My Super Sweet 16

When I was growing up I wanted nothing more than to have an extravagant 16th birthday party because I would watch My Super Sweet 16. This reality television show is what really inspired me to want to become an event planner.

In the show the teenagers would pick an over the top theme for their birthday party. The teenagers will then hire an event planner to stay in their budget for the party. I enjoyed watching the event planner put the teenagers dreams into a reality. The teenagers wanted their party to be the party of the year so they would have a crazy way of entering the party, hire dancers, and a famous performer to sing at the party. For example, one of the girls rode and elephant in to her party to make a statement. The parties would also have a gate so not just anybody could go to the party. One of my favorite parts is when the teenager gets their birthday present from their parents.

My Super Sweet 16 showed me not only the good side of being an event planner but also the bad. The teenagers in the show are use to getting everything they wanted so if something wasn't perfect then they would throw a fit. I also learned that event planners have to always have a back up. In one of the episodes the teenagers outfit ripped and the event planner pulled out and sewing kit and fixed it. 

My Super Sweet 16 is a reality television show anyone can watch. I still will watch reruns on MTV with my little sister that is 12 years old. If you haven't seen the show I recommend taking the time to try to watch it!
