A girl's Sweet Sixteen birthday party is the most important party of her teenage life. By throwing a well-planned and imaginative party based around a theme, you can give your teenage girl the night of her dreams. These parties are acknowledgement of adulthood and a celebration of the individual.

Most parties have themes that include the interests of the young lady who is celebrating. Whatever you plan you will need to do a few things well in advance. You will have to decide on a caterer or planned menu, DJ or live music, rental hall or restaurant, decorations and invitations. And above all pick up the sweet sixteen party theme.

The theme should really reflect the birthday girl’s taste and passions. Utilize the theme throughout the design of the party. The invitation, decorations, party space and menu should all reflect the party theme. Pick a more active party theme for the Sweet Sixteen who likes to move. Ice skating rinks or even ski trips make an excellent party theme for smaller groups.

If you go for a simple theme such as a favorite color for a Sweet Sixteen party on a budget you should send out invitations in matching color and decorate with streamers and balloons in the theme color. If you want splurge then go with a movie theme based on a romantic hit then find props that reflect the style or era of the movie.
