1. Paris Night
Who doesn’t love the Eiffel tower and all things Paris? A night in Paris theme can make for a very chic and fun birthday bash. You can have hanging lights, and even a fun cafe scene to tie your theme together.
Don’t forget to look for sweet 16 dresses to enhance your chic and fabulous Paris birthday night.
2. Outdoor Movie Bash
Another sweet 16 birthday idea is to throw an outdoor movie bash. This is a more relaxed but still fun party idea. If you love movies then this couldn’t be any more perfect.
You can use your favorite movie posters as decor and hang fun string lights around the screen and everywhere outside. You can rent an old fashioned popcorn machine for some snacks and have a candy bar to add to the movie theme.
If you want to include some engagement you can have a movie bingo game or play movie trivia in between the scheduled flicks of the night.
3. Breakfast at Tiffany’s
A luxury Tiffany & Co. theme is always a hit theme for a party. You can have the famous Tiffany blue box as table centerpieces or for party goodies. The famous blue box can also be used to create the birthday cake.
Make sure that you have white bows, balloons in Tiffany blue, and streamers to add to the breakfast at Tiffany’s sophisticated theme.
4. Blacklight Party
If you love to dance then a blacklight dance party is perfect for you. Make sure to have plenty of glow sticks for your guests to have fun with while they are dancing the night away at your party. You can also use glow in the dark paint to decorate the room.
When the lights go out the paint and glow sticks will come alive. Encourage your guests to wear white clothing to be part of the glowing show. This party is best to have in a room that most of the light can be blocked to really enjoy the blacklight theme.
5. Slumber Party
No one is ever too old to enjoy a slumber party. Invite your closest friends for a fun birthday night where you can turn your living room into an area that anyone would want to come to sleep in.
Use fun pillows and blankets to add to your theme of choice and have a line up of activities such as movies, facials, board games, baking, or nail painting. Make sure to have slumber party food, snacks, and sweet treats for a long night of partying.
You can have guests bring a certain pajama theme to your party (think onesies or silk PJs) and if you want to spoil your guests you can have comfy slippers for them and bathrobes to add to the slumber party feel.
6. Pool Party
If you love swimming then why not throw a pool party? Get creative with your invites and include something fun like a blow-up beach ball with each invite. This will help set the mood for your party.
There are so many options when it comes to decorating a pool party from fun balloons to towels and floaties. If you prefer the beach over the pool but do not live anywhere near a beach you can create your own beach theme party.
You can even use sand buckets and shovels for decor to add to the beach theme.
7. Ball
If you love Cinderella and fancy balls then throwing a ball would make sense. You can take it a step further and make it a black and white ball. Have fun decorating with everything black and white.
From table covers to a chic black and white birthday cake, the options are truly endless. If you set up a dessert bar you can have two fountains on each side one with white chocolate and one with dark chocolate to add to the black and white theme.
You can take it a step further and add stripes or polka dots to the decor. If you love masquerade balls you can have masks available for your guests as they arrive at your party or you can tell them to bring their own if they prefer.
Another ball theme is a Disney princess ball. Think all things Cinderella and you can’t go wrong. This will create a memorable night for all of your guests if you add details like a horse and carriage (either for decor or a real one for picture opportunities).
You can also have glass slippers for decor and a clock striking on the hour to represent the midnight clock strike. Use your imagination and have fun spinning those creative wheels when hosting a ball theme birthday party.
