Sweet Sixteen with Valentines Day.?

Question

So, My Parents say I can have a sweet sixteen, and we're renting a place to have it at. The date is set for Feb.18th and they thought it would be a nifty idea to have valentines day party along with my sweet sixteen. As they say, yes its after valentines day but the 18th falls on a Sunday where as valentines is during the week. A problem, what to do? What kinda of things would you do? Games? Types of Food? Formal, Semi-Formal, or just decent clothes? Anything. and since the place is right beside of our church, mother is not allowing any dancing. Music is fine but no dancing, so in turn I need games or activities or something to keep everyone entertained. Anyone have any Ideas. I need them Fast.
Thanks - Susie

Answer 1

I'd also recommend semi-formal. You didn't mention if this was going to be co-ed or not.
There a zillion sites for good party foods. Since it's a Valentine's day theme, I'd recommend you do a search for Valentine's Day recipes and then see what can be applied to parties, like appetizers and desserts.

There are tons of sites online where you can do searches for party games and ice breakers. Here are a few to get you started:

Have fun, I still remember my Sweet Sixteen party, it will be a memory you have forever! If you have any more questions, drop me an email. I used to organize parties as part of my job.

Answer 2

I like colored themed parties. Its cute when everyone is wearing the same colors. I thin the pink, red, and white idea is cute since it's close to Valentine's day. I would go with black for yourself or another color, blue would clash with the colors the other people are wearing. ♥
