planning a sweet sixteen party! HELP!!!?

okay so its my lil sis's sweet sixteen (She lives with me, dad dead, mom has mental prob) and i cant afford to throw her a MTV party, but i want her to have a great time, since i never had a sweet sixteen party myself i have no fricken clue what to do...okay well i sorta do, here it goes: Her adn her friends get in a limo and drive around to places, i will set up clues for them adn the limo driver will know where to go ahead of time so they dont spend like 5 hours and then we have no money for food for the rest of the month.... anyway so they go to the places and she gets a prez from each place, i want to make the places fun so i was thinking henna and tarot card readings but i need more ideas, also she like me is out there and likes attention, so for costumes we were thinking princess themed..but one of her friends refused to wear a dress...so i was think wired costume sorta things..cuz the particular friend is a must have at the party apparently and Rowan (sis) will die if shes not there....so i was thinking maybe since Rowan like history they could dress up as someone from history but then i thought she might think that was dorkie or something...i really have not earthly idea what to do...please help me.

1. WOW youve outdone yourself already maybe not someone from history but....idk whats her favorite show/movie/book? they could be character from there....?
2. I think your idea sounds really cute. Maybe add a nail salon or a spa to the list...they could get pedicures and massages or facials. And then at the end, you could have the last stop be to your house or to a restaurant or ice cream place where there could be dinner or cake/ice cream. I would not do the costume thing at all unless your sister really wants to. I can't really see a lot of teenagers wanting to do that. Also, you could have the limo stocked with her favorite drink (non-alcoholic, of course!).
3. You can go to places like somewhere to eat, a dance studio and they can learn a quick dance, an arcade place (dave and busters). And they can dress up as their favorite holidays like christmas, or fourth of july.
4. Fourth of july birthday would be fun. I think the limo idea is way too expensive. If she lives with you I judge that you guys aren't exactly first class, so skip that. I think you should have a birthday party at the beach or a park. Host it when it starts to get darker out. Use fireworks and grill food or something. Buy glitter hairspray, face paint, stuff to color everybody red white and blue! Buy a couple water guns and everybody could put on bathing suits and shoot each other if you're on the beach. You could even create a dance floor- get the cheap linoleum and a music player, some lights and set up a dance floor somewhere. Even for 16 that seems kind of fun. My cousin did much less than that for her 16th and everybody had a BLAST! Make sure to get really cool sweets- dress up cupcakes and make your own party favors- maybe a bunch of flags that have the USA flag on the front and, "Happy 16th Rowan!" on the back. Tell her happy birthday. Best of luck xox
