-Girls are generally crazy about make up. Your friends are sure to thank you if you arrange a make over party. Professional make-up artists and hair stylists to dress the girls up would simply buzz the girls up! You can even put up a beauty pageant for them later.

-A salon party would be just as great if you can afford it. Pamper the young guests with massages and pedicures and let them be the beauty queens for the day! You can take them to a nearby spa, or can even call a professional over to your place.

-A masked ball ,

-Because of the nickname "Sweet 16," many girls are choosing to have a candy themed party. The color scheme can be done in pastel colors, such as light blue or pink with chocolate brown accents. Candy canes can be glued facing each other to make hearts, which can then be placed together for centerpiece decorations. Personalized chocolate bars make excellent party favors.

-Another popular party idea is a tropical theme. Decorate the venue with palm trees, bright colors, and tiki lamps. You can serve non-alcoholic pina coladas and daiquiris. This type of celebration works indoors, but is a great idea for a backyard party or one that takes place at a park or beach.

-For a more casual party atmosphere, try renting out a skating rink or bowling alley. Both have arcades and snack bars, which leaves little left for the party planners to have to take care of. You can set aside time to have cake and to open the birthday gifts, but the majority of time can be spent enjoying the activities.

-Theme parks make for a fun party during the summer months. Parks often offer an afternoon discount, which allow you to enter the park after four PM. Again, little preparation is required by the party planners as the party will take care of itself.

-For the girl who really wants a spectacular party, a party planner can help fulfill all your wishes. Many girls will rent out a hotel ballroom or reception hall for their party. Caterers, professional entertainment, and a grand entrance all are possibilities. However, be prepared to spend at least fifteen thousand dollars on this type of party.

- Masquerade Ball (Have everyone come in very grand costumes, they can buy their own masks or you can give a plain mask out which each invitation and have your guests decorate them)
- Backyard Barbeque (Have the party at your house, or rent out a big outdoor area, set up all kinds of picnic table with red and white checked table clothes, have a big barbeque with lots of food, you can also set up a dance floor and hire a DJ! )
- Fashion Extraveganza (if you are renting out a hall transform it into a sort of lounge area, you can get those shoe seats and make a dance floor, you can use black and white and Hot pink or a different colour. You could even ask your guests to only wear black or white and you can be the star in pink! Even make a runway if you want )
- RAINBOW PARTY! (all of your guests have to wear a solid coloured dress/suit/outfit and have lots of brightly coloured decorations, even a pot of gold! For a really fun picture you can all get together and put yourselves in coloured order and for snacks you can have a candy table [have candy like skittles, m&m's, gold coinds] and parttyy)
- Tight&Bright (or glow in the dark party, it can be tons of fun! Get white [or bright] streamers and balloons and rent out blacklights and a DJ! Everyone will have tons of fun!)
- Jungle Fever Party (If you are into animal prints then it is the perfect idea! And there are all kinds of things you can do! Its also fun to serve different mocktails&a fruit buffet!)
- Mardi Gras (Everyone can dress up, dont forget beads and feathers and colours! You can hang up all kinds of pictures/posters and have lots of fun with fabrics and colours! If you have it in your budget you can try to get some kind of performers [ie. stilt walers, juglers, dancers or a parade]

Whatever you do have fun and happy birthday! (:
