Sweet 16 help!!?

Question

ok well me && my mom will be making the invitations by our selves cuz its cheaper! its a black and white theme where everyone wears black && white && i wear bright purple && the special ppl who are sittin at my table [boyfriend,2bestfriends,parents,younger brother] are wearing very very pale purple. anyways... this is our idea for invites.

its a flat invitation not a folded one.

we're gonna buy black hard paper.

print the information on regular printer

paper with purple writing. then glue that

on the black paper and glue white star cutouts on the black paper and pur purple glitter over the stars . is that good? what font should it be in?

also... where can i find a bright purple knee length dress that is kinda puffy , not too much but to wear it looks kinda fancy!

Answer 1

Sounds.. Um.. fine?

Personally, I think your putting too much money into sweet 16.. theres nothing that special about turning 16... Plus whatever happened to the old days of sleep overs with friends and doing stupid things with them... God I feel old.

Answer 2

wow:)

sounds really cute!

i did almost the same thing.

everyone wore black & white

but me & my table (3 besties, boyfriend,

mom, dad, & sister) wore dark red.

it looked really good.

& good invite idea.

i did the black hard paper

printed out the white but

put black letters on it...

& at the top but a red bow.

it looked really good.

anyways heres some font ideas:

GulimChe

Roman

MS Mincho

Mistral (this was my heading font)

Century Gothic

BatangChe (my font)

anyways, haha i was amazed at how similar

our parties are.

lol i just turned 16. :D

by the way hey, im sonia.:)

Answer 3

i totally dont agree with l k, except for the not having your family @ the same table thing. for my sweet 16 im having a court no matching outfits but theyre only gonna b my friends. As 4 the invites they sound awesome, and the fact tht ur making them is a really nice thing to do. i dont even think i could make mine and im a prettry artsy person, but i should try lol. i found a couple of dresses 4 you heres the links:

Good font ideas are: lucida handwriting, french script. Some more fun fonts are: subway, calligrapher, orlando, storybook, signboard, tubular

Answer 4

I think the invitations are fabulous and creative. the clothes is fine...I assume your favorite color is purple but perhaps you can let ur bf and brother wear blue, becuase most guys don't wear purple.....pink but not purple. other than that it seems you have everything under control .Have fun!=]

Answer 5

OMG! That sounds so good. My sweet 16 wasn't that fancy. I think that doing the invites yourself is real cool and saving you tons of money! Font can be in any fancy one you want, may i suggest, Monotype Corsiva, it's not cursive but it look fancy. As for the dress, if you want something not too expensive Macy's is always cute, or JcPenny. Hope you Sweet 16 is fun. Happy 16th! The theme is great, i love b&w theme [black and white]. So that you and your VIPs are the stars at the party, mostly you because of that bright purple.

Answer 6

wow that sounds waaaaay over the top. i personally wouldnt want my parents and my brother sitting at the same table as me. i think i had a couple friends over for a sleepover or something for my sweet sixteen. i dont even remember. matching colored outfits kinda seems like a waste of money to me. are you not going to let people in if they dont wear black or white???

anyways, a scripty font would look nice and i would check out some departments stores for deals on a dress. you might be able to get a cheap prom dress on clearance

edit: i didnt say matching outfits. i said "matching colored outfits". i just think its tacky.

Answer 7

You're not over the top at all, this sounds like the perfect color scheme.

You can check online at Nordstroms or Macy's. Im getting my Sweet 16 dress from Nordstroms. ;)

I hope you have a great 16th!
