Sweet 16 birthday parties typically mark a special time in a girl's life. For a 16-year old girl who loves animals, throwing a sweet 16 party with a safari theme is an ideal way to help her celebrate this special moment in her life. With a little planning, you can throw a sweet 16 safari bash that will bring out the wild animal in everyone involved. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Contact the guests with safari themed invitations. Indicate the party will have a safari theme. Ask each guest to attend the party dressed as a wild animal. Seeing all her friends dressed as some of her favorite wild animals can make the party more fun for the guest of honor. Set aside a safari outfit for the guest of honor to put on once the theme of the party has been revealed.
2. Call the local zoo about renting a room for the party. For a price, some zoos will allow you to host a birthday party and even give a private tour to the birthday group. A party at the zoo might include tickets for a ride on the train around the zoo.
3. Decorate the party room with construction paper jungle vines and as many stuffed safari type animals as you can gather together. Lions, tigers, monkeys, zebras, giraffes and rhinos are some of the types of stuffed animals you will need. The larger the stuffed animals, the better the safari illusion will be. Balloons with animal prints are also ideal. You can find these at many party supply outlets. Purchase a jungle-theme CD to set the mood and plan to watch a movie like "Lion King" or "The Jungle Book" to finish off the day.
