Sweet 16 - Princess Theme Party
by: Domini

It's your Sweet 16 and it's time to party like the princess you know you are! The right Sweet 16 decorations and party supplies will turn your venue into a gorgeous fantasy. You can also add in lots of personal touches that will make your Sweet 16 Princess Party unique!

INVITATIONS:
Hand deliver invitations to your closest friends along with a special light up tiara for them to wear to the party; that way everyone will know they are in your "royal court"!

YOUR ENTRANCE:
If you are making your entrance through a doorway, make it special with beautiful decorations. Hang a silver shimmer column on each side of the doorway. Have pink balloon bouquets or a balloon arch at the door as well. Pick a favorite song to be playing when you enter, and make sure to wave and smile!

DECORATIONS:
Fill the room with pink balloons. Tie them in bouquets and place them in corners, on tables, and near major points of interest (your table, the buffet, the DJ and dance floor). If your ceiling will allow it, fill even more balloons with helium and let them float over the dance floor. Hang a personalized princess banner over the DJ or the buffet. Use white twinkle lights everywhere!

ACTIVITIES:
Put up a "castle" wall where people can leave messages—just a large piece of foam core will work (find at any art store) or if you're artistic, spray light gray and draw lines where stones would be. Provide markers so everyone can sign.

PARTY FAVORS - "THANKS FOR COMING":
Hand out a special party favor your friends will be talking about long after the sun goes down. Here are some fun ideas:

* Personalized Candy Bars - an unforgettable (and delicious) favor that every guest will love.
* Light Up Diamond Rings - every princess should have one (or two!)
* Wrist Streamers in multi-colors - there's nothing more fun on the dance floor!
* Personalized Sweet 16 Pen - personalized, useful, and cute, there is no better combination!
* There's nothing better than a party that glows! The #1 favorite party favor is glow jewelry.

HAVE FUN AT YOUR PRINCESS SWEET 16!!!!!!!!

 
Tween with Autism
by: NikkiCole

I am NikkiCole. I am 10yrs old (today!) and I am autistic. I really like the site and decided to share my story with you. I am like any other girl. I love video games, TV, games, fashion, music, dancing, and so much more. I am home schooled along with my brother who is also autistic, we like being home schooled since we can learn at our own pace. Some people take it for granted that they learn so easily. I have to work extra hard, and mom does the teaching! Some people don't understand that I am like everyone else; I want to have fun and have friends. My life is different with autism, since meeting people is not always easy. I have ideas, thoughts, and opinions about almost everything. I want to let people know that autism is not contagious; you will not get it from hanging out with me. I am just different since I don't understand things so easily like others do.

I would like to help others understand autism and what makes those of us with it, different and yet the same. My parents have to work harder for me to be like other girls. While they show and teach me things that are normal to you but not to me. (She also helped me write this, thanks mom!) I hope that you will want to hear my story and others who maybe here on this site. We are all unique, some more than others! I may be autistic, but never count me out. I am smart, funny, sweet, friendly, and love to learn. I get to be my mom's model for her photography. See, autism doesn't stop my life it just makes it challenging. Who doesn't love a challenge? With the right family and support it is all good. Maybe next time that you see someone who is little different, you don't feel sorry for us, but please try to understand us. We need little more time to do things, and someone to gently remind us about the world.
