Sweet 16 Invitations

• Think outside the box. Invitations don't have to be in the traditional form of cards in envelopes. Record the invitation and burn it on a CD or DVD. Sing, make it a play, or recite it as a poem. There are so many silly and funny ways to let everyone know about the big day. (This is only cool if the teenager the party is for does the performance. A parent putting on the performance will mortally embarrass the poor teen.)
• Consider alternatives to cardstock if you still want a written invitation. Why not write all the details on a balloon or using icing to write them on a cookie instead of filling out a piece of paper?
• Make the invitation all about the presentation. Deliver an invitation card that has been tucked into a small, glamorous purse or tied to a junk jewelry bangle.
