Book-Themed Sweet Sixteen Celebration

So y’all know I am always on the lookout for a great parties. And I especially like those thrown by real moms who live here. So when I spotted this amazing party thrown by a former classmate of mine (won’t tell you how long ago!) I knew I had to share it. There are a lot of things to love about this party. First of all, it’s a party for a teenager, which I feel like we don’t see enough of. Teenagers are fun! Their parties are fun! Why do little kids get all the best parties? I also love that this party was clearly for guests of all ages. You see cousins, family friends, regular friends, and little brothers are all hanging out and having fun together. That, in my opinion, is a special party.

I also happen to be a book lover myself and enjoyed all the special details that mom included in this party. There’s no close up, but she even wrapped her flower vases with sheets of print!

So, enough talking from me. Here are some pictures from this fun party with details below each.

Cinderella (I’m guessing on this one), Annabelle, and Heidi.
These two Jane Austen beauties sewed their own costumes!
Book trivia placed around the house.
Effie and Katniss Everdeen stand next to a collection of signs pointing the way to various literary destinations.
The food table was full of nods to famous books.
Charades drew a big crowd in the living room.
Ignatius Reilly showing off his charade skills.
Outside a bookworm race challenged everyone to work together!
A book balancing relay was apparently harder than it looks!
Back inside guests were encouraged to share their favorite titles and take a picture of the poster for reference.
Adorable gift bags went home with the guests.

I think you’ll agree this was one fun looking party. I’ll definitely be stealing a few ideas the next time I throw one! Great work Theresa and happy birthday C.C.!!!
