A sixteenth birthday party has endless possible themes.
Turning sixteen years old is a momentous occasion celebrated by family and friends. Many cultures feel this is the gateway age, indicating teenagers are almost adults. Families throw elaborate birthday parties commemorating this milestone in their child's life. Choosing a party theme that encompasses a broad range of decorations, entertainment and games makes organizing the party easier.
Twilight
A Twilight-themed birthday party is an appropriate choice for teenagers who like the Stephenie Meyer book series. Recreate Bella's birthday party by decorating the party room with a multitude of candles. Create an Italian-themed menu for the party. Dress up tables with traditional Italian red and white checked table clothes. Purchase Twilight-themed paper plates, cups and napkins. Make spaghetti or lasagna for a main course, accompanied by Italian bread served in a breadbasket and salad with Italian dressing. An ideal Italian dessert is a layered cake called Tiramisu. Add a party game, such as "Twilight Scene it?" or "Twilight: The Movie Board Game." Gather the guests for a romantic replica Twilight Prom dance with the males sporting plastic fangs and the females wearing fake air casts on their right legs.
Masked Ball
A masked ball is a sophisticated event with guests wearing elegant formal wear. Each guest covers her face with a half mask that disguises the upper portion of her head. Rent a dining hall or recreation hall for the party. Decorate with streamers hanging from the ceiling and mirrored balls. Use linen tablecloths for each table, and organize a centerpiece with long taper dinner candles and decorative flowers in vases. Place china table settings on each table with linen napkins folded elaborately into swans. Cover all the chairs with linen, and tie satin ribbons around the chairs to secure the fabric. Form large bows with the ribbon ends on the back of each chair. Serve guests a three-course meal, starting with an appetizer, then soup or salad and an entree. Set up a dessert cart to mimic the feel of a quality restaurant. Wheel the cart around and allow guests to choose their dessert. For entertainment, leave room for a dance floor for ballroom dancing. Have guests create their own ball masks with felt, beads, feathers, plastic gemstones, elastic or doweling sticks. To keep party guests' formal wear clean, keep a stack of aprons handy.
Camelot
A Camelot-themed birthday party is an adventurous choice. Ladies can dress in traditional long, medieval-style gowns, and men can dress as knights. The birthday girl is Queen Genevieve, and her date is King Arthur, or vice versa. Decorate the party room with long banquet tables covered in linen. Each table setting has a platter of food served by serving women. Purchase Styrofoam swords and jousts for a jousting tournament, use a pole tied with ribbons for a maypole dance, or provide a sword ring for duels.
