Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks everyone!!! tink62

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Well, you're going to need to get a new Hummer as well as have one of her favorite R&B singers perform, because, as you know she is turning 16 and if she doesn't have all of this then it proves that you don't love her...make sure that you have her walk into Disneyland on a red carpet and shower her with money and invite EVERY SINGLE PERSON AT HER SCHOOL. Of course if she cries and moans and complains, then that means you're OBVIOUSLY doing something wrong and will have to get her a new Ferrari as well. After all, you only turn 16 once. Why not make it super and sweet?

"They" have to fly to Paris or Milan for that special outfit, and we are planning our attack of after Halloween and Christmas sales!!!

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD That sounds like a great theme. I was going to mention the custom M&Ms as we did that for my DD's graduation and you can pick the colors and the sayings on it. The other thing I had planned to do, but ran out of time was to personalize Jones soda cans with your own picture so that might be something cool to add a personalized touch.
Originally Posted By tinkerbell1962 Thanks TXDISNEYNERD, I didn't know about the Jones soda cans. I'm gonna look into that!! I just want enough "stuff" for them to do. It'll probably just be at our house, mid January weather is sometimes pretty mild. Heck, her first 4 birthdays were held at the park - and usually most of us were in shorts!! I can have things set up on the back patio and then have a firepit going for marshmellows/smores.
