I needed some fresh ideas for my daughters sixteenth birthday party. I was told by my friend that a good place for accessories was online where she got the supplies for her daughters party. So, I figured I’d see what they have. I was really surprised at what super favors and table decorations they had. I found a lot of nice stuff I can use for her party. There were cookie cutters I used to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 for her guests.
Before making any plans, I got her opinion on what she wanted for her party, and it was a party at the roller rink with all the girls sleeping over. I then made reservations at the roller rink in town. I sent all of her girl friends special party invitations. It was a lot cheaper than I figured it would be. Refreshments, pizza and hot dogs were also part of the package, and didn’t cost very much at all. At home I had everything set up for the party to continue. I put out the cookies I had made, along with a few other snacks, and set up birthday decorations.
I ordered more than the cookie cutters when I went shopping online. Since I saved money on the roller rink deal, I decided it would be nice to get the girls a few sweet sixteen favors. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. They all knew about the cameras, so they could take pictures at the roller rink, but they had no clue about the albums I bought for them. They all took a few pictures at the rink and wanted to save some film for the slumber party they were having afterwards.
One of the favors was a cosmetic bag that had each girls initial on the front button. With the cosmetic bags I bought manicure sets and little purse mirrors to go with it. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. We left the rink and went home to have her sweet sixteen idea and watch her open her presents. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, girlie teen movies for them to watch, so they were good to go for the evening. They turned on some of their music and danced around for a while, then they took out their manicure sets and started to work on nails, and give make overs to each other. They were having a lot of fun together.
After they tired themselves out, they decided to put on a movie and grab the popcorn. I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible and just let them have a good time, but they asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with them. That was such a nice thing to ask me to join them. They were able to watch two of the movies we rented before eyes started closing. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. Just before she closed her eyes, she let me know how much she appreciated her super birthday party.
The next morning the girls were up before I was and had already had their breakfast and cleaned up from last nights festivities. It was really sweet of the girls to do that. Most of the girls went home after a couple hours of hanging out with my daughter. As they were leaving, the girls thanked me for the wonderful time they had and all of the sweet sixteen party favors I bought for them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?
