Sweet Sixteen Birthday Ideas?

I really don't know where to have my sweet sixteen. I was thinking about renting a pool (since I do swim team and love swimming). I know many girls in my grade for their sweet sixteen are having pool parties and I want mine to be different and better. If I rent a pool I though I should like to do a tropical theme with sunglasses and leis. I don't know if I should hire a DJ or just make a CD with songs I like and play it at the pool.

I also am gonna have a lot of food. I don't know if I should stick with the tropical theme for the food too or just bake yummy food. I'm also scared since I live in a small town maybe not that many people will come and I don't know how I can make people want to come. I would just like tips or advise on how to make my Sweet Sixteen fun and something everyone enjoys.
