Beauty Theme Birthday Party Ideas

Decorations
Decorate the Beauty party in pinks, reds and touches of purple or blue.  Red or pink table cloths with glitter or confetti spread on the table.  (Cover with a clear plastic table cloth).  Pink and red streamers and helium balloons.  

Activities
Hair Styles - Have a parent style the girls hair.  For more fun check to see if a local beauty parlor will send a hairdresser to the party to give the girls updo's for a set price.
Paint Nails and Toenails
Facemasks - see our homemade spa recipes for some great facemasks.
Make funky flipflops as a craft - directions for funky flip flops.

Beauty Party Games
Nail Polish Birthday Spin Game
Place several colors of nail polish in the middle of a circle of girls.  Have the first girl spin a bottle of nail polish.  Who ever the cap is pointing to when it is done spinning must paint one of her fingernails that color.  Then that person spins the next color of nail polish .... and so on.  Paint your toes also to make the game last longer. 

Blind Make Over
The first person puts on a blindfold and does the makeup of the second person.  Then when they are done the second person puts on the blindfold and does the makeup of the third person.  Draw numbers to determine the order.  Really funny - take pictures so you can keep the memories. 

Guess and Win Game
Fill a see through jar with lots of small candies, nail polish, eye shadows, q-tips, hair ribbons, pony tail holders, jellybeans, skittles, marbles or rings. Count them before you put them into the jar. As the girls arrive for the birthday party have them guess how many toys or candies they think are in the jar. Write down each birthday party guest's guess. At the end of the birthday party reveal who guessed closest to the right number. The winner takes home a small prize, or the whole jar with its contents!

Don't say it!
Give out bead necklaces to each person as they arrive. tell them that if they say birthday at all through the party they have to give the person they said it to their beads. the person who has the most beads at the end of the party wins and gets a prize. (singing happy birthday does not count).
