Sweet 16 Decorations for Larger Parties

Home



Sweet 16 decorations are important for this special day. As you read these great sweet 16 party ideas, you must take into consideration your party theme.




Sweet Sixteen Decorations

Sweet sixteen decorations range from your party budget to the parties theme. The most typical decorations you will need for a sweet 16 party are as follows...

A Few of the Basics


When planning on your decorating style, consider your sweet 16 party themes. If you are throwing a pink theme party, but pink decorations!

Create signs for outside to direct the guests to the party. You can also create a check in station where the guests can put their coats and bags. Make sure that you have streamers, balloons or happy birthday signs so that it is clear that this is a special birthday party!



Sweet Sixteen Balloons and Strobe Light



Find a strobe light of your favorite color and white large sized sweet sixteen balloons. Hang the balloons from the ceiling so the strobe light reflects off of them. This is a really cool look for your sweet sixteen decorations. Check out this picture for an example of what you can do with strobe lights and white balloons.

Create a Large “16” Out of Balloons!



Sweet 16 decorations have various ways of creating huge and creative decorations for very cheap. To create your own “16” out of balloons, all you have to do is blow up several balloons of the same color and pit them up to a wall. Make sure that you pin the balloons up in a way that creates a number 1 and a number 6 beside each other. Once you have the design right, you can stack and layer the balloons on top of each other using tape.

Cool Ways to Decorate Using Sweet Sixteen Balloons



Creating balloons flowers is a beautiful way to make sweet 16 decorations fast and cheap. To make these you will need 4 or 6 balloons for each flower and some ribbon. Blow up the balloons, usually the dame color or 1 balloon of a different color, and tie two balloons together. Next tie a third and you will have what looks like a 3 leaf clover. When you have that going, tie another to the bunch. You will notice the shape that it has made. Attach more balloons and your flower will become larger.

Elegant Table Setting



If you are having a large formal party, rent a couple of 8 foot long tables or even picnic tables and cover them with white table cloths. Find long and thin pieces of fabric to place across the middle of each table. I would recommend that you find a color that you have chosen for the parties color scheme. Matching chairs are important as well if you are not using picnic tables. You could even rent or buy chair covers for very cheap.

Simple recyclable plates and cups are great for this party as well so you don’t have as many dishes to do. Place a sweet 16 centerpiece in the middle of each table. Traditional lanterns also look beautiful over the elegant table setting, as you can see in this picture.



Desert Buffet



Create a desert buffet by placing several baked goods, candy and treats all along a long buffet style table. Place the sweet 16 birthday cake in the middle for a drastic look. Use your sweet 16 decorations to style the table with a nice white table cloth and maybe flow some party streamers down along the table.

Dance Floor Sweet 16 Decorations



Create a dance floor with a square of unused space at the party. You can hang Christmas lights on the ceiling or even rent a disco ball and strobe lights to shine over the floor. Hang balloons that dangle off strings from the ceiling for a cool effect. If you are using a disco ball or strobe lights, white balloons give a really cool effect to the dance floor. Hire a dj or set up a sound system off to the corner of the dance floor.

Make sure that all chairs and tables are moved away from the dance floor so that know body gets hurt! Remember; use your sweet 16 party themes to decorate your dance floor. If you are having a black light party after dinner, make sure that everyone is wearing a white shirt/ dress.

Have fun with these sweet 16 decorating tips and tricks!
