Planning Your Super Sweet Sixteen Party

A Super Sweet Sixteen Party is one of the biggest moments in a young persons life. Planning can seem daunting or even might happen a lot quicker than you thoguht but the earlier you plan the better your party will be. These planning points should help you plan the Ultimate Super Sweet Sixteen Party just as you’ve dreamed!

1. Find a venue. The place where the party will be held, this will dictate the rest of the details of your party from decorations, to cost, to look and feel -- everything.

2. Pick colors and a theme. Masquerade, highlighter, dress to impress, “clubbin the night away” pretty in pink can all be great themes. Colors that complement eachother, pink and green, pink and black, red and black, brown and light blue will make sure your event, lights and decorations all match and look great!

3. Pick the right entertainment. The key to the party is the entertainment. If you pick the right DJ or the right band then it will make sure that you and your friends have a blast. Many times the entertainment can bring awesome “Club” style lighting to your party to make it feel just like TV. Find someone that has all the latest music, lights, games and more to keep all of your guests having a blast so no one leaves early.

4. The Cake. Will you have the cake custom made, or will you pick one up from the local Costco or grocery store? Make sure the cake fits in to the overall theme of the party (colors, decorations, etc).

5. Photography. Having someone to take pictures will make your event feel bigger and help you keep all the great memories you’ll make forever. Many times good DJ’s can provide photography for your party.

6. Grand Entrance. How will you enter the room? What song do you want playing? Will you have a red carpet entrance? Will you come in by yourself or with your VIP’s or closest friends? Maybe a paprazzi entrance with photography everywhere? Work with the DJ to think of something original for you.

7. Outfit. Picking the right outfit is crucial, try to match the colors of the event or pick a bright color so that you stand out and look your best.

8. After party. After the party is over where are you and your closest friends going to afterwards? Many times people will get hotel rooms or will have a sleepover back at their house complete with food, drinks and movies. Having a solid plan for after the party will make sure your day is complete.

Plan everything out and have a timeline, you should be able to work with the entertainment or the venue to come up with a timeline complete with time built in to account for guests arriving “fashionably late” and to have a place for you to relax before your big grand entrance.  With a little planning and the list above you’ll have the Ultimate Sweet Sixteen Party!
