For my Sweet 16 party my mom threw the best party I ever had.  She did a "Glamour Shots" party. We gathered a head of time, all kinds of neat stuff. Costume jewelry, feather boas, formal gowns, shiney fabric, leather jackets, hats, gloves etc.  All my friends were invited.  They were instructed to bring their own brush and make up. My mom had several of her friends from work come over to help with hair and make up.  Each girl was given a make up and hair style make over.  They were all to pick from the outfits and jewelry what they wanted to wear.  My mom hung a sheet with a simple splash pattern on a wall with thumb tacks. We had a stool that we covered with the matching fitted sheet. Each guest had several shots taken from our digital camera. You have to get really close for them to come out good. We put all the pictures on the computer and they got to choose 1 8X10, 2 5X7's and some wallets to take home.  We printed all the pictures and even gave out an 8x10 frame as a party favor. This party lasted a very long time between costuming, makeup, hair, posing and printing.  The girls all said it was their favorite birthday party. We just served pizza, chips and pop to occupy them while they waited.  Everyone enjoyed seeing everyone elses pictures too.  It was really unique and very fun!  We even sent the extra photos in to Walmart to get printed so I would have copies.  They actually made us sign something saying they were our own work before they would process them to prevent copywrites, they thought they were studio prints!  I must say without my moms co-workers we couldn't have pulled it off. They helped to give me the greatest party! Hope everyone thinks this is a neat idea!
