My daughter is 15. In the past 2 years she has gone to about 12 Sweet 16 parties. These parties are like mini weddings!!! Rented halls or Country clubs, Djs or bands, Limos to the party.... :bangahead01: Of course she needs a new dress and shoes for each party... "ad... I cant wear the same dress to 2 parties :bangahead01: Cards for each birthday girl with a check of course. Putting me in the poor house! When I was a kid.... You had a party at your house! Friends and relatives come over, you have some food, some cake, some drinks, sing Happy birthday the everyone leaves. Kids these days....
