Sweet 16 Parties - Part 2

A Ski Party

By Donna Pilato, About.com

Party Description

Is your daughter's birthday in the winter, and do you live in an area that offers skiing within a few hours drive? Also, is your daughter athletic? If your answer is yes, then take your daughter and a few friends for either a day or weekend ski trip. If it's a weekend trip you'll need to book a room for the girls, a room for the boys, and another for the chaperones (preferably in the middle!).

Planning Elements

  • Select ski resort and make reservations if it will be a weekend trip.
  • Invite guests.
  • Make arrangements for transportation. If it's a large group you may need to rent or borrow a larger vehicle. Or perhaps you invite a few other adult chaperones along for fun and transportation!
  • Most ski resorts have restaurants on premise. Check if you'll need to make advance reservations for meals for the whole group.
  • Purchase favors.

Party Favor Suggestion

A winter care package including a pair of warm mittens, a lip balm, sunscreen, and a package of hot chocolate.
