Sweet 16 Birthday Ideas

Looking for sweet 16 birthday ideas? Well you have come to the right place. When looking for great ideas, you will want to consider the basic sweet 16 traditions.
Sweet 16 Traditions
Sweet 16 traditions include the following:

• The Grand Entrance
• Sweet 16 Candle Ceremony
• Sweet 16 Shoe Ceremony
• Tiara Ceremony
• Father Daughter Dance

What are these all about?
Well the grand entrance is self explanatory. If you've ever seen any of MTV's Episodes of "My Super SWeet Sixteen", this is where the girl's go out of their way to enter the party with a big bang.
The sweet 16 candle ceremony is a tradition where the birthday girl lights a candle for someone special. She lights up 16 candles for 16 people and tells each of them why they are special.
The shoe ceremony is when the father or father figure carries a pair of high heel shoes to the birthday girl, and places them on her feet. This symbolizes the father excepting her growing up.
The tiara ceremony is essentially the same as a shoe ceremony, just this time the father figure places a tiara or crown on top of the birthday girls head traditionally. You don't need to do all of these traditions at your sweet 16, but it is nice to know a bit about each. This way you have choices!
The father daughter dance is once again pretty self explanatory. The father gets the first dance with the birthday girl, and know body else should be on the dance floor at this time. The song played should be a special and meaningful one.
Things You Can Do
Hiring a DJ...
Hiring a DJ is an excellent idea if you want great music at your party with good priced entertainment. This isn't a necessity, but would be nice to have if it's in the budget.
Have a limo party!
A limo party would be a fun and easy sweet 16. Pick up each of the guests with the limo, then surprise the birthday girl with the limo filled with all of her friends. You can take the out for dinner, to a scenic area, to a dance, or just all around town!
Hire a Photographer.
Did you want the birthday girl to have extra special memories? You can hire a photographer to give the gals and pals a special photo shoot. This is especially good for Hollywood and fashionista sweet 16 themes.
Where to Get the Decorations
I have always personally found joke shops to be excellent places to find awesome and unique decorations.
But in all honesty, you can find all of your decorating needs at your local dollar store, Walmart or even party supply shop. Not to mention looking for little treasures online! It's very easy to decorate once you have decided on your sweet 16 theme.
