Music Theme Party Ideas. Sweet 16 Party Planning.

Everyone says that the best parties are the ones that everyone dances at. No matter the genre or the era, music theme parties are the hottest theme parties around. So why not use music as your Sweet 16 theme?

Your musical Sweet 16 party will get off to a great start with a personalized music invitation. From the Roaring 20's to Hip Hop, there is an invitation for every musical theme. You can also go with a more traditional Sweet 16 invitation, and hint at the music theme in your wording.

Backstage pass invitations are perfect for any music themed Sweet 16. You get to use your own wording, and choose from over seven designs. You can even get them laminated with a black lanyard, so your guests can wear them to the big event! We will also include a white padded envelope to mail these special passes!

If you want a completely unique invitation go with a personalized caricature invitation from Creations for You. These fabulous invitations are works of art to be treasured long after the party is over. And the caricature can be used again for your sign in board, centerpieces, even thank you notes. Semi-custom caricature invitations are another fantastic choice. Using art that has already been drawn, we can add a photo face or a caricature face and customize the message for you!

Depending on the musical theme you choose, your decorations will be different. Take some time to look at the themes below and you�ll find each one has it�s charms. Have you always loved Pac-Man, Blondie and neon colors? Go with the 80's theme. Do you have a passion for pearls and feather boas? The Roaring 20's theme is for you. Is Elvis your homeboy? 50's rock and roll here we come! The good news is you have lots of options:

Whichever theme you choose, keep two things in mind. First, make sure you have enough room to dance at your venue. If your having the party at home, (and you don't have a dance floor) be sure to clear some space in the house. Secondly, encourage your guests to dress for the theme. Once people are in �costume� you�ll find that inhibitions disappear and they are more willing to get out on the dance floor. We have recommended some wearables for every theme, so hand them out. Add some made for the dance floor decorations like glow jewelry or a mirror ball and the mood is set. Just click on your theme to see all of the fun options:

Music Themed Table decorations and party supplies

Decorate your tables with music themed paper goods. If you are having a seated dinner, make fun seating cards by attaching a hangtag seating card to an inflatable microphone. Set each place with bottle of water with a personalized bottle label on it. Make silverware bundles by wrapping plastic silverware in napkins and using something fun and unexpected as a napkin ring:

Balloon bouquets made up of colorful latex balloons and a music note Mylar balloon are the perfect centerpieces. Scatter decade appropriate wrapped candy on the table top. Pop Rocks were huge in the 80's, and Smarties were a 50's favorite. Your local candy store should carry a variety of decade themed candy.

Most of the activity at your party will take place on the dance floor. Beside dancing the night away, consider have a karaoke or lip-syncing contest, a dance off, or even an air guitar contest. Hand out iTunes gift cards as prizes!
