Even if you not planning a celebration like those seen on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 - a 16th birthday party should be something out of the ordinary.

While most families don't have the budget for expensive formal wear, jewelry (or to give a red Porsche as a birthday gift!), a little more time planning and arranging for friends and family to acknowledge your own "super" Sweet 16 celebrant is well worth the time and effort.

Tailor the big party to your teen's sense of style. Some may like the usual hoopla that surrounds a milestone birthday, graduation bar mitzvah or Sweet 16. Others prefer a quieter celebration or opt for a more practical gift, like a downpayment on their first car or contributions to their college fund!

No matter what the size of your celebration, planning ahead is key to avoid any unpleasant surprises on party day. Months ahead of time, start scouting the area for restaurants, country clubs, party halls or even hotels that may be within budget depending on the size of your guest list. Once you have priorities set, be willing to compromise with your teen on such trade-offs as a fancier party with fewer guests as compared to a run-of-the-mill party for a larger crowd.

Look for other ways to cut costs, such hiring a party hall and supplying the food and decorations, or printing out invitations yourself online. The ideal venue, of course, would be one that offers a complete and affordable party package where the cleanup is left for someone else! As ever, it's always wise to shop around to find the best party at the best price for a fun, memorable and stress-free party for you and your favorite teen.
