A Fantastic Party For Your Sweet Sixteen

By Elba Fenwick


For many girls, they are as excited about having a Sweet 16 party as they are about getting a driver's license or car. This is a truly a huge occasion in her life, and you definitely want to create a happy and memorable event. This can be tricky, but it is usually much easier to plan a party if there is a set theme. If you are having trouble coming up with a great party theme, let the following examples inspire you.

One theme that would be popular for an all-girl event would be a spa party. Hire people to come in and provide facials, manicures and pedicures for all her friends. Purchase a soft, fluffy robe for each of the guests and provide goodie bags filled with nail care items, nail polish, lotions and face creams. You can even plan a spa menu with items such as cucumber water, fresh fruit smoothies and light appetizers.

Of course, she can invite both boys and girls if you choose a theme such as a decade party. Celebrate the 60s or 70s and have the kids dress up in a costume that fits the era. Play music and serve food that was typical of the day, as well. A Hollywood or Academy Awards theme is another fun idea, and you can even give out awards for the costumes such as Best Diva or Most Creative.

You can also plan a backyard pool party with a beach theme, which might be a lot of fun for a girl born during the summer months. Decorate the patio with twinkle lights and lanterns so that your girl and her friends can keep the party going after the sun sets. For dinner, you can serve up traditional barbecue items or even have a luau menu catered from a local restaurant.

When it comes to dessert options for any of these themes, you can certainly order a fancy cake, but that seems a bit too ordinary for such a momentous occasion. Instead of cake, why not create a spectacular dessert buffet with chocolate pizza as the centerpiece? We've all heard of pizza parties, but a chocolate pizza party is something truly unique. Chocolate Pizza Company creates these divine, gourmet pizzas and tucks them into an actual pizza box for a surprising presentation.

The chocolate pizzas begin with a "crust" that is created by blending handmade English toffee and melted dark chocolate or milk chocolate. From there, a blend of freshly chopped nuts and a dash of white chocolate can be added. You can also opt for toppings such as crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows or perhaps M&Ms. There is even a Happy Birthday chocolate pizza which can include the name of the birthday girl. It might be fun to have a big dessert buffet and include the chocolate pizzas as the centerpiece and then order some other specialties from Chocolate Pizza Company. They have a myriad of delectable items, including almond bark, chocolate-coated pretzels and potato chips, truffles, pecan clusters and Peanut Butter Wings. The wings are the perfect accompaniment to the chocolate pizzas and are created from a mix of potato chips and peanut butter that is dipped either in milk or dark chocolate.
