Your Sweet 16 Celebration Event Guide

A Sweet 16 is a very special party in young girl’s life.  It’s so much fun when you work to represent the guest of honor’s personality and interests.

When you begin your party planning before you send invitations, start with choosing a location.  Will you host in a banquet hall or raw space?  Is the best fit for the party your home? Depending on your budget and the amount of guests you will be inviting, plan enough room for the guests to mingle and enjoy their time dancing.

The menu for your event should include food that everyone will be likely to enjoy. Research various caterers to find which might work the best for the event and your budget.  Ask for their suggestions for a little extra creativity. 

Next, think DÉCOR. A potential party theme could take your party to the next level! Some themes require additional items such as specialty dishware, extra chairs, tables, a red carpet, staging, red ropes and stanchions, wall and ceiling lighting or if the event will be at your home, you’ll definitely need a dance floor and if you’ll be hosting outdoors-a tent.  Many of these items are available for rent, so, you won’t need to pay the cost of purchasing or storing after the event.  Fun themes to consider are Under the Sea, Hollywood Sweet 16, Hawaiian Luau, Winter Wonderland, and Dress to Impress etc. For more theme ideas check out www.pinterest.com

When you find your party theme, it will be fun to match the linens and additional decorations accordingly.

Work with an event planner or friend on a written timeline for your event to help your event run smoothly and efficiently.  The timeline should include the times from the beginning to the end of the event. Any event activities should be included in your timeline to be sure you fit in all the fun while allowing guests enough time to mingle and dance.

Don’t forget to send invites and let your guests know you are looking forward to their arrival.  Be sure to follow up and collect RSVP’s.

How To Hold A Wedding That Won't Break The Bank

You hope your wedding is one of the happiest days of your life but when the party is over how does your bank account look?  You have the venue, the decorations, the outfits, accessories and many vendor services that go into the wedding that really put that bank account out of balance. The easiest way to save money is to invite a smaller guest list if you pay by the head. Plus,  you won't want to pay for someone that you hardly know just because you thought you should invite them. Keep the list small with ground rules of who can or cannot have a plus one. If you have a close relative or a close friend who has a profession in, for example, the entertainment industry, consider asking them if that could be their wedding gift to you or ask them for a "family" rate.  Now comes the choice of one of the most important details of your wedding, THE FOOD! Some wedding venues will have a package  including their catering and decor services or you might c...
