Guess I'm in the minority on this one, but my son turned 16 last January and we gave him a surprise party with all of his family and friends. We decorated each table differently to represent his childhood and growing up years. I decorated a 12x18 sheet cake to look like his drivers license. He didn't seem to be upset, in fact he had a great time. And we did the same thing for my daughter's 16th three years ago (decorations and cake were different though).
Sweet 16 is for girls usually ,and sweet 18(for lack of a better name) is for guys.
Hope that helps!
My brother had a huuge party with his entire grade and then some for his sweet 18. We had catering and a DJ and everything for him. It was fun ,and was held at a private feild so no clean up for us afterwards!(thank god)
Ive done lots of "Sweet" 16 parties for boys. We just played with the word Sweet or eliminated it all together. I did a "Suite 16" for a really spoiled kid. --A "Sssah-Weet" 16 for a skateboarder-- A "16 Strings" (you know like 16 Candles?) for a boy who played guitar. Its not uncommon in my area for boys to celebrate 16. And the requests for these parties get more and more outrageous$$$$$
Im just thinking about my Sweet 16. My 4 best friends slept over and we went to the mall and the movies the next day. AI didnt have a grand party. But I had a ball!!!! 
I just threw a huge Sweet 16 party for my daughter at a marina. She too has heard of some boys having a big "16th" birthday party. I don't plan to have one for my son. He's only 6 now, but I plan to have a huge graduation party when he finishes high school.
