Choose a Sweet Sixteen party theme. Before picking the invitation phrasing, have a theme set for the party. Themes could include the color pink, animal prints, or pearls and diamonds. Once you set the party's theme, you can then base the phrasing around it. For example, if the party's theme is "Pretty in Pink," you can use phrases such as "You are Cordially Invited to Amanda's Pretty in Pink Sweet Sixteen Party. ... Please Come Dressed in Pink."

Choose the day, time and location of the Sweet Sixteen party. You can then incorporate this information into the invitation phrasing. For example, if the party is at 1 pm, you can use that to rhyme with another word such as "fun": "Please join us at one, Amanda's party is sure to be fun!"
