7 Awesome Sweet 16 Decoration Ideas!
Sweet 16 celebrations call for fantastic decorations! For a party they’ll never forget, take a peek at our fun ideas that go with a variety of themes for guys and girls.

 

1. Sweet treats

This one’s for the sugary sweet teen that can’t get enough tasty treats. Create a tower of cupcakes with a colorful cupcake stand. Display delicious macarons on a clear 10-tier macaron stand for the perfect centerpiece. Fill the room with gorgeous pastel balloons.

 

2.

Get ready to see them strut! A Hollywood theme party is just the event your teen will love dressing up for. Create a red carpet walkway that guests pass through and take a photo of each one. Complete the setup with red velvet ropes and strobe lights that mimic the flash of the paparazzi cameras. Complete the theme with a Hollywood Style Photo Booth!

3. Hawaiian luau

For the teen who’s birthday falls smack dab in the heat of the summer, host a fun pool party for all their friends. Throw in plenty of inflatable beach balls and florescent inner tubes in the water. Light tiki torches, hang colorful lanterns and pass out leis for everyone to wear. Serve up scrumptious s’mores, too.

4. Chocolate bar

Savor the taste of all things chocolate. Set up a long table with a rich pink, deep blue or fine white tablecloth on top. Cover every spot with mouthwatering chocolate treats: chocolate cupcakes, chocolate fudge and chocolate cake. Have a chocolate fountain, too! Ask guests to wear their best dresses and suits, and let them dive into these decadent pleasures.

5. Miami heat

Let them dance and hangout Miami style. Since these crowds of teens aren’t quite ready to celebrate at a club for their friend’s big birthday bash, rent out a venue just for them. Place white couches against the wall and illuminate the room with radiant blue lights.

 

6. Roller skating throw back

Why not throw an ‘80s party at the local skating rink? Ask your guests to come in their best ‘80s outfits. Decorate the space with neon pink, green and yellow balloons. Leave out fun games to play: The Game of Life, Connect Four and Twister. Place trolls, cassette tapes and slap bracelets at each table.

7. Masquerade mystery

Combine elegance and mystery into your teen’s celebration with a masquerade party. Adorn the room with gold candelabras and red roses on white tablecloths. Add silver, gold and jewel toned-balloons everywhere. Decorate green shrubs in stone urns with brilliant white lights, and give each guest a stunning mask to wear during the night.
