She's Not A Little Girl Any More

A Sweet Sixteen Party marks an important milestone in your little girl's life. For one thing, she's not a little girl any more.

But a lot of things change when you daughter turns 16. She's probably going to get her driver's license, which means she's going to be mobile now. If you thought she was on-the-go before, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Maybe she's dating now, and maybe she's thinking about college. Maybe she's even getting a job so she can start being even more independent.

She'll always be your little girl. But on this special day she's Sweet Sixteen. And Sweet 16 parties have always been a really big deal. They're coming-out parties where your daughter leaves childhood behind and enters the adult world.

And it's time to have a party!

Some families have a traditional formal party, a Debutante Ball or a Quinceanera. Others have a smaller affair - a slumber party for all her girlfriends or her first boy/girl party.

It's really up to you and your daughter what type of party you plan - or if you even have a party. But remember....

It's a big day for her. So whatever you do, make it something special!

Planning A Sweet 16 Party

Your own family traditions and your daughter's personality and wishes should determine the theme of your Sweet 16 Party. Don't assume that just because this is the 21st Century your daughter has lost all interest in family traditions.

If your family has traditionally held a formal Debutante Ball or an elegant Quinceanera, then you daughter may have been looking forward to this all her life.

On the other hand, she may have something else in mind.

Some other traditional themes for Sweet Sixteen parties include: Masquerade Balls, a Hollywood glamor party, a Luau, a Movie Party, and a Slumber Party.

And decorations can cover a wide range, too: From angels, fairies and princesses to Disco, Gothic or Glamor.

If you're planning to surprise your daughter it might be a good idea to consult with one of her friends - someone you know you can trust. A better idea though would be to let her take part in the planning so you'll know for sure it's something she'll like.

After all, this is her special day and this is one birthday she's going to remember for the rest of her life!
