What Is Fun to Do for Your Sweet 16th Birthday?
A girl's 16th birthday, also known as Sweet 16, is an important milestone in her life, marking the beginning of her adulthood. To commemorate her birthday, the girl and parents host a Sweet 16 party, where the girl invites her closest friends to participate in fun activities, such as dancing, singing and swimming.

Dancing

Most dance clubs allow only patrons 18 or 21 years of age, which limits the amount of clubs a 16-year-old may enter. However, you can host a dance party within the confines of your own home. Your parents have the chance to splurge by hiring a professional DJ to play music for the party. If a a professional DJ is not in the budget, your parents can ask a friend to do the DJ duties. Your parents can also rent a dance hall if your house is not large enough to host a dance party.
Karaoke
-
If the Sweet 16 birthday girl is not interested in hosting a dance party, music is still an entertainment option via karaoke machines. Karaoke machines play music and display lyrics on the television monitor, which allows you and your guests to sing your favorite songs. Karaoke machines are not expensive to purchase – ranging from $80 to $200 as of the date of this publication. Music stores rent out karaoke machines for party planners who do not want to buy one. Professional DJs also provide music services for karaoke parties.

Swimming
-
Sweet 16 birthday girls can host a swimming pool party. During the warm spring and summer months, outdoor pool parties can occur at your home if your parents own a pool or at a private club. If temperatures are too low for an outdoor party, most cities have hotels and public recreation centers with indoor swimming pools. A pool party presents the opportunity for playing pool games such as Marco Polo, Simon Says and Sharks (a variation of playing “tag”). When you rent a swimming pool, most clubs and recreation centers provide lifeguard services.
Slumber Party
-
Slumber parties allow you to invite your closest friends to spend the night at your house on your birthday. Sleeping is not one of the primary activities at a slumber party, so party hosts must plan to entertain guests all night long. Some activities at a slumber party are pillow fights, cooking and watching movies. You can also bring in a manicurist and pedicurist to give you and your guests makeovers. Party gift bags are a nice way of showing your appreciation for your guest's participation.
