16th Birthdat
I am planning my nephew's sweet sixteen party in a couple weeks. It's going to be a New Orleans Saints theme. My question is: Are 16 year olds too old for goodie bags and if not any suggestions about what should be in them? (I was thinking fleur-de-lis earrings for the girls and black cord fleur-de-lis chains for the boys, but I have no clue what else to put in them.) And do boys call it sweet sixteen or is that just for girls? What about party games??? Please help.

Stop no no no goodie bags are a big no no I'm a boy and I would be embarresed to recieve a goodie bag on my 16th b day. Not sure but think as if you were a 16 year old guy and think what they would want!

Usually the lable of sweet 16 is reserved for girls only, and least in my part of the country.
Was once at a weddding, and while people were waiting at the reception for the bride and groom to arrive, each table received a bag of children's toys and game that people could participate in doing - a Mad Libs pad, soldiers with parachutes, paddles with red rubber balls attached, corny riddle books, magic tricks, glow in the dark necklaces (if at night) - this for a guest list of young adults (mostly) and family friends. What a blast! Most of it came from dollar stores.
If it's a more casual event, you might put out big baskets, like bread baskets, only they are filled with filled water pistols. Don't announce or explain - just let it happen.
GOOD LUCK, and hope they all have a great time.

Goodie bags are always fun, as kids get older then just usually call them party favors. Girls tend to get earrings and charm bracelets in theirs, and boys get things like cologn. Stuff everyone likes to get is sunglasses, candy, ect.
Boys also call it a sweet sixteen, just like girls do.
Goodluck!
