Preparing for your teenagers sweet 16th birthday party

Your teenager's 16th birthday marks an important transitional year, so the celebratory party should therefore match the importance of this day in their young lives. Whilst they are still too young to organise their birthday bash on their own, parents should remember that teenagers at 16 still consider themselves very grown up.
After discussing issues such as noise levels, appropriate behaviour, a curfew and suitable venues with your teen, the next thing is to start planning the party supplies and party decoration. The simplest way to decorate and organise the party is to apply themes such as princess and paupers, New York New York, bowling or Hollywood.
Devise a guest list based on suitable friends of your teen, in terms of behaviour and sensibility etc and try to even out the gender of guests to help eliminate a sense of division at the party. A party invitation should be sent out to each of these guests at least two weeks before the date to avoid disappointment and cancellations and to entice them to the celebration the invites should look fun and interesting or even match the theme of the party.
Food for the bash should involve the typical party goods like miniature savoury platters, crisps, chocolate and even pizzas, which in most cases are a majority of teenager’s favourite junk food and a good excuse for them to enjoy it. Drink should be mainly fizzy pop and juices and there should be strict rules for guests about bringing any type of alcohol as this can lead to things getting out of hand or even getting hurt.
To make things a bit more fun at the party, other than dancing, you could pick up some party games, slightly adult (to be “cool”) and ones that get everyone involved.
Music should be the choice of the birthday boy/girl to make sure it suits all their guests’ tastes and spaces should be cleared for a dance floor, preferably away from the food and drink tables. Strobe lighting or disco balls would also be a nice touch.
A special cake that can be brought out either half way through or near the end of the party is essential for such a special occasion and if it is you bringing out the treat try to still keep a low profile but make your presence known. If the Birthday teen plays up, you could always give out party bags filled with children’s party products to their guests at the end of the evening as a little embarrassing reminder of who’s boss.
