Create The Perfect Sweet 16 Event

By Elba Fenwick


For most teenagers, sixteen is a magic number, and having a Sweet 16 party is a big dream for many young girls. This event should mark a transition from the children's parties of her youth into a more adult theme, but it still needs to maintain a youthful tone. Here are some suggestions of themes that might make her sixteenth birthday one of the happiest occasions of her life.

For an all-girl party, consider transforming a room of your house into a high-class day spa. The girls can enjoy facials, hair styling, a make-up demonstration and even a mani-pedi. Pass out posh robes for each of the girls and when they leave, hand them special bags filled with make-up, hand lotion, mini perfume bottles and nail polish. Be sure to have a smoothie bar and set up a buffet with fresh fruits, veggies and tea sandwiches and salads for a true spa experience.

Of course, she can invite both boys and girls if you choose a theme such as a decade party. Celebrate the 60s or 70s and have the kids dress up in a costume that fits the era. Play music and serve food that was typical of the day, as well. A Hollywood or Academy Awards theme is another fun idea, and you can even give out awards for the costumes such as Best Diva or Most Creative.

If you have a big backyard, especially one with a swimming pool, you could plan a pool party, a Sweet 16 luau or a beach party. Obviously, this only works if the weather is warm enough, but if you have a summer girl, it can be a great theme. Tiki torches and string lights can decorate the backyard allowing the party to extend beyond the daylight hours. For the meal, stick with a fun barbecue or perhaps a Hawaiian feast.

When it comes to dessert options for any of these themes, you can certainly order a fancy cake, but that seems a bit too ordinary for such a momentous occasion. Instead of cake, why not create a spectacular dessert buffet with chocolate pizza as the centerpiece? We've all heard of pizza parties, but a chocolate pizza party is something truly unique. Chocolate Pizza Company creates these divine, gourmet pizzas and tucks them into an actual pizza box for a surprising presentation.

The pizzas are all handmade and created using the finest gourmet milk, dark and white chocolate. Most of the pizzas begin with a blend of melted chocolate, dark or milk, and English toffee, which the company makes by hand. There are many different toppings to consider. The most popular variety includes a mix of nuts with a drizzle of melted white chocolate. You can also enjoy a pizza topped with M&Ms or perhaps mini marshmallows and graham crackers. The white chocolate pizzas are a blend of melted white chocolate, slivered almonds and dried cranberries. You can also consider purchasing the Happy Birthday Pizza and have your daughter's name written on in white chocolate. There are plenty of other choices to consider purchasing including the company's signature Peanut Butter Wings. These are a delightful combination of creamy-style peanut butter and crushed potatoes chips that are doused in melted milk chocolate or melted dark chocolate. What could be a better accompaniment to chocolate pizza than a batch of Peanut Butter Wings?
