I have searched all over the web and I cannot find anywhere that sells party supplies for a boy's 16th birthday. Everything is sweet sixteen. I am just looking for some plates/napkins that say 16th birthday that are not pink.

Any suggestions??

Why not just buy festive items? Does it absolutely have to say "16" on it?

Check out Party City --- they usually have everything.

I doubt the boys care if the napkins say anything. As long as there is food.

Seriously... the guys won't care.
They will know he is 16, even if the plates and napkins don't tell them.

Spend your time and money on the food, not on party decorations.

Default party supplies

Party supplies would be pizza and pop. Just get his favorite color paper plates or something with "celebrate" on them. Boys that age don't really care about the fine details of paper products. They'll just scarf down their food and move on to the next thing at the party. But you're a good mom who pays attention to detail! I think it's sweet that you're trying to make it so special for him!

As the parent of a 16 year old boy I would say that the boys do not care one bit about what the plates say as long as there is food, and lots of it!

Food, girls, music.....Great party for a teenaged boy.

Does Your son like baseball... I know in the party city by me they have a big collection of Mets/ Yankee party supplies which I think a teenager would love. if he doesnt like that then maybe just get some balloons that say 16.

I know he doesn't really care about the decorations. I just wanted to have a few things to differentiate this birthday from others. I'll probably just get some luau themed ones I found from the dollar store. It's just a bbq/pool party.
