Sweet 16, Should I have it, family outing or party bash?

if i were to have it family outing, we would go to a really fancy restaurant, then have cake then just hang at home and watch a rented dvd that i picked out or... If I were to have it a party, it cost a lot but be a blast with friends, it just seems like having a party would be too much. even if its my sweet sixteen b-day, but i wouldn't have to worry about family getting too much in the way of having a great time. what should i do????
