Answer 1

Good thing you are planning ahead. I'm on the same budget you are for my sweet 16 and the most thing that helped me was research. I found great places to have my party that hold up to 400 people, and it's 300 a night and the place is gorgeous. It's not true you need half a million dollars to throw an extravagant. The person above me covered pretty much everything. These sites should REALLY help you and cover everything you need to know.

First of all, quit watching that ridiculous show on MTV about Sweet Sixteen parties! Those will make you feel awful and can take away from what this special year will mean to you. Since you have your budget, try planning it around the $600 mark and then if you need more money, you'll have some left.
Here are some things to consider:

1. Where are you having it?
2. How many people are you inviting?
3. Do you want a DJ, live music, or someone special to entertain the guests?
4. What's your theme?
5. How do you want people to feel when they're there and what do you want them to remember the very most?
6. Work with your parents or caregivers about every detail, since they have veto power on ideas and budget.
7. Remember: Less is More, and even if you don't get the car of your dreams, the entertainer to die for, etc., your special day is still going to be something to remember for the rest of your life.
8. Be practical. You can entertain more lavishly if you have fewer guests.
9. Decorations can be made by you and your buddies and should include twinkling white mini lights, lots of greenery, flowers, and balloons in your favorite colors.
10. Decide how long the party is to last, like between 8 and midnight etc.
11. You might get a birthday committee together of your closest friends and family to help you with planning and decisions.
12. Check out how much a tent would cost, as well as a dance floor, etc.
13. Food should be of the finger variety, such as appetizers and mock cocktails. If you have the money for a sit down dinner, then pasta might be a good alternative.
14. Most of all, have fun! Its your special day and you shouldn't be stressed about whether it will be the social event of the century.
