Choosing the right venue for an unforgettable Sweet 16 party is very important. The venue not only sets the stage for the type of party vibe you are trying to create, it also establishes the tone for the entire of the event.

As you are planning your Sweet 16 party, there are a few things to consider when you are choosing the venue:

• Do you want the event to be indoor or outdoor, or maybe even a combination of both?
• What time of year is the event? This will help determine if it should be indoor or outdoor.
• How many guests will you be inviting? You will need a space that comfortably accommodates all of your guests.
• What time of day will you be having your event? This may impact the theme of the party; for example, if you wanted a club-like dance party, evening may be best. If in the evening do you want the sunset to be visible?
• How formal do you want the party to be?
• What is the theme?
• Will you be serving sit down dinner, buffet style dinner or just appetizers and desserts?
• What type of entertainment are you looking to provide? A DJ? Live band?

• Black & white theme – this can set the tone for an elegant yet modern party. You can ask all the guests to wear black and white.
• Black, white & hot pink theme: this screams fun! You can ask all the guests to wear black or white and have the birthday girl wear hot pink, so she stands out in the crowd.
• Rose gold theme – rose gold is totally on trend right now and offers a chic, girly feel.
• Oscars/red carpet theme – this would be great for the girl who would love a glamorous night of getting dressed up and walking down the red carpet.
