We were so excited to have the opportunity to plan Nico’s sweet 16 this month! Nico and his family really wanted to celebrate this big life milestone and throw a fun party for him and his friends to enjoy. Nico is in a band and plays not only guitar, but many other instruments. It was a no-brainer for him that he wanted his big day to have music as the focal point to bring everyone together.

We created a really fun backdrop that displayed lots of Nico’s favorite album covers on it. Our color scheme was a bit more alternative with red, black, blue, grey, and yellow – reminiscent of popular colors in the 90’s alternative scene! Although Nico is super into Y2K music and the 90’s – his music taste is so vast, so there were a lot of fun albums from many decades represented. Disco balls and spray-painted vintage boom boxes decorated the space and added a fun touch!

Nico and his band had big plans to perform 10 songs throughout the night for everyone in attendance. We had custom signage that read: “One Night Only” to make it feel like a real live concert or show! We couldn’t believe how truly talented the band was. So impressive for being only 16 years old!

Tables were decorated with a bright and bold centerpieces with spray painted baby’s breath accents. We had custom floral picks made that read “What’s my age again?” (A Blink-182 reference) and “Nico Turns 16.” There were also custom signs encouraging guests to upload their photos to a shared app.

Last but not least, for food we had tons of options for the hungry teens. A taco cart was on-site making delicious street tacos, and there was pizza to grab as well as chips, candy, snacks, and beverages. For dessert we had a small cake with Nico’s red guitar on it for everyone to sing him Happy Birthday with, and adorable custom cupcakes to match!

It was such a fun night!!
