I'm doing this for my daughter's sixteenth b-day. She loves the peace, love, ect.
So we're having a dance featuring it all! We're having a dance at our local community building. The invites say go green i'm turning 16!" All guests are asked to wear green. They are also asked to bring old coats or clothes for our area homeless shelter. This replaces bringing gifts. The decorations are going to be a mix of 60's and recycling. 2 liter pop bottles can be cut from bottom up going around to make a spiral. When hung they're really cool! The bottom of them is going to be used for dips. Thick paper plates are going to be hung for peace signs. I'm taking wire and making a 3 ft. peace sign heart and 16 and covering the peace in multi lights heart in red and 16 in purple. These are going to hang in the middle along with strands of lights around the ceiling. Beads will be hung in the entrance and bathroom doorways. Her party is the night before her b-day so at midnight when she turns 16 two large trashbags of balloons hanging from the ceiling will be opened when we start singing happpy b-day. The tables are going to be covered with newspaper and centerpieces are 2 liter bottles with baby t-shirts on them. I'm tye dyeing them first with food coloring. Fake daisies are going in the top of each one. Also on the tables will be bowls of granola for that hippie feel! Fondue is going to be the featured food. 3 tables with different kinds of cheese and one chocolate. Drinks are pop or mixes. Grenadine and gingerale or squirt with frozen fruit will be our "lava lamps". There will also be a station with face paints for the kids to "decorate" themselves with peace and love. In the corner will be a fake tree with a sign that says "hug me". Cute huh?! The music is going to be done by a local college kid in desperate need of money. Cheap! My daughter doesn't know about the party either! She thinks we're going out to eat at a fancy restraunt so she's going to be all decked out. Her BFF's are helping with it all. Should be fun!!"
