Whether or not your 16 year old is "sweet" you can still have fun playing up the Sweet 16 theme... a Tea Party for a goth teenager could be hilarious fun for all!
Or maybe go the opposite direction and have a Paintball or Gocart party to appeal to your teen's adventurous side.
A Movie Party, Luau, or Fiesta are other fun ways to celebrate this special birthday. If your teen has a favorite activity, such as horseback riding, skating, or dancing, consider incorporating the activity as the destination or entertainment for the party.
