Sweet Sixteen: How Much is Too Much?

For some people, a sweet 16 is just like any other birthday. Others, however, go all out for their 16th birthday. We’re talking:

 

The Venue: 5 Star Hotel

 

 

 

Fireworks

 

 

 

Celebrity DJ

 

 

 

Building a dance floor

 

 

Guest list with 100 of your closest friends

 

 

Wedding-level catering

 

 

Ten-tier cake

 

 

Designer dress and professional makeup

 

 

Optional: A fancy theme that requires getting decorations shipped from other countries

 

 

The bill

 

 

 

No but seriously, can we talk about this? We’ve witnessed quite a few extravagant sweet 16s, and frankly, they seem a bit unnecessary. There’s so many better things to spend that kind of money and effort on. We’re not saying don’t celebrate. By all means, have a party and have fun. We’re just saying, be mindful of what’s necessary, and what’s overdoing.
