Do a pot luck. Make the decorations yourself. If there are grandkids, have them make signs for her. Make a board with pictures from her life. Keep the amount of people down to a small number of really close friends. Make the cake yourself. Have people take turn recounting a favorite memory of your mom.
Sentimental instead of lavish is always better!
Good luck :)

Well you could have it at someone's house if big enough, when sending out invitations- you could save money by making them on the computer and just buying the paper. But you can find some at Target for really cheap, yes when sending out the invitations ask everyone to bring one dish, you provide a dish and drinks. You can go to the dolloar store and buy decorations and then spend a little more money on ballons and then just purchase a cake. You should have money left over to do something extra if you like. Good luck

Well, first you have to decide how big you want the party to be and what number of guests will be invited.
Second, if you make it a potluck, you will save tons of money. Make a sign-up sheet, and have guests bring everything from paper plates, to dessert, and decorations!
See how much it would cost to make a video of her childhood pictures, to where she is now, and add a nice song to it. Maybe a friend with computer/video knowledge could do that for you.
Then you'll know if $200 will be enough or not.
Hope that's helped you out a bit! ;o)

That's penty of money for a good party for your Mom.
Use your money for invitations, decorations,beverages and a cake.You can get all of your decorations at a party store for really good prices.
In your invitations state that the party is a pitch in, and ask her friends and family to RSVP with what they would like to bring.
People in your Moms age group can whip up all kinds of good ideas and recipes for a party, and will be thrilled to help since you are doing something so nice for your mom.
Just simple keep track of what everyone is bringing and your menu will fall together in no time.
P.S. you should probably state on the invitations somehow that guest are still welcome if they can't pitch in, but you would sure appreciate the participation.

the actual incontrovertible reality that you're taking such time to devise this i imagine is incredibly cool and your daughter will savour that more desirable than any present. yet so a options as that topic is going, i'd favor to get one top notch present from my moms and dads-something i extremely wanted and then my acquaintances would supply me each of the smaller presents in the experience that they chosen to attain this. It relies upon on no matter in the experience that your daughter is extra of an introvert or extrovert. i in my opinion am extra of an introvert so if someone became throwing me a social gathering, i need it to be extra own with unlike, a gazillion human beings there. it could be amazing in case you would possibly want to lease a cheap rec/community middle and performance a very cool dance with for sure all her well known music and a second in the course of the nighttime to honor her and probably actually have a fantastic fantastic outfit waiting for her to grow to be even as she were given there. And 16 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds nevertheless love having close eye activities so having all her closest acquaintances over for the nighttime and performance the position good decorated with per chance some cool activities waiting for them in the experience that they wanted. The contained in the morning breakfast for each individual even as they the residing room will be fantastic and in view that she is 16 I guess she would favor to in straight forward words pass out including her acquaintances so per chance supply her some greenbacks and if she would not pressure then furnish to take her and her acquaintances everywhere they favor. Or as yet another present theory, if she is in contact in getting her license then you could make an appointment for her to pass write her try or tell her that you'll pay for it even as she is waiting and probably even commence a vehicle fund once you conform to grant a lot each month if she does certain issues...then this is like the present that not in any respect stops giving. i comprehend this is demanding to be resourceful in recent times, per chance her acquaintances would have some concepts too.

Ask family and friends to come and pitch in, bring a dish. That way it helps you out and hopefully, you can get a cake and a special gift for her. Don't spend a lot of money on invitations, make phone calls and tell others to pass it along. Good luck.

Do a pot luck party and have others bring dishes to compliment the main course that you provide. But keep it simple, the main theme should be your Mom. Make a scrap book and ask family and friends to bring photos to add and share. We did it for my mother in laws 80th and it was great. We also had pages for people to sign and share memories and she treasures it.
