A Truly Sweet 16 Party


by Elba Fenwick


Most young girls dream about turning 16 and not only because of the joys of obtaining a driver's license. The Sweet 16 party is a rite of passage for all those little girls as they transition into womanhood. If you are planning a 16th Birthday party for your daughter, choosing a specific theme can make the process much easier and create a truly memorable occasion for your special girl. Consider the following tips as you plan this momentous party.

One theme that would be popular for an all-girl event would be a spa party. Hire people to come in and provide facials, manicures and pedicures for all her friends. Purchase a soft, fluffy robe for each of the guests and provide goodie bags filled with nail care items, nail polish, lotions and face creams. You can even plan a spa menu with items such as cucumber water, fresh fruit smoothies and light appetizers.

Sometimes when you host a co-ed party, breaking the ice can be difficult. But if everyone comes in costume, then this provides instant conversation starters. You could have a general costume party or stick with a theme, such as TV characters, famous people or even choose a specific decade theme, such as the 1980s or the 1950s. If you have a decade party, this helps you plan out music choices and even the food can complement the decade.

You can also plan a backyard pool party with a beach theme, which might be a lot of fun for a girl born during the summer months. Decorate the patio with twinkle lights and lanterns so that your girl and her friends can keep the party going after the sun sets. For dinner, you can serve up traditional barbecue items or even have a luau menu catered from a local restaurant.

When it comes to dessert options for any of these themes, you can certainly order a fancy cake, but that seems a bit too ordinary for such a momentous occasion. Instead of cake, why not create a spectacular dessert buffet with chocolate pizza as the centerpiece? We've all heard of pizza parties, but a chocolate pizza party is something truly unique. Chocolate Pizza Company creates these divine, gourmet pizzas and tucks them into an actual pizza box for a surprising presentation.

The chocolate pizzas begin with a "crust" that is created by blending handmade English toffee and melted dark chocolate or milk chocolate. From there, a blend of freshly chopped nuts and a dash of white chocolate can be added. You can also opt for toppings such as crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows or perhaps M&Ms. There is even a Happy Birthday chocolate pizza which can include the name of the birthday girl. It might be fun to have a big dessert buffet and include the chocolate pizzas as the centerpiece and then order some other specialties from Chocolate Pizza Company. They have a myriad of delectable items, including almond bark, chocolate-coated pretzels and potato chips, truffles, pecan clusters and Peanut Butter Wings. The wings are the perfect accompaniment to the chocolate pizzas and are created from a mix of potato chips and peanut butter that is dipped either in milk or dark chocolate.
