Hi! i'm a girl and i'm having my Sweet 16 party in several weeks, and i'm starting to send out invitations. most of my friends are girls, but i have a few close guy friends as well. my question is this, should i invite those guy friends even though there will be mostly girls at the party?
i feel like it would be awkward because there would be about 15 girls (maybe) and about 5 or 6 guys. i have more guy friends that i could invite but some of them i don't know all that well. what do you think?
thanks! :)

One party, a guy had to leave early and the last there was talked into letting the girls mouse his hair and put makeup on him. Not kidding, I was shocked when I checked on em but he was eating this up, having so many girls put their hands on him! LOL
In your case, there's a great balance, enough for some fun party games, stuff we did in church youth group so its still innocent. The circle is ringed with girls seated and each boy takes a turn going around to each girl saying, "Honey if you love me just smile." She has to answer, "I love you honey but I just can't smile" However he gets to do all sorts of silly things to make her smile or laugh, like cartoon voice or funny face for example. If she smiles, She's out until all the guys going around have eliminated most the girls or want to switch to all the guys in a circle or in a row in this case and each girl gets to try to make a guy smile. Stick with the guys you know best and are friends with, as you already know their character better and what you can expect of their behavior. One daughter invited a girl she didn't know too well and I caught her instigating many rough games in a small house. Things were being knocked over and broken but I didn't know until the next morning when my daughter told me. She didn't know the girl would do this and I know her other friends well enough from before to know they wouldn't. She was barred from ever coming over again for not respecting our home and property. So make sure there are no trouble makers in the group or there could be trouble. Hope you have a wonderful party dear. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

I wouldn't invite people that I don't know well because in my experience it doesn't make the party any better. Just have the people around that care about you. :) [ Valentina's advice column | Ask Valentina A Question ]

It can make or break your party. You don't want a fight at your Sweet 16. If you sense a possible conflict, don't be afraid to politely ask them to play nice or just ignore one another, as this is your special day and you don't want any problems.
