Answer 3

love the color theme........and the idea of everyone coming in black and white and you in red is great........in keeping with the black and white colors...you could make up a "newspaper of sorts to hand out as people come in to the party......a "this is my life" sort of thing.....with mini articles on funny stories from baby, toddler years......to first day of school...first friends, first trip, first boyfriend etc etc...and make it funny!!! be creative with it......(of course the stories could be funny friend moments too...)

or for a great memory board you could decorate one wall with mural paper/posterboards....and have each guest, family member to bring one of their favorite pics of you or favorite stories of you(handwritten)...your favorite lyrics, favorite restaurant menu could be added, your cheerleading outfit, sports jersey...to make a collage of your 16th birthday...ask for creativity it will make a great memory years from now.....

other ideas for decorations....maybe some fancy lights(lantern style is beautiful), candles with some colored gems/stones)

for food:  buffet style would probably be best way to do it with that many people........you could do up a variety of salads, sandwiches, mix of hot and cold dishes, lasagna, pigs in a blanket, veggie platters, fruit slices with chocolate dip, chips with dip, cheese and crackers, or instead of making sandwiches you could have a variety of breads/buns with platters of various deli meats,
