Consider getting a heart-shaped ice tray to add a girly touch to the drinks!

Entertainment

Pamper party entertainment requires coordination, so it’s a good idea to wait until everyone has arrived before starting. To keep the children happy as they wait for the others, provide some age-appropriate magazines like a real salon, or give them some blank paper and let them draw their own fashion designs. The main event of any pamper party is a special makeover. You can apply the make-up yourself, asking friends, other mothers, or older guests to help. It doesn’t need to be complicated. Simple touches like lipstick, blush, and nail-painting are sure to make the girls feel glamorous! Buy a few children’s make-up sets from trusted shops such as Claire’s and let the guests share them. Claires Make Up You can fill party bags with small, cute accessories like necklaces, hair clips, and rings. The Card Gallery has a great range of party bag stickers to make them look extra special! The children can use their new items to add the finishing touches to their makeover. A few sweets and some cute stickers, like these Butterfly Stickers from Amazon, can be used if the children are too young for jewellery. Party Bag Once the girls have dressed up, they can have a fashion show. Try making a little runway with a pink carpet, fairy lights, and some sparkly confetti. Having a beauty shoot is exciting for the children, and it’s a great way to capture some special photos for the birthday girl to treasure. Runway Finish up with some classic games that have been given the pamper party makeover!
