Sweet 16th Birthday Party Ideas

The turning point for American boys and girls is the sweet 16th birthday. Other countries including Mexico celebrate a coming of age at 15. But the idea of being able to legally drive is the high point for all boys and girls in the US.

There are many great gift ideas to get a boy or girl turning 16 yeas old. The top of the list is a car of their very own. But that list is not limited to just a car in todays' technology age. A lot of young people want to have their own high powered computer system with cell phone and digital camera. Taking a trip would be the next exciting gift on the list. If money is not a option there are some over the top gift ideas. Rent a sports car to celebrate their drivers license or a hour flying lesson to really get their imagination to soar.

Having a party should be based on your teens personality. If they have a few select best friends than plan on a special adventure for all of them to go on together. Whitewater rafting or a overnight guided hiking trip would be a big hit. If your teen is a friend of the whole school consider renting a local water park for the day. Or have everyone pitch in and organize a day of working on planting trees and flower for your city. Then finish the day with a picnic and games at a local park. If cold weather is a issue than you can bring the party indoors at a ice skating rink or indoor sports arena.

A great way to start your sweet 16 boy or girls day off with a bang is to have a lawn greeting displayed. There are many exciting displays that will bring a happy memory to them for years to come. The display can also double as a announcement for the party later.
