First off you have plenty of time!
Considering you didnt even give a vague idea of what you wanted or how much you can spend here are just a few ideas.
Backyard Sweet Sixteen Party: I am turning 16 this month and I am throwing a Sweet Sixteen, but my problem was that I had a limited budget. So this is what I came up with... I am lucky enough to have a large above ground pool and a propane grill, so rather than having one of those huge formal sweet sixteens I had a barbecue. It only cost me around 40 - 50 dollars to do this. I sent out invitations by flyer to my friends, which are easily done by taking cheap construction paper(I bought 100 sheets at the local dollar general)and writing date name and features on it(i.e... these party at my house on June 23rd 4:oo) and sent them out by dropping them off in my friends mail boxes. Next, for food I went the local groceries and bought 3 bags of potato ,chips, hamburger meat( 2 large packages)and generic hamburger buns and then koolaid. Simple! the night before I decorated with some cheap citronella candles and leis then Christmas lights in any color I had lying around. the morning of the party I preformed the hamburgers and put them in the refrigerator till it was time. then I just bored the chips into cheap plastic bowls of varying color I had lying around the house. after everyone started to arrive I gathered the girls in my room and brought my little secret to the girls, small supersoakers fully loaded and water balloons that were so full they almost popped in your hands. Before proceeding out side we blind folded the guys with scraps of material, then after we lined them up we told them to take the blind folds off as soon as they did we all let them have it. After that fun we all went into the pool and swam and played around for about an hour and a half then we ate... while we let our stomachs settle I passed out slips of paper to everyone each had a name on them and what they then discovered was that was their partner for the next game , the three legged race. for the winner I awarded a CD single from WalMart mart they cost around $2 each so that did not put me back at all. While the guys played basketball the girls if they didn't want to play were taken in to the garage where I had my stereo and a an set up to keep us cool. After all the games were done we went back to the pool until everyone was ready to leave. In my opinion it was a lot of fun and didn't cost hardly anything.
Im having my sweet 16 party on the first day of september and ive been planning it for the past 2months now. Me, my mom and dad decided that it would be a great idea to have it in my backyard which we share with our neighbors. My yard is extremly spacious. My theme is a end of summer celebration because it will be the last bash before the 1st day school. I am a really creative person so deciceded to handmake my own invitations by using some really funky colored ribbons and cardstock.Everyone loved my invites because they looked like they were done profesionally. In my invitations I included a RSVP card which should be mailed back to me. Everyone should be dressed casual since it will be in my yard and i want everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed. I am nigerian and i love my nigerian heritage so I hired a Nigerian DJ because he will be able to play some tradtional Nigerian music and Nigerian Hip_Hop and he's really good in that he will also play some reggae, soca ,dancehall music and american hip hop and r&b. My color theme will be a Torqouise blue, lime green and white. I picked these colors because they are eyecatching and since its summer time i needed some really bright colors. There will be round tables under the tents and they will have white table cloths with beautiful ballon centerpieces. The centerpieces will be a torquise or lime green goody bag with lime green or blue tissue and that will be the base for the 3 layer ballon centerpieces. On every tabel there will be small bottles of bubbles for pple to blow which will also add to the lively atmoshphere of my party. At the entrance to the dancefloor i will have a ballon arch made. All the main food will be placed in my garage so that no bugs/ insects will get to it. I will have two outfits. One is being made in Nigeria into a traditional skirt and blouse. The material was bought in Eurpoe and is being made into an outfit for me. I wil also have a seccond outfit which will be more casual so that I will be able to dance with my friends. I love to dance and my friends know that I am a crazy dancer so I have warned all of them to come prepared to dance ALOT!!! The party favors are being designed by me and and a close friend of mine. We are gonna design a CD label for Cd's that i will give away. These will be put in clear jewel cases that will be decorated with ribbon and rhinstones.
you can do a hollywood theme. everyone can dress up, you can make a Hollywood Walk of fame with the people you invite on poster board and have them in your back yard. Have a red carpet when they walk in. Serve Hors' douevres classy ones (passed if possible) and make mock-tinis. Have a great time planning your birthday!
you could invite your friends over and go to a restaraunt or you coudl have a sleepover. if it doesn't work try doing something else. and i know you feel i'm turning 16 too!
