On the invite we said black white semi formal attire. The birthday girl is going to wear a red gown with white gloves and be escorted for her grand entrance by her boyfriend in a white tux with red vest, etc. There is going to be a red carpet that you get cheap at party sites.

I made my own favor tags using a business card program that most computers have in microsoft works, etc. I went to google images and downloaded pictures of the hollywood hills, movie cameras and a hollywood walk of fame and then inserted that pic in the corner of the business card and then put thanks for coming to Jane's Sweet 16! and printed them off on cheap plain white cardstock. I used a paper punch to put a hole in the corner and attached these to the favor bags :

Make another one t he same but use candy sticks instead like cherry, lime, etc. You can attach bows to each one with a favor card that says your initial, 16 or thanks for coming to my sweet 16 and then after the party give them out as favors. Get personalized M and Ms to put in small favor bags. Get personalized hershey bar wrappers and little personalized stickers that go on the bottom of hershey's kisses. Buy plate size styrofoam 3 inch thick rounds and wrap in clear cellophane for a big hard candy decorations. you could put a wood dowel in one to make it a sucker. Play twister.
