If your daughter is celebrating her 16th birthday with a sweet 16, then you will want to throw her a big birthday bash. While many Sweet 16 parties will leave the celebrant feeling like a princess, there are many other themes that you can go with as well. Depending on the birthday girl’s interests, there are so many ideas to choose from. Just Right Catering can help you plan the perfect menu for the party.
For a girl who has a winter birthday, a Winter Wonderland theme is perfect. You can decorate the venue in snowflakes and plenty of white. Light blue is another nice color to add to a Winter Wonderland theme. Another fun wonderland theme for a sweet 16 is Alice in Wonderland. Think of whimsical patterns and colors as well as tea party accessories like teacups and tea pots for every table. Other decorative nods to the theme can include little bottles with “drink me” tags on them, cookies with labels that say “eat me,” playing cards, and themed photo booth props. Great ideas for photo props include a Cheshire cat grin, Mad Hatter hats, bunny ears, crowns, and bows.
Cosmopolitan cities can also make wonderful themes for any sweet 16. From Paris to New York City, these cities have many qualities that would make any sweet 16 a fun, sophisticated soiree. For an NYC theme, you can use street signs or popular NYC landmarks instead of table numbers. Fun landmarks include the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Bronx Zoo. You can also use NYC neighborhoods like SoHo, Midtown, Times Square, Tribeca, and so on. A skyscraper birthday cake would continue the fun NYC theme. You could try a southern theme with a fantastic outdoor BBQ. See our BBQ catering menu’s here.
For a Parisian theme, you can either use black and white colors for a sophisticated look or you can go with red, blue, and white, the colors of the French flag. The Eiffel tower will really establish Paris as the party’s theme. You can send out invitations that look like a passport or an airplane ticket. Don’t forget to play French music and serve delicious French pastries. At Just Right Catering, we can provide you with a variety of French pastries that include choux buns, chocolate éclairs, and mocha puffs. Our delicious cheese platters are perfect for a Parisian party as well.
If your daughter loves the limelight, then she will love having a Hollywood or red carpet themed sweet 16. Don’t forget the red carpet and a backdrop with a huge Hollywood sign in huge letters. Another fun flashy idea for a sweet 16 theme is a roaring 20’s party. Don’t forget to provide guests with feather boas and feathered headbands. Guys can wear fedora hats. You can even get a dance instructor to teach the crowd some 1920’s dance moves.
For an elegant sweet 16, try having a masquerade. You can have a few masks on hand at the party for those who forget to bring their own. You can even use masks as centerpieces.
Whatever theme you end up choosing for a sweet 16, our team of catering professionals can help take the event to a new level. Our delicious dishes will perfectly complement your event’s theme.
