You can get cheap decorations from Oriental Trading!.com My daughter has her sweet 16 this year!. We started planning and I have been buying all of the little stuff like napkins, cups, streamers a little at a time adn put them in a box!. That way I am spreading the cost over several months and not all at one time!. You have a lot of time until April!. Get your theme and then start getting the stuff you will need!. They get the food and catering when the time comes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If I were you I wouldn't get it catered, I don't think 16 year olds notice really what type of food is at a party just as long as it is a good party! I suggest bringing big bags of chips and candy and bottles of soft drink etc!. also, maybe just get like a couple of disposable cameras and get your parents or you to go around taking photos, as cameras may go missing! Whatever you do, take a camera! A 16th birthday is one to remember!!!

I'd say leave out the expensive centerpieces, keepsakes and disposable cameras!. Lots of people will bring digital cameras, and you should, too!. Don't need the disposables!. The keepsake for your guests can just be your pretty invitation if they want to keep it!.
Keep the hall and DJ if your parents insist!. Cut back on the food!. If the hall will let you bring in your own food, do that!.
If you really want a BBQ in your yard, tell them to use the extra money to fix up the yard - maybe build a deck or something!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
