IS this supposed to be some Super Sweet 16 thing?? I have never heard of this for a 16 y/o's party, but I guess times have changed since we were all 16..

yes i have heard of this before. i also have been to a lot of sweet 16s recently where the girls on the dais wear the same dress. like bridesmaids do. completely ridiculous. FH already said our future daughter is not allowed to have a sweet 16.

you'd be surprised.. even kids who are 13 and having their mitzvah's ask for guests for things like that.
Not uncommon but imo a little weird.

omg my sister did the same thing for her 21 birthday last month her and 2 of her friends had a huge party( they all turned 21 around the same time) all the guest had to wear black and white except for them they wore bright colors with Tiaras lol it was really cool!!

for a Quinceañera, typically the court wears all the same dresses similiar to bridesmaids.

I dont really think its too much. I mean i think everyone owns something black or white. I know when I was in high school (10 years ago this year) a few people had theme parties. One had a 50's party. and I know people who spent more on their sweet 16's then Im spending on my entire wedding.

I've actually been to a sweet 16 where they told us to wear black & white. My friend's sister told everyone to wear, pink and black. A lot of girls are doing it nowadays. My cousin even went to a wedding where the bride told guests what color they could and could not wear.

My cousin wore what looked like a bridal gown to her sweet 16...it was ridiculous! Most of these girls now are treating these 16th birthday parties like weddings instead of having normal parties in a hall. I've actually gone crossed out a few vendors on here because I've had a cousin that had her birthday party there...is it wrong to not want to have the reception for my big day in a place where my cousin and her friends celebrated 16???

yea there is no such thing as 'sweet sixteen etiquette' but I compared wearing the red dress to someone wearing a white dress to your wedding because I just think its an unnecessary thing to do and in either situation, its an obvious slap in the face to the host of the party or wedding. I think that the show 'my super sweet sixteen' has made 'themes' like this popular but when I was in high school, there were certain parties that had themes like this such as a Hollywood glam party and a quince bday party. Shows now are just giving teenagers new ideas for their parties....just as long as the teens don't get totally out of hand and completely bitchy at their parties like they do on the shows, then I think its cool. I didn't mean to offend you by comparing the wearing white to a wedding to wearing red to an obviously non-red wearing sweet sixteen party though. lo siento

ladies laddiess... i knwo we're not 16 anymore.. and sweet 16's are just sooooo juvenile and silly ..

but when u were 16.. its was a big deal..

and im sure once we''re old and married

we're going to have the same 'attitude' about 2020 brides getting married and going all out. (esp since prices will go up to an insane amount lol)

be niceee

ITA. I totally think it's a little much, but I KNOW when I was 16 I wouldn't have. I guess it's just all about perspective!

As much as it is a little rude for her to send that requirement, I wouldn't wear red...just think how you'd feel if someone showed up to your wedding wearing a white dress.

But yeah, I think that 16 is a little early to be so demanding.

i agree also
