A Sweet Sixteen birthday is considered a significant milestone in a young person's life, as it is the age at which they are officially considered a teenager in many cultures. It is often seen as a "rite of passage" and a time for the person to celebrate their growing independence and maturity. Due to it's significance, it's important to throw the perfect party that they will remember for years to come!
Throwing a dance party can be a fun and exciting event for your child and their friends. There are just a few steps you can follow to plan a successful dance party!
Consider the size of the space and whether it is suitable for dancing. You may want to consider renting a hall or event space if you don't have a large enough space at home. If you plan to host it at home, there's always the option of renting dance floor panels!
Determine the type of music you want to play at the sweet sixteen dance party. You can create a playlist of songs or hire a DJ to play music for you.
You will also want to set up a snack area if you want to serve food and drinks. Remember, you'll have lots of hungry teenagers!
Most importantly, you have to decorate the space with streamers, balloons, and other party decorations.
With a little planning and organization, you can throw a successful dance party that everyone will enjoy!
Hosting a movie night for their sweet sixteen is a fun and relaxing activity that all kids can enjoy! This is also a budget-friendly idea, that involves very little set up and clean up.
Choose the movie: Select movies that (hopefully) everyone will enjoy. You could pick a classic film or something more recent. But make sure to check the rating of the movie, as it should be appropriate for a sweet sixteen party.
Set up the space: Make sure you have a comfortable space to watch the movie. Set up blankets, pillows, and chairs to create a cozy atmosphere. Make sure there's enough room for all the guests and then dim the lights.
Most importantly, no movie night is complete without a big bowl of popcorn. You can simply pop some at home or there is always the option of renting a real popcorn machine from your local party store. You can also provide other snacks and drinks for your guests.
Start the movie: Once everything is set up and the guests have arrived, it’s time to start the movie. Make sure to turn off all the lights and silence all phones to fully immerse yourselves in the film.
By following these tips, you can host a memorable and enjoyable movie night!
An outdoor birthday party is a classic choice! Nothing better than getting out in the sun and having some fun. Here's just a short guide on how to make it a memorable party!
Choose a location: Consider the weather and space needed for activities. A park, backyard, or beach are all great options for outdoor birthday celebrations.
Plan activities: Think about what activities you would like to do at the party. Some ideas include games, sports, a bounce house, or a water balloon toss.
Food and drinks: Plan for any dietary restrictions that the guests might have. If you plan on having the food outside, make sure you have everything in the shade and that there is covers on all the food when not in use.
Have backup plans: It is always a good idea to have backup plans in case of inclement weather. Have a plan in place in case you need to move the party indoors or reschedule.
Overall, the key to hosting a successful outdoor birthday party is to plan ahead and be prepared for any unexpected challenges that may arise.
A crafting party can be an enjoyable and creative way to spend a sweet sixteen birthday.
Plan the crafts: Plan out the crafts you will be doing at the party and make sure you have enough materials for everyone. Consider providing step-by-step instructions or demonstrations to help people complete their projects. You can find plenty of craft ideas that are perfect for sixteen year olds by clicking here.
Prepare materials: Gather all the materials you will need for the crafts you have planned. This may include items such as paint, scissors, glue, paper, and any other necessary supplies.
Set up the space: Set up the crafting area in a well-lit, spacious room. Make sure there is enough space for everyone to work comfortably and that all the materials are easily accessible.
Clean up: Make sure to clean up the crafting area once the party is over. This will help to ensure that the space is ready for the next time you want to use it.
Throw a successful crafting party by having a clear plan and by providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for your guests. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can host a fun and memorable crafting party that everyone will enjoy.
This one is for the sports-lovers out there!
Choose a sport: Pick a sport that the birthday person enjoys or that you think will be the most fun for the guests. This will help you plan the rest of the party around the chosen sport.
Plan activities: Think about what activities you want to do at the party. This might include a sport-themed scavenger hunt, a sport-themed craft, or a friendly game of the chosen sport.
Decorate: Use sport-themed decorations to set the mood for the party. This might include streamers, balloons, and banner with the sport's logo or team colours. Here at Party Stuff we have basketball, football, soccer, and hockey decorations.
Plan the menu: Consider serving sport-themed snacks and drinks, such as hot dogs, popcorn, and soda. You could also serve sports-themed cakes or cupcakes.
Play games: Plan a friendly game of the chosen sport or other sport-themed games to keep everyone entertained.
Hand out favours: Consider giving out sport-themed favours, such as sports equipment or team-themed items, to thank your guests for coming.
For the sports-loving teen, you can't go wrong with this idea! This is one birthday they sure won't forget. Make sure to include a few items from their favourite teams as well.
This idea is perfect for the teenager that loves board games or mystery novels. It's definitely an exciting way to spend a couple of hours with their friends.
Choose a theme and storyline: There are many different murder mystery party kits available that come with a pre-written script and character descriptions. You can also create your own theme and storyline if you prefer. And when you're inviting the guests, be sure to mention if you plan to have a dress code that goes along with the game!
Assign characters: Once you know who will be attending, assign each person a character from the storyline. Provide each person with a character description and any other information they will need to play their role.
Plan the party: Set a date and location for the party and plan the menu and decorations. You can also create any props or clues that will be needed for the mystery.
Run the party: On the day of the party, provide each guest with their character information and any props or clues they will need. Encourage everyone to stay in character and have fun solving the mystery.
Solve the mystery: As the host, it's your job to keep the party moving along and provide any necessary hints or clues to help guests solve the mystery. Once the mystery is solved, you can reveal the identity of the killer and award prizes to the guests who solved it.
With some careful planning and a bit of creativity, you can throw a memorable and enjoyable murder mystery party.
Regardless of which activity you choose, be sure to involve the birthday person in the planning process and make it a celebration that is special and meaningful to them. With a little planning and organization, you can throw a successful sweet sixteen party that everyone will enjoy!
Holiday and Christmas trends are often recycled, but there are always a few themes and staples that stand out and catch a craze. This year, we expect that people will lean into nostalgia and creativity. We believe the movement of supporting local retailers and sustainable choices will continue, plus there will be an emphasis on handcrafted keepsakes and a stronger focus on personalized gifts.
These trends have appeared before, but the last few years have reminded us of how precious celebrations are with loved ones, so we expect them to be at the forefront of the holidays.
Sustainable living entered the mainstream a few years back, and its popularity has been increasing ever since. We’ve seen a lot of alternatives since its rise, but a common party theme also emerged: minimalistic woodland.
The theme blends organic materials, elements from nature, and a low-waste mindset. Birthdays, bridal showers, weddings, and even holiday events like Christmas, have all referenced this theme. Woodland is a sustainable theme and one that can easily support local makers, which makes it ideal for 2022.
To achieve this theme, incorporate twine, cork, pine cones, hessian fabric, hemp, dried fruits and flowers or reference nature with ceramics, glass, or wood decor. These elements will leave you with beautiful earth tones, but to have a nodd at Christmas, add pops of berry red, forest green, and bold golden hues.

A merry and bright theme for Christmas embodies youth and energy, it’s not for everyone, but if done correctly, it can be incredibly memorable and fun. This fantastical theme features a mixture of neon brights, candy stripes, rainbow hues, and coloured fairy lights. This upbeat trend was motivated by a desire for optimism and a better New Year ahead and connects with the picture-perfect craving generation.
“There has been a 346% increase in searches for disco ball decor, an 86% increase in searches for vibrant wall art and a 24% increase in searches for colourful wreaths…” says trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson.
To achieve this holiday theme, focus on bright colours like hot pinks, lime greens, aqua, royal blue, and orange tones while mixing shimmering, shiny, and matte decorations. You can opt to colour-block if you’re courageous and already have a bold-coloured room. Alternatively, you can use whites and creams to balance the bright decorations. To ensure the theme is cohesive, choose a couple of focal colours, balance them with metallics or whites, and add diversity with shades and decoration sizes.

We’re seeing nostalgia everywhere: remakes of cult classics, Y2K fashion, vintage interior design, etc. People are heading back to the classics, and it’s no different for the holidays. On TikTok alone, there are over 30 million views of the hashtag #VintageChristmas.
This Christmas theme will easily be a front-runner; it’s so versatile to personal style and encourages long-running traditions. But, we think most will aim for maximalism, expression of texture, and include corny Christmas elements.
To achieve this holiday theme, stick with the classic colour palette of forest greens, rich reds, and warm golds. Find your seasonal pillows and throws in velvets, plaids, and checkered designs. Plus, any ceramic Santa pieces, brush bottle trees, reindeer sculptures, or heirlooms. Now, make the theme timeless by mixing jewel tones and gold accents.

Soft pinks and peaches are favoured in interior design and personal aesthetics; we expect many will mix this trend with the beloved bohemian style for the holidays.
Bohemian Christmas décor is simply stunning; it is sophisticated, muted, and chic all at once while maintaining the boho feel of a relaxed, hippie, and organic ambiance. It’s already heavily used in interior design, and many won’t have to make dramatic changes but will add festival elements.
To achieve this holiday theme, use faux fur, rattan, and velvets to add winter warmth and incorporate rustic pampas grass, dried floral arrangements, wooden decor, and macrame accents in your decorations. Add dimension with black accents and warm metallic touches. With this style, less is more.

It's that time of year; thrillers and cult classics dominate our screens, our homes are full of pumpkins and skulls, and we’re all enjoying childhood traditions (with a spin). Halloween is on our minds which adds to the stress of selecting the best costume to wear while enjoying everyone’s favourite holiday.
Even if you don't want to acknowledge it, we all know how tough it can be to find a clever and one-of-a-kind costume. It’s even more challenging when you agree to a couple's costume.
Party Stuff has you covered; we’ve picked the top 10 Halloween couple costumes for 2022 and linked where to find them!
Our first five ideas for Halloween couples costumes are available to purchase in-store at any Party Stuff location in Winnipeg, or you can order online (we ship across the country).
What can me and my girlfriend be for Halloween? Well, if she left the choice up to you, take the opportunity to make a grand entrance in Party Stuff’s Fireball Bottle and Fireball Shot Glass couples costume. You’re sure to get a lot of laughs and maybe even free shots!

Not all couple costumes mimic iconic romantic duos; sometimes you want to twin your friend, sibling or pet, or better yet – you’re going to a themed Halloween party. Our next pick is the perfect Halloween costume for two people or more.
Freakshow Clowns is such a creative Halloween costume; just browse Pinterest, and you’ll find hundreds of pins dedicated to experimental makeup and unique twists.

When Netflix released Money Heist, it quickly captivated international audiences; part 5 of the series (the final season) had 148 million viewing hours in one week! We’ve seen impressive group Money Heist costumes throughout the years, but the finale didn’t air until December 2021.
So, if you want to take a snag at this distinct group, customize your look to the finale. If you’re Toyko, opt for her short pixie hairstyle, have a few gunshot wounds, and include fake grenades.
Stop at Party Stuff for our Money Heist With Mask adult costume and consider these Halloween accessories:

Super Mario Bros is as popular as ever. This Halloween couple costume can go so many ways; be the Mario brothers, Mario and Luigi, Mario and Princess Peach, or select any other character like Bowser or Toad. It’s also ideal for families and groups.

Are you a crafty couple or group? Looking for something low-maintenance or versatile? DIY Halloween costumes are your best option. Buying costume accessories instead of a full costume allows you to reuse the accessories for other costumes or events, plus you can create aspects of your costume to save money.
The Four Elements is a relatively easy group costume to create. Everyone picks an element and follows a colour scheme: red for fire, blue for water, green/brown for earth, and white for air.
To complete the looks, be artistic with your makeup and grab some accessories:

Have two besties? Be the ingredients of a tequila shot: tequila, salt, and a slice of lime. Similar to the Four Elements costume, you need to follow a colour scheme: tequila is bronze, the salt is white, and the lime slice is green.
Then, you’ll want to print out pictures of tequila, salt, and limes. Run to the craft store to grab cardboard, scissors and string. Boom, you’re done – it’s as simple as that.
You could always grab wigs and costume makeup to make it more artistic.
This adorable costume isn’t one you come across often. Have one person dress as a pool boy or servant carrying a tropical drink, and the other can dress as the matching drink.
The pool servant can wear swim trunks, a colourful shirt, sunglasses, and even sun lotion on their nose.
For the tropical drink: grab a cheap serving tray, a large plastic cup, and craft supplies to dress it up. Glue the cup to the tray, and you’re good to go.
The person dressing as the drink should match the crafted cup as closely as possible. Wear a dress or outfit similar to the colour, attach a large straw, and carry a jumbo drink umbrella.
Many think this Halloween couple’s costume needs a big budget, but in reality, you only need a few simple pieces to come across as Beetlejuice and Lydia.
For Beetlejuice, snag Party Stuff’s Beetlejuice wig and skull makeup kit, then hit up the thrift store for a black and white striped shirt or suit jacket.
Lydia isn’t much harder. Veils can be expensive; save money by creating your own; just buy Party Stuff’s $6 white wedding veil and our red hair spray. If you own a red dress, perfect; if not, try a thrift store first or head over to Etsy. Complete the look with our Sassy Black wig.
We love celebrity power couples' costumes! Make your costume a skeleton, zombie, or whatever version you think is best. Don’t worry about gender norms; we all loved Kim/Kourtney as Madonna/Michael Jackson moment.
Can't decide which iconic duo you want to dress up as? Cosmopolitan listed every celebrity power couple for the last 89 years. Pick the couple from your birth year or whichever is the most fun.
You can probably find most of your costume through your or your friend's wardrobe, but Party Stuff has you covered for Halloween wigs, makeup, and accessories.

Halloween is favourite among everyone; adults, teens, kids, pets, grandparents–seriously, who doesn't love Halloween? Maybe you’re planning a Halloween party, or maybe you’re planning a birthday party with a Halloween theme, whatever it is, we have the best Halloween party ideas to make your child’s celebration a bash.
The people at Party Stuff are fanatics about Halloween, so we’ll give you the scoop on the best themes, decorations, activities, and food. We might even throw in trending costumes for 2022.
First, let's go through the ins and outs of throwing a fun kid’s Halloween party.
Why is Halloween celebrated?
The holiday stems from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain (when people would light bonfires and dress up in costumes to fend off spirits). Pope Gregory III established November 1 as a day to celebrate all saints in the ninth century. All Saints Day soon included certain Samhain rituals, and the previous evening was known as All Hallows Eve, and then eventually as Halloween.
Halloween has grown into an evening of dressing up in costumes, going trick or treating, and being a bit spooky.
When should you host a Halloween party?
You can host a Halloween party in advance, but typically they’re no earlier than two weeks before the holiday. That means you should host your kid's Halloween party on or after the 15th of the month.
Personally, we have never heard anyone complain about wearing their costume and binging candy early!
What is the most popular Halloween decoration?
The most popular Halloween decoration is a skeleton (based on a Lombardo Homes survey). Animal skeletons have recently become trendy, and Party Stuff has lots in stock. Skeletons fit any Halloween party theme and can be as gory or simplistic as you need.
Technically, Halloween is a theme, so you don’t necessarily need another one. At a standard party, guests will come dressed in a costume of their choice, and you’ll include traditional decorations, snacks, as well as games.
But, we’re suckers for a good theme, and if you are too, we have the top trending Halloween party ideas and themes for kids. If you’re not, any of our ideas can be used at your Halloween party, even if it doesn't have a specific theme.
A ‘Monster Mash’ party is timeless; parents adore the theme because it’s easy to create last-minute or budget-friendly costumes. You can even provide art supplies to create or enhance monster costumes:
-- Plain masks to dress up with paint, googly eyes, and other supplies. You can go simple with white plastic masks or a bit more obscure with uniquely shaped or coloured masks, or even a Plague Doctor mask. Paper bags also work perfectly.
-- Art supplies like glue, tape, pipe cleaners, paper mache, googly eyes, fake hair, fangs, etc.
The best Halloween party decorations for a Monster Mash theme:
-- A spooky balloon garland: For a fun DIY activity with your kids, we recommend the Chrome Gold/Black/Silver Balloon Garland Kit; decorate the balloons with monster faces.
-- Balloons: Same idea; decorate the balloons, so they’re spooky! Add other creepy-themed balloons like the It Chapter 2" Giant 24" Latex Balloons. If you're looking for a less spooky option, you can add pastel balloons for softer touch.
-- Eerie props: You can basically take any household item and turn it into a monster as long as you have paper, glue, googly eyes, and fake blood. Party Stuff is also freshly stocked with props like Horror Shop Plant, Skeleton Gargoyle, Two Headed Doll, etc.
-- Window decals: Create your monster window decals or source them from a party store. Either way, they’re a great touch for the Monster Mash theme.
-- Tableware: There are a lot of options here. Purchase paper plates, cups, etc., with different monsters on them (Frankenstein, vampires, zombies, or anyone else from the standard monster mash crew) or go simple with a black, orange, and green theme. Pastels are great too if you have toddlers and want to keep it on the cute side.
Halloween party ideas for Monster Mash games and activities:
-- Creates monsters with play-doh: Purchase or construct your DIY kits with moldable dough, googly eyes, plastic fangs, pipe cleaners, and other creative items.
-- Do the Monster Mash: I mean, duh? You can't have a monster mash party without actually dancing to Monster Mash.
-- Monster Scavenger Hunt: Have a list of monster-themed items for the kids to find and collect. You can even write or give them clues. If they’re looking for Dracula’s fangs in the punch bowl, the clue can be “find near Dracula’s favourite drink”.
-- Guess the Monster Part: Have kids reach into brown paper bags and guess the “Monster” part. Use grapes as eyeballs, spaghetti as intestines, and mashed potatoes as a brain.
-- Balloons. For nearby Halloween decorations, you can always count on Party Stuff. We have a few different superhero balloons options, and our favourites are Batman Heroes Latex Balloons, Marvel Avengers Powers Latex Balloons, and Foil Balloon - Bouquet Marvel Avengers Power.
-- Backdrops and props. You will want several backdrops with many different characters for maximum diversity. Be sure to include backdrops and props of the Justice League, Marvel Avengers, Spiderman, The Incredibles, etc.
-- Tableware. As per our usual recommendation, go all out! Since you don't have a spooky theme, you want to make your Halloween theme come across loud and clear. Party Stuff has tons of superhero and villain paper plates, cups, table liners, napkins, and anything else you can think of.
-- Hero and Villain Charades: just like the classic game, divide the kids into two teams and have them play charades, but this time they will be acting out a hero or villain.
-- Superhero Training Session: superheroes and villains are always training, so have the kids do a jumping competition, a target practice with Nerf or water guns, a running race, etc.
This Halloween party idea elevates movie night to new heights! Ask the kids to dress up as beloved characters from classic Halloween films such as Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, and The Addams Family. This party is best for ages ten years old and older.
Play some Halloween movies or the movie soundtracks playing in the background.
If you have a good amount of space to play with, we recommend setting up different themed areas (the living room can be Beetlejuice, the kitchen–Addams Family, etc.). The kids can explore the house, and they’ll never be bored.
The best Halloween party decorations for a Flicks and Frights theme:-- Our favourite Beetlejuice decorations we have in-store and online are the Room Decorating Kit, Wall and Window Decals, and the Scene Setter.
-- For The Nightmare Before Christmas, we absolutely love the Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Posable Prop, Yard Decor Kit, and our themed paper plates.
-- It’s easy to get creative with Hocus Pocus: grab a pack of witch hats, creepy stick-on nails, and hanging witch props.
-- Addams Family is a classic! Reference the real-life or animated movie, but definitely have random ‘hands’ around the house and make a cousin It look-alike with old mops.
-- Pick your Poison. Party Stuff’s favourite Halloween game for a Hocus Pocus theme! Have several different drinks (poison) and blindfold the kids, then have them guess the poison. If you want to have themed names, ask the kids to pick the poison from a deck of cards.
-- I Smell Children. This is a similar game to Pick Your Position, but instead, you play with random objects that have a strong odour (old bananas, gym shoes, coffee beans, etc.). Put them in a brown bag and ask the kids to guess the smell!
-- Movie Trivia. Purchase a movie trivia board game or create your own based on your top picks.
-- Pumpkin Carving. Have the kids make their best Jack Skellington.
Who doesn't love a good Zombie Apocalypse Halloween party? It’s another great DIY and budget-friendly option for the host and the party go-ers. Much like the Monster Mash, you only need a few supplies for a Zombie costume: lots of Halloween makeup, fake blood, and paint, as well as old or thrifted clothing that can be cut up and stained.
Zombie Apocalypse is a very versatile Halloween party theme; you can make it as gory or comedic as you like. There is a lot of room for DIY crafts or simple last-minute purchases.
The best Halloween party decorations for a Zombie Apocalypse theme:
-- Props. Our Halloween party ideas for this theme? Lots and lots of props. Party Stuff’s favourites are Blood Drying Rot, Pint Of Blood, Bloody Gauze Strip, Body In A Bag Bloody Prop, The Dead Will Rise Tombstone, and a Brain Shaped Mold.
-- Backdrops. To transform your home into a run-down, zombie-confiscated, creepy institution without having to repaint and tear out your carpets: you’ll want backdrops. The Chop Shop Scene Setter might be too intense for your kids, but you can use the It Chapter 2 3 Panel Scene Setter or a combination of Spider Webs, a Mist Maker, and Skeleton Hand Print Wall Grabbers.
-- Tablesetting. To complete your zombie theme, you’ll need the Bloody Plastic Table Cover, some red paper plates and cups, and use the brain mould to create table decorations.
Halloween party ideas for Zombie games and activities:
-- Red Light, Dead Night. One child will be the sole survivor, the rest are zombies. The survivor will stand away from the zombies, while they form a line. The survivor will yell "death night," and the zombies will charge. When they shout red light, all zombies must stop. The last person to stop is gone. This will continue until a zombie captures the survivor or all of the zombies are exterminated.
-- Brain Toss. Fill several pink balloons with flour, draw a circle or grab a laundry bin, have the kids stand away from the circle or bin and have them toss the brain (pink balloon) into the circle/bin.
-- Musical Zombie. Musical chairs, but make it zombie. Parents love this Halloween party idea because it’s so easy and wears down the sugar rush. Get some upbeat festive music going and have the kids do zombie walks and dances around the chairs.
-- Zombie Headshot. Similar to pin the tail on the donkey, but instead with a large cut-out of a zombie. Fill small balloons with fake blood or water with red food colouring. Have the kids throw the balloons at the zombie cut-out. Whoever gets a headshot, wins!
The best food for a Halloween party with a Zombie theme:
Another safe option if you’re in PTA–make this lively gathering all about friendly ghosts! A super fun theme for toddlers and kids under eight years old. Get a little silly with this one and try lots of DIYs!
The best Halloween party decorations for a Boo Bash theme:
-- Balloons. A Boo Bash needs lots and lots of balloons. Grab all of the white balloon bouquets, off-white balloons, and letter-shaped balloons (to spell BOO). Draw silly, adorable, or slightly scary faces on them.
-- Props. Place Halloween ghost luminary bags all over the house, create a ghost garland, and have worn-down white fabric sheets hanging as curtains, over the furniture, and draped in random places. White pumpkins, spider webs, and hints of orange are complimentary to this theme.
-- Tablesetting. Party Stuff’s Hallo-Ween Friends Plastic Table Cover is a must and pairs well with our textured black plastic plates.
Boo Bash Halloween party ideas for games and activities:
-- Ghost Pumpkin Carving. Use our Family Pumpkin Carving Kit and grab some white paint to make ghost pumpkins.
-- Ghost and Pumpkin Bowling. An easy DIY. Grab a few toilet paper rolls to turn into ghoulish bowling pins. Use a small pumpkin as a ball by cutting off the stem. Get ready to bowl! Side note, a plastic pumpkin or an orange ball works well.
-- Goblin, Goblin, Ghost. You know this game as “duck duck goose” but it’s much more adorable when the kids wear ghost costumes.
-- Ghost Busters. Don’t play this if the kids are easily startled or if you have a headache. This game is also best for kids older than five years old. Dangle white balloons (with ghost faces) from the ceiling or a railing, and make the ribbon loose; when you say “GO” the kids must race to untie a ghost balloon and then pop it by sitting on it.
The best food for a Halloween party with a Ghost theme:
