Let her indulge in some pampering spa treatments with friends.
To celebrate a teenager's coming of age, arrange for a birthday party that celebrates her maturing interests. She is likely no longer interested in traditional childhood parties, so use her interests as a guide to find the party venue or theme that will make her sweet 16 birthday party a memorable event. Does this Spark an idea?
Dancing
For a guest of honor who loves to dance, plan a dance club birthday party at a venue with a more adult nightclub-like atmosphere. Some dance clubs that cater to teenagers offer D.J.s, light and visual effect shows, and pizza dinners. Alternatively, rent a banquet hall for the evening, decorate the venue like a nightclub with a disco ball, a variety of light effects and even a large screen television for music videos. Set up a "bar" to serve soda pops and water, and another table for pizza and other snacks. Hire a D.J. to keep the guests musically entertained throughout the evening.
Pampering
Arrange for an adult-like birthday party at a spa for a sweet 16 guest of honor. Plan a single pampering treatment at the spa for each guest for a party on a budget, or splurge on a variety of treatments -- such as manicures, massages and makeovers -- for a party on a more frivolous budget. Party planners can also arrange a spa party at home with a mobile spa service provider, who will provide the same services at home as those in a spa facility.
Sports
The party group can celebrate a sweet 16 birthday by cheering on the guest of honor's favorite sports team. Arrange for tickets for the party group to the sporting event and supply stadium food -- such as hotdogs and nachos and cheese -- for lunch. To make the day a little bit more special, have the stadium announce the birthday on the scoreboard or arrange for limousine service to and from the event. Take pictures of the group at the stadium for a memorable keepsake of the day.
Thrill-Seeking
Plan a birthday party at an amusement park where a thrill-loving guest of honor can celebrate the coming of age on heart-stopping roller coasters. Party planners can arrange the party at an amusement park that offers party packages with a private party area and party supplies for the day. For a party at an amusement park that does not offer party packages, plan the day out in advance, with breaks for lunch and a stomach-calming period after lunch in the arcade or game areas.
