dear Sweet 16,
First off let me say happy (almost) birthday! Turning sixteen years old is a big deal in everybody's life--you start dating, you learn to drive, get a job and start meeting tons of cool new people! So no matter what you do this will not just be another year older. The possibilities for you are endless as far as a special and memorable sweet sixteen party gos. At this age you will be able to do just about anything and are garenteed a good time, its your attitude and enthousiasm about the activity that will make it fun for everyone else, not nessacarily what you do. Over time I've actually come to realize that the more child-like things get a better reaction and are more fun then what hollywood has portrayed as a "cool party". Almost every city has some type of an 'activity center', teens are very easy to please just give them a variety of things to entertain. For my 16th we went to an activity center called "Hollywood Connection" (In SLC, Utah), it had mini golf, a roller rink, lazer tag, video games, a movie theatre, small restuarant and a few cheesey little kid rides... and as lame as those things would seem it was a huge hit! It's fun for older people because most haven't done stuff like that since they were little, it brings back good memories. And you won't have people getting mad at you or telling you to act your age because the whole point of places like that is to go wild and have some fun. Usually places like that will have a certain day of the week that is really cheap, or will offer big discounts for groups so your mum will be fine with it too.
Invite those people that you only talk to, that's how people become friends and all those guys will love how laid back and fun loving you are! Which equals bonus because then you have new friends AMD potential dates!
The trick to any good party is simple, a group of friends or people who get along and can have a good time and simple joys like fun cheesey activities, greasey pizzas and snacks and a fun-loving attitude. The more you try to plan things out into detail the more frustrated you and everyone else will be. If you take it with a relaxed, go with the flow attitude you can't go wrong and everyone will have a great time.

Hope everything go's great and happy birthday!

I'd say that you should throw a little party with just your friends if you should feel uncomfortable with inviting the whole grade to your party, which is what id suggest if you have your mind set on a huge party. in my experience, almost nobody can hate the hostess of a huge party when theyre having fun, and eating free food. 8D so whichever you want to choose is good. Have fun and good luck... *~Sarah~*
