Themes and a dress for my sweet 16?

I'm having my sweet sixteen in a few months and I'm not really sure what kind of theme or dress I want to have.





I want my dress to be red, and amazingly beautiful. I'm not really sure if I want it to be a big princess dress, but I don't really want a short dress or a babydoll dress either.





I have no idea what theme to pick. I don't want to do anything too weird. I want somthing really pretty, like a winter wonder land. (The problem with that is my party isn't in winter :\)

Themes and a dress for my sweet 16?
Winter could be recreated in other seasons!


Heres some other themes:


Hollywood Theme-Pictures of celebrities all over, have a red carpet, awards(when your doing your 16 candles).





All around the world-Pick your favorite places all around the world. Ex-Rome, Paris, New York.. and decorate different areas with this theme.





Pretty in Pink-Everything PINK!





SWEET sixteen- CandyLand-Candy, everywhere! Candy straws, chocolate fountain..





Masquerade Party-Everyone wears gorgeous, old fashion dresses and a mask.





Vegas Theme-Rent mini casino games. Sign that says welcome to vegas.





A Luau





Retro Theme-Different time periods. Ex.The 60's, 70's, 80's.





If you like any of these, make a new topic about the one you like and you'll get lots of ideas, things to do and stuff.





HAVEFUN!

Reply:Hey my sister had a sweet sixteen this passed summer and she was having a hard time picking a theme and her dress.





Well since you want it to be pretty or maybe in a princess dress, maybe a maskarade party will work. You know the big princess dresses and masks? That would be a nice idea.





Another idea is to have like an actual princess and prince party. All the girls wear princess dresses and tiara's adn the guys wear like tux's or something and crowns.





Well that's only me trying to help, you don't need to actually take my advice but bye!
Reply:My daughter just turned 16 in November and we had a Red Carpet/Hollywood Themed Party. We had everyone that attended wear black and white because she wasnt sure what her dress would look like or what color so this way, no matter what color she had, no one else did. We even bought little awards and had voting ballots and gave out trophy's. The kids really had a great time with that and at the party. I think it was a nice way to include the boys too without it being so "girly".


I wish you luck on your planning and hope you have a happy birthday.

Reply:Okay, well, consider yourself lucky, I didn't have a big sweet 16 bash, but I hope to for my daughter.


I think that something in red would be very beautiful and very classy... maybe you could try a Masquerade theme, have the guest dress in ballgowns and tux's (or Suits) and use masks. Or just do a high glamour party where you can where ANY red dress... like you are all socialites like paris hilton or something. Have a good time... and here is a link for more ideas... I like the Alice in Wonderland or the Vegas one myself.
