If your daughter is a woman of faith, then you might want to throw her a Sweet Sixteen birthday party that incorporates her beliefs.

The only differences are in the religious undertones--which can be reflected in the cake, music and favors for guests. Does this Spark an idea?

      Set the tone and theme of a religious Sweet Sixteen party with a customized invitation. You can hint to the birthday girl's in either the wording or the graphics of the invitation. For example, your invitation may include a Bible, Torah or Koran verse.

      Order customized sweets that reflect the birthday girl's faith. For example, a customized birthday cake could be designed in the shape of a princess crown to remind a Christian or Jewish birthday girl that she is God's treasure. Custom cupcakes for a Christian birthday girl can be topped with candy jewels to reflect Proverbs 31:10-31, which describes a godly woman, wife and mother who is worth "far more than rubies."

      Select religious pop and rap music to be played in the background of the Sweet Sixteen. If you have a playlist of contemporary religious music that you can play on a hand-held music player hooked to speakers or if you have compilation CD, then you can use this continuous music for dancing later during the party.

      Reserve part of the party for a craft time appropriate for sixteen-year-old girls. An ideal craft may be to buy colorful beads, crosses, Star of Davids, hearts, necklace wire, and other jewelry materials to make necklaces or bracelets. The girls will have a piece of jewelery that they can wear after the party.

      Interview guests as they enter the party with a video camera. Ask them what they love about the birthday girl and why they admire her faith. Play the video at some point during the party. The messages will be an encouragement to the birthday girl as she celebrates this milestone birthday.
