  • Include a selection of pretty beads to make friendship bracelets. Have each girl make and exchange bracelets and make something special for the birthday girl.
  • Create a princess makeover station where girls can get temporary glittery tattoos, sparkly nail polish and the works.

Party Favors

  • Buy a length of pink taffeta at a fabric store; cut into squares.  Place kids nail polish and kid-safe cosmetics in the center; pull the corners up to form a bag and tie with narrow pink satin ribbon.  Favors can double as table decorations along with iridescent glitter confetti.
