The Difference: Creating an Epic Sweet 16





Sweet 16s are designed to be an Epic Celebration!   This requires planning which prepares the guests for this experience.  One of the great underutilized tools is a theme!  

Theme

Themes are Awesome!   I love themes for two reasons. The first is it gives direction to your guests and the second is it given vision to the party!

A theme clearly communicates what type of event will take place and how to dress.  A masquerade theme will inform the guests that is a formal event and a Black-light Highlighter party will be a more casual event.  Keep in mind that both theme do state how one is to dress.  A masquerade event is a dress to impress, while the black-light highlighter party requires all guests to wear thick white t-shirts and jeans.   Both are great events but have a completely different feel 

Good theme communicates:

  • Type of Event:  Formal or informal
  • Type of Clothing:  Tuxedo, Formal dress, or Jeans & T Shirt.
  • Extra prop such as a masquerade Ball  you need a mask or Mad Matter: you need a Hat.
  • Remember always  have extra props for the teen who had a little trouble with the theme.
Sweet 16: Party like a Rock Star!
Yes, it does take a little extra work but it will be well with it.


Decoration: 

The theme gives guidance  to the decoration.  It helps to keep everyone on the same page and  allows  everyone understands that all items/decoration needs to fit into a shared vision.


DJ

A great DJ will enhance your theme.  When you give the DJ enough notice he will be able to help support the theme. It may include uplighitng, or suggesting where to find the special prop!
One event was based upon the Emmys therefore we purchased a Red Carpet Runner. It was a great way to support the theme.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.  We can guide you on picking a theme which is an essential step in creating  your daughters Epic Sweet 16 Event.
