One of my best friends is turning 16 and she was just having a reguler pool party like she did every year. So another of her friends and I got together and decided to write her a hilarious poem and buy certain things that complimented each line of the poem. For example, "To Amber! to turning 16.." here we got her 16 candles, "to being a teenage drama queen.." and here we found the cutest tiara ever!, "to having more mature relationships.." we got her a thong! (lol) they had tennis rackets on it (shes an AWESOME tennis player), "and to being wise when certain guys a idiots.." here we got her a notebook with a crazy scientist on it, "to getting a car and driving the speed limit.." my friends mom got a speeding ticket so we transfered it onto the comp. and changed the name to my best friends and put in her address and everything. its awesome! And the poem goes on. But another thing is that my bff is a HUGE fan on Johnny Depp. So we went to the mall and they have the big cardboard "figurines" of certain characters. Well they got one of Jack Sparrow. It's taller than me! and im one of the tallest girls at school. So my bffs lil' sister is gonna help us sneak it in on the day of her party, into her room and we'll send her in their and shell see it! It'll be awesome. Plus were bringing DDR so it'll be even better. We dont really have a theme but doing something special for a friend and being around everyone your friends with is just as good as spending loads of cash. Hope this helps anyone wanting to do something special for your friends Sweet 16.
