What's the difference between a "16th birthday" and a "sweet 16" party?

"Sweet 16" traditionally refers to a girl's 16th birthday celebration, often with a more formal or themed party, while "16th birthday" is a more general term used for any teen turning 16, including boys. This collection works for both — many of the decorations are gender-neutral or easily personalized to fit either type of celebration.
