A teen milestone celebration - whether it be a Sweet 16 party, prom, Quinceanera or graduation party - is a special time in any teen's life and a celebration of their accomplishments as they near adulthood.

Just be sure to involve your teen in all aspects of party planning. Working closely with teens to organize their special party can be a teachable moment for them as they learn about all the details it takes to pull off a successful celebration.

Parents can help make any teen party a blast with a little planning - to leave enough time to arrange the guest list, discuss a favorite theme, to pick a date and a location, and send out the invitations.

The easiest way to go (although harder on your budget) would be pick a venue that takes care of everything - from decorating, overseeing all the party activities, coordinating with vendors such as djs, bands, entertainers, flowers and photographers - to provide a complete party package and stress-free celebration with all the trimmings.

Taking your birthday party on the road is as simple as asking neighbors for recommendations in your area, searching the Web (see below) or looking in your local yellow pages for a list of professional party locations.

While most venues in New Mexico are located in and around Albuquerque, Santa Fe and other larger cities, don't overlook other venues in smaller communities such as party places in neighborhood associations or organizations, or even local volunteer firehouses that may offer their neighbors rooms for free where you may hold your celebration. Local clubs or community centers that your teen belongs should also be on the list as you brainstorm ideas for party venues on a budget.

When you're ready to send out the invitations, cut costs further by having your teen announce the date, time and location via a 'cool' e-invite Web site. This method is not only considered way 'cool' by many teens. It's absolutely free!

Once everyone's invited all parents have to do is sit back, relax, and look forward to a fun, stress free gathering that kids AND grown-ups can both enjoy. Have fun!
