Coolest Winter Wonderland Sweet 16 Theme Party

In 2009 I made a sweet 16 themed party for my daughter. I made everything including invitations, table centerpieces, personalized party favor ornaments, hanging decorations etc. By being creative and doing everything ourselves i was able to stick to a budjet. I did a lot of research in the months prior to assist me with my creativity.

The paper snowflakes were so easy and they looked great as hanging decorations. You can use different colored paper,glitter for different varieties/effects of snowflakes. The party favors were personalized ornaments with the event, date,and my daughter name inside. Since the writing is on vellum (clear paper)it gives the illusion of it floating inside the snowglobe. Fake snow was added with glittered snowflake puched out of the same vellum for a confetti effect. They were tied with a ribbon and placed in a clear box for giving. The centerpieces i created were mini trees with ornaments on them.

The centerpieces were vases filled with fake snow and branches (from my backyard) spray painted with white glitter spray. Then i hung mini ornaments in our color choice theme we used and tie a large bow on the vase with wired ribbon to complete the look. The vases were placed on each table among a small round dish with snowflake floating candles that floated in water. It illuminate the tables nicely.

The invitations were printed in our color choice and tied with ribbon at the top. We also glued some of the glitter snowflakes that we used in the ornaments on the invitation to coordinate and match. My daughter invited a few crafty friends over to help us complete the task of making all the things listed above.

We had a great time and everyone went home with a party favor that can be hung on there xmas trees for years to come.

I just love to share my daughter sweet 16 theme party ideas here :-)
