Any Ideas For My Son's Sixteenth Birthday?!


Question: My son will be sixteen the end of December. For the past two years we have had paint ball parties at a near-by facility and it has really been a hit. This year, however, he will be sixteen and I am wondering what is "cool" to do for a guy when they turn sixteen. I don't want to have a three-peat of the paint ball but I do want to have something where my son and his friends can really enjoy themselves. I know the whole "presents and cake" thing is out; that went out years ago with my son! Does anyone have any good ideas - anything unique or really fun - that might work? We live in Indiana so that makes it a bit tough, too. The weather for the month of December in Indiana is usually bad (really cold, maybe some snow) so it limits what we can do outside. My son is extremely athletic, into football (playing and watching college), aggressive inline skating, wrestling, archery ... if that helps any at all ....

Please help me give him a birthday to remember!

i'm sure something will come up.
If he is athletic then look around Indiana and look for places like cool basketball courts or a indoor sports place sence it's to cold outside and make sure all the people he loves being with are there.

I'm 15 and I'm turning 16 next month and honestly all I want is for my friends and family to be with me.

First thing.. does he even want a party? He's going to be 16 and probably one of his friends has a car. He may just want to hang out with them. My son did this when he turned 18. We ended up eating his cake without him! But why not just ask him what type of party he wants, if he does want one.

Try Dave and Busters, if there is one near you. It has a "sports bar" feel to it, but is very family friendly at the same time. They have video/arcade games, sports simulation games, and lots of tvs with every game you can think of. Treat them to lunch and and afternoon of sports.

I think at sixteen a boy would think any theme b-day party would be Liam. Better make sure hes up for it.

Survivor Party
Did with my 17 year old. We had a blast

Ask him wether he want a party in your house or not.
Then, if he wants, you can asked him to invite his friends...
^o^
Nice party, miss!!
