This year, on February 13, I turned 16 years old. While I can't really understand the hype of this age, I still wanted my sixteenth birthday to be special. I held my birthday on February 17 in my family's recreation room with my close friends.
Nodding towards the title "Sweet Sixteen," I created a dessert bar, in addition to appetizers and pizza. For appetizers I made mini quiches, caprese bites, and ham and swiss rolls. Other goodies included Reeses, White Cheddar Cheez-Itz, Gardettos, frosted animal cookies, KitKats, Lindor truffles, Starbust, Dove chocolates, brownie bites, M & Ms, popcorn, and a Funfetti cake as the focal point.
For beverages, I filled two glass drink coolers with pour spouts with sparkling lemonade and homemade raspberry-pineapple punch. I also provided water in decanters. Guests could drink out of mason jars, in which sharpies were used to label the lids, and gold and white striped paper straws.
For decorations, I followed a color palette of blush pink, gold, and white. I went for a simple, rustic chic aesthetic because my venue had wood counters. There were gold star balloons on each chair, a chalkboard sign, tassel garlands, a photo string with pictures from my childhood, flowers in vases of various shapes and sizes, a white and brushed gold wooden C, and a photo wall complete with gold 1 and 6 balloons, a pink backdrop, and another white tassel banner where we took a multitude of Polaroid pictures.
Throughout the night, besides pigging out on snacks, we played Apples to Apples and Headbands. We also pampered our skin with black mud face masks.
Overall, it was an incredibly fun night and I am so thankful for all of my family and friends that made my sixteenth birthday amazing!
