Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time

As the matter of fact, with the good sweet 16 party favor not just that you, celebrant and guests are going to remember it for many decades to come, but also party itself is going to be a frozen moment in time – a little break during which you will summarize the celebrant’s childhood and early teenage and jump into the future. Also, the guest may leave with a small piece of non-meltable ice that will always make him/her remember that frozen moment in time!

Still, before choosing the favor, there are still certain things you should have in mind! Here are the most crucial:

• budget – when you are organizing any event, money is one of the most crucial elements. Still, if you are short on budget, don’t hesitate. There is plenty of DIY ideas that are budget-friendly and applicable even for a glamourous and formal party theme.
• number of invitees – think of the type of party your celebrant would like. If he/she prefers an intimate atmosphere, then pick the closest friends and relatives. Yet, if he/she is more into large parties, then be very careful about the list and try not to forget somebody.
• party theme – one of the key characteristics of the quality visual look of an event is harmony. Therefore, don’t ever choose sweet 16 party favors that oppose the theme or else you will have a total mess.
• time management – some sweet 16 party favors require time. On that account, when choosing a favor be aware of time that is necessary for it, especially if you are into DIY favors that require time to be made.
