DIY diy: BACKYARD SWEET 16 sixteen party decoration ideas

Here are some ideas from two Sweet 16 parties.

Evening party: candles. white Christmas lights all around. lights or candles around food. Separate drinks table. disco lights (from spencers). Buffet table for finger foods/ canapes/ appetizers. Inexpensive punch fountains (Walmart.co chocolate $50, punch $30). Centerpieces from DD's Discount (its like ROSS but cheaper). Plastic table covers keep the price down. but if you throw more parties, think about purchasing some.

"drapes" are actually TWIN size FLAT bed sheets by Mainstays sold at Walmart. I couldn't order them online, so plan MONTHS in advance, so you can shop all your local walmarts. PVC Pipes and pvc fittings from Home Depot, lowes, and OSH.

Dollar Tree. The best place for party supplies. Small "salad" pates pack of 6. 12piece fork, spoon, knife. Flower vases. fake flowers. small ribbons. rocks. color sand. table covers. platic serving utensils. CRYSTAL CUT bowls and serving trays (I have reused mine sooo many times).

Ikea: 3 tier glass serving trays $15. candle holders I think 12 for $1.99 and 49cents each. 100 tea light candles for like $4?
