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.
Of course, she can invite both boys and girls if you choose a theme such as a decade party. Celebrate the 60s or 70s and have the kids dress up in a costume that fits the era. Play music and serve food that was typical of the day, as well. A Hollywood or Academy Awards theme is another fun idea, and you can even give out awards for the costumes such as Best Diva or Most Creative.
If you have a big backyard, especially one with a swimming pool, you could plan a pool party, a Sweet 16 luau or a beach party. Obviously, this only works if the weather is warm enough, but if you have a summer girl, it can be a great theme. Tiki torches and string lights can decorate the backyard allowing the party to extend beyond the daylight hours. For the meal, stick with a fun barbecue or perhaps a Hawaiian feast.
With any birthday party, the dessert is the centerpiece of the evening. Cakes are pretty, but they are also pretty ordinary. It might be much more interesting and fun to select something like gourmet chocolate pizza for your Sweet 16 event. For your chocolate pizza party, head to the experts at Chocolate Pizza Company and you'll find a wide assortment of delicious handmade chocolate pizzas. Each of these pizzas is packed in a traditional pizza box, which creates a truly cool presentation for the party.

In addition to the pizzas, Chocolate Pizza Company sells chocolate-covered potato chips, chocolate-covered pretzels, truffles, almond bark and much more.
