Guide To Planning A Sweet 16 / Dress, Tips & Advice | LindseyLovesLife

[@Ena-qy3ik]

I’m going to have a sweet 16 next year but the thing is I haven’t had a party since I was 10 and I just realised I have no idea what to do. 😂

[@LindseyLovesLife]

Ooh ok, good your planning early ! Don’t worry, I didn’t know what to do either lol but you dance and talk with your friends and family !

[@ThatSoAmaya]

ME TOO! MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT WEEKEND

[@trinityshanice3393]

My Sweet 16 Party is Next year to and My Birthday is in May to.

[@ladislavawelton4389]

Now because I did it a year later since when you sent that happy birthday

[@ladislavawelton4389]

Your now (probably) 16

[@amayat748]

1. find a place, if it’s at a hall 5 months in advance!!! 2. find a theme! pinterest has good ideas. 3. look at pinterest/google for cake and food ideas. 4. decide who are you going to invite and how you are going to invite. send invitations 3 weeks before. and rsvp. count up to see how many seats, space, and food. 5. tell everyone your attire. 6.find what you’re going to wear! look for a dress look for a dress a couple months ahead. 7. look for food that you’re going to want. TIP: start early!!!

[@alishaaxxjasminee4299]

i have a question how many people like the max of people are we suppose to invite?

Can't wait for my sweet sixteen in October!! There's no theme but its going to be light pink with cocktail attire at a Sunday brunch a hotel. Nothing too expensive. Then I don't have to find and order food, which is easier. It's always nice to have this light drink time before (non alcoholic of course) just to get people together and talk. My cake is going to be like a simple chanel perfume, hat box kinda thing. This is just for tips as well. What do you think??

[@LindseyLovesLife]

Yay !! That sounds like an amazing party :) Happy early Birthday and I hope you have a great party !!

Happy Early Birthday to her. My Sweet Sixteen Birthday is September of this year. I'm starting to plan a little early myself.

[@Beth9228]

I never had a big sweet 16 party. I did celebrate with my grandparents and of course my mother. The next day with my father, sister, and again with my mother. I went to the movies with my sister the day after my birthday. This was the 80’s and it wasn’t a big deal back then. I always liked to go to a movie on my birthday. Not last year because of the COVID-19.

[@jamlane]

Getting ready for my daughter's party. Thanks for posting this video. Good job.

[@aryanaalinnear]

Happy birthday to her

[@get2liz]

It’s so adorable with her saying to send invites 3 or 2 weeks before to “give people TIME”😅❤ Precious innocence all throughout this video. I enjoyed watching

You have beautiful skin for a 16 year old my sweet 16 is in 5 years and I already have acne

[@heyheyhalaylay]

hey guys i’m 15 having my sweet next year, i’ve started planning but i’m just confused on what you do at a 16?? like activities because i’m very antisocial and the thought of dancing in front of people scares me. so what are other activities what ppl usually do to keep busy aside from that?

[@Octopus._]

literally like what activities are u supposed to do...

[@hannahasty5864]

I have about 10 months until my 16th birthday. I'm really stressed cause I want it to be bigger than my normal birthday parties but my family doesn't have alot of money and it's hard to compromise when I've been looking forward to this for years. Urr idk what to do.

[@LindseyLovesLife]

Don't worry everything will work out, I'm sure your birthday party will be great ! Just remember that it's to spend time with your friends and family :)

I’m 15 and turning 16 soon. I have never had a birthday party before and I know I’m not getting one. My mom would never do anything special like this for me. My birthdays are like any other day. I’m hoping my mom does something for my birthday because I really don’t get anything.I wish I could plan a birthday party but I homeschool and have no friends. Even if I had friends my mom would never let me have a party. This video is almost making me cry because I know I will never get something special like this. My birthday is in a couple months and I can’t wait to see if my mom will even do anything for me.
