Your daughter is turning 16 and you want to have a party that will be something to remember. However, with the problems in today’s economy, price is an object and you need to come up with something that does not break the budget. So what will make her 16th birthday something special and still stay within the price range you have allowed.
Here are a few ideas for that special party that your daughter will love:
#1: Check around and see how much it would cost to rent a limousine. This is going to be the major expense but it will be a great party. A limo can be rented for about $130 an hour.
Have the party about dusk. You can decorate the patio (if it is warm weather) or a family room with lights and a castle theme. If it is nice weather an outside party would be great. The tiny lantern lights would be perfect for this and you can have the area set up with a table and all the fine finishes for a small amount of money. Purchase goblets for the girls to drink from. You can buy the plastic ones at a very reasonable price.
The limo should pick all the girls up from their home and bring them to the party destination. Tell them to dress up. Make it a magical evening by providing the enchantment of a special area that is decorated in the castle fashion.
Party favors that can be purchased for a couple of dollars each are silver castle candles in a mesh bag. This would be the perfect gift for all the girls. Another great party favor would be tiaras they can wear while at the party and take home later to remember the great time they had.
#2: Another great idea that is not expensive is to have a rock concert theme. This can include setting up a karaoke machine so the girls can all have a turn at singing their favorite tune. Set up an area like a concert stage and you can even buy some CDs so they can record their version of their favorite hit song. The computer can have some input on this as well. You can get a label package and they can even design their own labels to put on the CD they have recorded.
#3: A summer birthday bash idea that is always popular are pool parties. This is a theme that is always a hit with just about any age or sex. The great thing about pool parties is add the music, the snacks and you have a great party theme. There can be all types of pool games that can be a part of the party. Prizes can be awarded for the winners of the games. This is an inexpensive party and the kids will have a blast.
No matter what type of party your daughter decides she would like to have there are always ways around the expense. Cutting corners mainly boils down to comparison shopping. Just because your party decorations are not from a high-priced party store does not mean they are going to be enjoyed any less.
