Sweet Sixteen Party Have You Broke? Cut Corners With These Tips!

Cut costs for your sweet sixteen party with these tips!

Cut costs for your sweet sixteen party with these tips!

Having a sweet sixteen party is not cheap! We know that a lot of time, money and effort go into planning the most memorable 16th birthday party. Why not cut some corners and costs with these tips from DressProm.net? You can get the best bang for your buck while still having the time of your life!

  • Try making your own decorations instead of buying them. There are plenty of blogs, as well as Pinterest boards dedicated to making your own party decorations! Plus, they’ll be exactly what you want and adorably homemade!
  • Instead of doing a large dinner for the guests of your sweet sixteen parties, try doing small finger foods instead! Your guests can snack throughout the whole party and you will save money by not paying for a huge meal.
  • Try having your party in a large space, such as an empty barn, a church hall, or a picnic grove, instead of the pricey banquet halls. Many private organizations like churches or other halls allow you to rent the space for a small cost or donation to the organization.
  • Keep your guest list to a 100-person maximum. If you have a larger group of friends or a huge family, it can be difficult to keep a cap on the number of people to invite. Try to narrow down your group of friends to the people you will think would attend and add them to guest list first.
  • Instead of hiring a DJ for your big bash, use your computer! Hooking up your computer or music player to a set of speakers isn’t difficult at all and you get to control the playlist! This works out even better, as far as what music you’d like to be played, and cuts the cost of renting a DJ for the night!

Perfect Pageant Playlist: Sharing Your Talent

May 31, 2013

You can dance, act and sing. You’re a triple threat! But this pageant, you want to belt out your favorite tune for the talent portion. Golden vocal chords can only really be appreciated if they’re singing the right song. Like any talent competition, the winner not only had a great singing ability, but they chose the right song. Being able to pull off some of these songs will lock in the talent portion of the pageant.

  1. Mariah Carey – My All
  2. Kelly Clarkson – A Moment Like This
  3. Judy Garland – Somewhere Over the RainbowTalent-Pageant-Gown
  4. Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On
  5. Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You
  6. Aerosmith – I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing
  7. Diana Ross & Lionel Richie – Endless Love
  8. Tina Turner – What’s Love Got To Do With It
  9. K-Ci and JoJo – All My Life
  10. Paul McCartney – Maybe I’m Amazed
  11. Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time
  12. LeAnn Rimes – How Do I Live
  13. Colbie Caillet – I Do
  14. Carrie Underwood – I’ll Stand By You

Don’t forget about the classics either! A good performance of a show tune can take you a long way, too. Learning a song from Annie or Guys and Dolls might just be the right decision. So remember when you’re on stage in your beautiful pageant evening gown, keep your head up and sing the song that is right for you!

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Fingernail clippers

  • Nail Buff
  • Cuticle stick
  • Cuticle trimmer
  • Vaseline
  • Lotion
  • Coconut Oil
  • Sugar
  • Nail Polish (top coat, base coat, and the color of your choice)
  1. Start by trimming your nails to manageable length.
  2. Next, file the edges of your nails so they are smooth.
  3. Buff the tops of your nails to get out any ridges, which will make it easier to paint.
  4. Next, soak your nails in warm water for five minutes. After you’re done soaking, clean them off with a nail brush and soap.
  5. After you’ve cleaned and dried your nails, apply a small amount of Vaseline to your cuticles. This will help soften them.
  6. Next, push your cuticles back with your cuticle stick then trim them with the cuticle trimmer. Make sure not to get too close to the skin on your finger.
  7. After you’re done trimming your cuticles, combine the coconut oil and sugar in a bowl and rub it on your hands to exfoliate.
  8. Wash the coconut oil/sugar mixture off, and then apply a generous amount of lotion to your hands.
  9. After you’ve rubbed the lotion in, apply the base coat to your nails.
  10. Once the base coat has dried, apply two coats of your favorite nail polish. Let sit until dry.
  11. Lastly, add the top coat. This will seal in your color and protect your manicure!
