Answer 1

Well you have a color theme...but not a total theme. Is it a dance...a dinner...you need something to tell your guests what to expect. A 50's theme would go great with these colors....records on the walls, poodle skirts, etc. and 50's music and have your guests dress accordingly.

Since you already have an outfit...what goes with it? is this a sophisticated dinner party? What will you do?

You could have a mystery dinner. Get some ideas from the party shop. or a mystery cruise...then decorate for it....
Did you have a reason for picking pink and black...sounds like the forties...decco, etc. Pick a theme to work around...not just the colors. Before you make the invitations ask:

Are we sitting down for dinner? Going out? How will we serve it? Find plates, etc. to match your colors...(I often go to the $ store....get plates, napkins, forks and knives, etc. all to match). Plan a centerpiece for the serving table....or one for each eating table....How are you cooking the food?....Is it a barbeque....all this determines what you will serve....

I have had mystery dinners...with a script for the mystery and a way for the guests to guess who did the crime....crazy dinners where the food was served all mixed up....a time theme dinner like the 50's, 40's, 20's , etc. A backwards party, a shipwreck party...or an Hawaiian Luau...what fits what you want to do. Think it through step by step.

Decide the total theme...how the guest will take part...how they will dress, etc. The music...the food...how you will serve it...how you will all eat....it is your job to make your guest as comfortable as possible, and to all have a good time.

I will suggest the 50's theme because of your colors. You could also have a masked ball if you want everyone to dress up...would make a special 16th birthday party. Serve buffet for the easiest...tell them what to wear....plan some fun games...a treasure hunt, etc. that gets everyone involved.

I like http://www.orientaltrading.com/ for cheap party supplies. I have also used www.thepartyworks.com
For planning ideas I always start with www.foodnetwork.com they have a holidays/parties section - you choose the theme and they give you all of the recipes and I think even a shopping list.
I have used www.party411.com and iparty.com to plan parties.
And finally you can get creative and use microsoft.com's templetes and make your own invites.
Hope this helps!
Happy Sweet Sixteen!!!
