What a Girl Wants! Girls Fave Party Ideas

Remember when dressing up made you feel like a real princess? Do you still giggle when you gossip with friends? Of course you do! When it comes to throwing an amazing girls' birthday party, tap into your own inner girl. Give her what she wants – like a chance to dance with her favorite Disney characters! Start with a Giant Gliding Minnie Mouse balloon, get everyone in their party hats (or ears!) and spin some upbeat, kid-friendly tunes like the ones on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party CD.

Girls love pretending to be princesses and fairies, so give your birthday girl her own costume and hand out dress-up fashion accessories to each of her guests. Dressing up will be the hit of the party! Girls really go for fairytale princesses and girl heroines like Ariel, Tiana, Snow White, Belle, Cinderella and Tinker Bell!

Party favors and prizes go over best with girls when they’re bright, shiny and sparkly! Treat everyone to wildly fun bling like temporary tattoos and sassy party hats as soon as they arrive. Set up a "fashion station" so all the girls can glam it up with lip gloss, nail polish and hair accessories.

Girls adore crafts time and taking home something they’ve made themselves with their best girlfriends. It’s a game and prize in one! Use craft kits to create a fun favor bar that can serve as both a colorful table decoration and a practical way to organize the crafting materials. Jewelry-making is the perfect activity for a Hippie Chick themed party. What gesture could be more peaceful and loving than offering a friendship bracelet to your BFF?

Girls have a blast when they get into rock star mode. Set up a special spot in your party area to be the stage, then add a room roll for a dramatic backdrop for your performing stars. Hand them cute inflatable microphones and instruments so they can lip sync or play air guitar to their favorite songs.
