HELP! SWEET 16 IDEAS?

Have your parents OK'd a party of over 200 people yet?

That's considered a big wedding, and big weddings can cost upwards of $10-20,000 to plan and execute.

You have to consider the venue, seating, drinks, food, favors, a DJ, lighting, decorations, etc.

There is no reason a 16 year old girl needs a party with over 200 people; that is just asking for trouble.

I would suggest paring it down to 9 of your closest friends (you make the party 10 total) and going to an upscale restaurant.

Have your friends all dress up, make reservations at a nice local restaurant and take tons of pictures.

A nice restaurant with an upscale, yet comfortable, atmosphere where you can laugh and have good conversation is far superior to a sea of people and thumping music.

You want to remember this night and preserve the memories, but have it blurred by being overwhelmed and stressed out over entertaining over 200 people; That's not a party for you, but you making a show to entertain people.

This is supposed to be your ascent into womanhood, not a knock-down, throw-out party with a bunch of people you barely know.

Reconsider your guest list, then discuss the idea with your parents.

heyy i understand how u'd want 200 people, but if u do, u wouldnt get to chill wit everyone nd it wont be as special..i'd say just invite ur closest buds nd do something funn =) i had a lot of ppl at my sweet 16 nd it was at my place and seriouslyy..i didnt even get to hang out wit erryone...it always confused me who i should be with nd who i'd forgotten..felt so bad and had to apologize to ppl that i didnt get to spend enough time with them...good luck thou! and have funn! =)
