A 16th Birthday Party - The Event of the Year

By
Real Estate Agent with SHAHAR Management

Last week we attended a 16th birthday party for the child of one of our dearest friends.  When we arrived (as we were a little late) it was the "cocktail hour" for the teens and the adults. We knew then it was going to be a big event. 

The family and birthday girl were getting their pictures taken.  Once that was done we entered the ballroom and took our seats. The DJ started the music and the teens hit the floor!  It was like being at a wedding.  We all had a wonderful time as did the teens.  Since our daughter is much older I was wondering if this is more common practice now for the teens when they turn 16?  Some of them had surprises prepared with speeches and one even sang as a surprise.  It was a very touching event.  We were so happy to have been there!

Debbie, I'm sure it was a lot of fun.  I'm trying to remember my 16th birthday and coming up blank...I guess it wasn't that memorable!

Debra one of my best friends had a similar party for his daughter last year.  It felt like a wedding, but what impressed me was how all the teens who were there got the place rocking.

Not a lot like the parties when I was a kid and the guys on one side and the girls on the other and everyone chuckling and wondering who would be first to crsoss the line

That does sound like a wedding.  It's been a while since I've been to one as well.  - Debbie

Hi Debra...what a great, fun sweet 16 event and how fun that you could be there for your friends and their not so young lady.  Hope you got to do the electric slide...looks like it.

How fun, Debra!! In the hispanic culture here in California Quinceaneras are a popular way to celebrate a girl's 15th birthday. I guess the Sweet Sixteen party is still in vogue, too.
