Planning a Sweet 16 can be stressful, especially if you don’t know where to start. Knowing which steps to take and when is vital in planning the perfect day for your daughter, so why not get a head start and use these pre-planning tips to set you on your way.

1. Decide on a date - Choose a date that works for everyone. Your party doesn't have to fall exactly on her birthday. Consider holidays and plan accordingly to guarantee a full house.
2. Who will be attending? – Depending on your daughter’s preference, you will have to figure out how many people you’ll be expecting. Decide whether the party will be intimate with just close friends and family or a big, elaborate bash. 
3. Select your venue – Picking a location for the big day can be difficult and time consuming. Now that you know how many people you’re expecting, pick a venue that will be comfortable for everyone while keeping your budget in mind. 
4. Send save-the-date notices – Planning a party months in advance calls for a save-the-date notice to remind guests not to plan anything on your special day. 
5. Select and order the right invitation – Once you've established the date, venue, and guest list, order an invitation that’s sure to make your party pop.
