DRESS-UP PARTY IDEAS

DRESS UP PARTY INVITATION IDEAS:

• Cut a star out of card stock and line the edges with glitter – have party info in the center of the star

• Send a fun plastic ring with a big jewel on it into a small jewelry gift box with confetti and tissue, along with the part details inside. “Your Invited Dahling!!”

• Take a sheet of cardstock and place a scrapbook sticker or a clip art picture of a shoe from your computer and add a piece of marabou feather to the toe of the shoe – place party info on the blank space of card stock DECORATION IDEAS:

• Have “Beauty” music playing in the background

• Decorate with lots of tulle and bows, draped around the ceiling and the table and chairs

• Drape garlands of pearls (found in a ribbon department at your local craft store) around the tables and vanity stations

• Have out a full-length mirror so the girls can see how pretty they look

DRESS UP PARTY GAME IDEAS:

• Hire or ask friends to help with different “stations” at the party: hair style, make-up, nails, & dress-up

• Have a runway show. Ask the girls throughout the party different questions like, “where is their favorite place to shop” or “what is their favorite movie” or “who is their favorite person in the world” then during the runway show, announce each girl with their answers to the questions – it is so cute – especially with little bitty girls. Decorate the runway with glitter and set up chairs for parents all around – you could even set up lights

• Have a trunk out full of lots of dress-up fun!! Some ideas are: fur, feather boas, fun hats, wraps, big sunglasses, long gloves, fake nails, jewels,

• Buy, cheap wide brim straw hats and buy jewels, faux flowers, and ribbons to decorate with and have the girls decorate their own hats

DRESS UP PARTY FAVOR IDEAS:

• Buy dress-up shoes, plastic jewelry, sunglasses, or hair accessories

• Buy small purses and fill with brush, comb, mirror, candy lipstick, candy necklaces and a sucker engagement ring

• Buy make-up bags with lip-gloss, body sparkles, nail polish and eye shadow

• If you have access to a color picture printer or a local 1-hour photo developer, designate someone to sneak out to print all pics taken of the girls in all of their dress-up clothes. Print enough pics that each girl can have a picture of everyone at the party. Buy the girls small mini-scrapbooks and have everyone have fun decorating their own scrapbook and each girl can autograph all the other girls books as a keepsake
