Sweet 16 Party

Whether or not your 16 year old is “sweet” you can still have fun playing up the Sweet 16 theme with an old-fashioned Tea Party. Or go the opposite direction and have a Go-Cart Racing party to appeal to your teen’s adventurous side. A Movie Party, Slumber Party or Luau are other fun ways to celebrate this special birthday. If your teen has a favorite activity, such as horseback riding, ice skating, or dancing, consider incorporating the activity as the destination or entertainment for the party.
