Oh ya they do. I know a girl who recently had a big sweet 16 party at the same establishment that my brother got married at. Catering, a DJ, the girl even got the bridal suite to get ready in. So I'm guessing it cost many many thousands of dollars. Like possibly in the realm of $10,000. It's crazy.
Yes they do. IMO the values are totally warped spending so much on a few hours of a party. There are so many more reasonable things one could do with these large sums of money spent often 25k-100k plus at least in the New York area and some people take out loans to do it on top of not spending their money on wiser things for the long term!
Jesus Christ! On an basically insignificant birthday?? I hear of people doing that for weddings and I think they're fools...but for a birthday?? That's like...the price of some houses in some parts of America...
Is Is Normal That I Never Had A Sweet Sixteen?

I'm from NJ and I find things to be pretty expensive here, but it's nothing compared to NY. I don't know how people afford anything there.
That is an insane amount to spend on anything, let alone a party for some spoiled twirp. Good grief.
Fuck...
Even if I had that mind of money to waste...that is way too much of a waste.
I didn't have a 16th. But for my 18th, we played pass the parcel and attacked each other with water bombs :D

The mother even bought all the dresses for the girls in "the court". That seems to big these days too, having a court. I dunno man.
I had to Google pass the parcel. I'd totally play that on my next birthday.

I 100% agree! You can put a down-payment on a house OR in case of sweet sixteen pay for part or all of college. The values are warped IMO.
