Twignut is turning 16 in a couple of months.
So we are giving her a Sweet 16 Party.

Want to make this real special (no not a male stripper) for her. She is a really good kid. Have any good ideas?


thanks

So that means you can't go there and enjoy Fire Island? When I lived on Long Island, Fire Island was a great beach to go to. It was "gay" then, too.

Maple, I would ask her friends what would be considered a great party. Can you trust any of them to keep a secret?

If its just the family, how about catchin' a play, evening ice skating, carriage ride in CP/ NYC or something maybe catch the Letterman show or something.

Have a "Hang your panties on the wall" party....no wait, that's a college party...


Maple, such an occasion comes only once...spend some cash and rent a limousine and take her and a couple of her best friends to dinner at a nice restaurant and let her decide where else they want to go in the limo.

Even if you have a big party get the limo and let her and her friends go joy riding in it...it'll be a blast.

mapleleaf.. you girls are always on a ghost hunt! you should check out this site, this group is always popular here around halloween Ghost Hunters

And as far as birthday party ideas, I think Dub made a good suggestion with the limo ride. A 16 year old girl would love that!
Miss Opie

Yeah, I second...hmm, third (?) that... a limo ride is a terrific idea. I am sure every 16 year old would love a ride in a limo.
Gemini

The limo would be a good idea, except that, with the trees' luck with cars, it would probably get towed, and they'd spend the rest of the night trying to get the thing out of impound. But, hey, that could be "fun," right?

BTW, I rented a limo for my wife's 40th birthday. We had the guy show up pretty early to make sure we would make it to SF for our dinner reservations. When we got there way too early, we just told him to drive around for a while, which was a lot of fun with everyone staring at us. Then when we got out of the limo at the restaurant, everyone thought we were somebody famous or something. Lots of fun, really!

Elementary school in a really small town had a limo ride as a top prize for one of those sale things schools are always doing. The top three sellers got a ride around town for about 30 minutes - they were mondo impressed. So was the guy at Wendy's when they had him go through the drive through for Frostys.

LOL - limo would be a lot of fun for them.

Dag BB, I feel for ya!!! I lost a bet several weeks ago annnnnnd let me tell ya, I have never sweated so much. Its worse than a running a marathon. ENJOY!!! suckher.

Any respectable man should keep that nethermost front region a tad tidy. Try it, she'll like it. I garrrrruuuuntee!

Sorry SugarMaple, I'm digging the limo ride, been to the slopes in awhile? Hot coco and tubbing. Have you looked into laser tag? Oldies vs. youngins.

Miss Opie, what a cool site. they even arrange for UPCOMING GHOST HUNT SCHEDULES...

no maple, i've never been on a north alabama ghost hunt trip. the radio show i listen to in the mornings do ghost hunts with them around halloween. they go on 13 trips before halloween night. i find it amusing because half the trips they go on i don't see the things they say is haunting. there are some scary pictures on the website however and i believe the scariest thing on there is a sound clip of an old school where they recorded this little boy saying "let me out of here"

My favorite scary place to go to is an abondoned mental instution in the town where I went to college. Rumors were back in the 60's they were cruel to the patients and were forced to relocate. They left everything behind! The hospital has not been used since the 60s and there are still beds, old wheel chairs, patients paperwork, cards to the patients, all kinds of things just lying around. Its really scary!

Maple -- the limo and concert tickets. Is there any way to chaperone without getting in the limo. I think so. OMG you'd be so cool.

Other notes: BR and skiracer - your romantic side is showing. Nice

BB - your bare a$$ so smooth and white is showing.

My cousin is about to celebrate her 5th birthday and she and two of her friends are going to Parisians for a makeover. After the makeover they are going out to dinner. I don't remember wanting to do anything like that at 5!
