When my daughter requested a 'make-up' party for her 5th birthday, this was not the theme I was hoping to hear from her at such a young age!! But keeping in mind her age and her love of princesses (and all things girly) this was the 'Princess Makeover Party' I came up with....
 |
| The Princess Beauty Salon! |
The party room was organised with tables for a 'Princess Beauty Salon' - lots of hair accessories and play make-up were added to boxes next to each styling doll. Also tied to each chair a beauticians uniform for each guest to wear.
Beyond the 'Princess Salon' were 4 lifesize princess cutouts stands (shapes cut from mdf). Each cutout had dressing up accessories attached via velcro spots and this enabled the girls to take the accessories and dress-up as a princess. The velcro dots were also great for enabling the children to return the accessories and actually dress-up the cutouts again and again!

The dessert table within the party room was to resemble a princess dressing table. It was filled with pastel pink and green goodies!! The pink chocolate princess slippers were a big hit with the girls!

Closer details.....
Instead of a birthday cake I opted for individual cupcakes and made toppers to turn the simple cupcakes into princesses.
I found a very cute second hand dressing table and decorated this as a favour table. Candy handbags could be filled with lots of treats, including personalised chocolate bars and a candy lipstick. The drawers of the dressing table also contained further play jewellery, feather boas and dress up items. Next to the dressing table was my favourite feature, a basket filled with to pink poodles for the little princesses to 'Pick a Pooch'!

With the age range of the four guests 2 years to 8years - this theme worked really well, accessible to all age groups. The girls really enjoyed the activities - particularly their 'Salon'! - Some very interesting hair styles created!!!
I added in a few of my own basic party snaps to this post but have to say a big thank you to
