16th Birthday Party Ideas

16th birthday party ideas

Sweet Sixteen, far better than what they show on that one TV network-how to make your sweet sixteen even sweeter.

On a certain TV network, they show kids turning sixteen that are anything but sweet. From weeping that they did not get the color Mercedes they had demanded to going ballistic because another girl wore "her" dress color these girls can make the average parent dread the birthday period. However, it does not have to be like that, because unlike those reality show people, your teen really is sweet.

For most teens, this is the magic age where they get their driver's permit and then their license. While many of them secretly hope that they will wake up on the morning of their birthday and find a new car in the driveway, the reality is that not many of them will actually have that happen.

However, you can still let them get some of the same (almost) thrill of driving by taking the whole party to the go kart track for the day. Other party suggestions include a trip to the spa, or for those who do have their permit a day of driving in the family car. (NO guests allowed.)
