How to Plan A Glitz and Glamour Birthday Party For Girls


This party is a great idea for 8-12 year old girls. Get all their best girlfriends together and be ready for a night of glamour and fun! This party is simple to set up, and it is sure to be a hit!

· Go to a local thrift store and pick out a few dresses for guests to change into when they arrive. You can also ask around, many people have old bridesmaid or prom dresses they would be happy to lend to you for the party. Think bright colors, sequins and sparkle!

· Serve simple snacks and drinks at the party. Finger sandwiches or mini pizzas will be a hit with younger kids, and for a little extra glamour, serve sparkling apple cider in champagne flutes!

Sprinkle Girls Night Out High Heel Shoe Confetti, Diva Confetti and Diamond Ring Confetti on the table around the snacks.

· For this party, instead of sending home small gift bags, send home something a little more unique. Go to a local craft store and pick up some inexpensive cardboard frames. Grab some glue, confetti and glitter and you are good to go! Set up a table at the party where girls can decorate their frames.

· Set up an area for pictures. Use thumbtacks to hang a solid color sheet on a wall. Add a Disco Ball Balloon for some extra flair. Use a digital camera and print the pictures out before the end of the party for guests to take home in their new glitter frames.

After the party is over, don’t forget to send out thank you notes to all the guests who attended. Keeping with the theme of glitz and glamour from the party, add a little of the confetti used in the party into the envelope along with the thank you note.
