INVITATIONS
Your local scrap booking center will have die-cut machines available for your use. Cut purses, shoes, star or heart shapes. Decorate with glitter glue around the edges. Use a bright gel pen to write your message and party information. For a special touch, hand deliver invitations tied to a lip gloss or nail polish.

DRESS-UP PARTY DECORATIONS
Glam and glitter are in order for this party.
Drape and hang lots of streamers and balloons, add some feather boas. Drape your furniture with fun fabric or sheets.
Place mirrors in the party room for fashion fun activities.
Dress up your party table with a matching Fashionista
table cover, plates etc. Scatter sequins all around the table. Make a centerpiece with a bouquet of balloons tied to the handle of an inexpensive matching purse. This Fashionista cupcake holder will also serve as a festive centerpiece.

SPECIAL WELCOME
Upon arrival give the girls a fun but simple make-over with the help of a another adult/teen or two. You'll want to have enough help so that the waiting time is minimal.
Then let the girls select special hats, feather boa's or some other fun fashion statement. Play some dance music, as the girls do a "fashion show" and announce each girls name.
Tip: You can collect some fun and inexpensive clothing from you local thrift store, your own closets and friends as well.

MAKE AND TAKE BODY GLITTER
Girls can mix their own body glitter with this simple recipe.
You'll Need
cup aloe vera gel
fine polyester glitter (any color, available at most craft stores)
One small cosmetic travel container for each girl -the kind you might put hand cream in with a screw top.
To Make: Fill the containers 1/4 full with aloe gel.
Pour a small amount of glitter in the container. Provide wood craft sticks or plastic coffee stir straws to the girls for mixing. Add more gel until the mix is complete. Close the lid. Decorate sticker labels with gel pens and attach it to the container.

PASS THE PURSE
Play like Hot Potato - Before the party pick up a purse at a thrift store. Let the birthday girl help you "fix it up" with
glitter and other accessories. Place some play jewelry, candy
and stickers in the purse before the party.
To play: Players form a circle. The purse is passed from player to player while music is playing. When the music stops, the player who has the purse opens it up to receive a treat and then sits in the center or takes control of the music. Stops should be made frequently so the game moves quickly and players will not be out for a long period.

GIRL'S ON THE MOVE
Play some kid friendly dance music and let the girls create their own moves and dance steps. Can they come up with a routine to do together? - don't forget your video camera.
Variation-Enlist a teenager or hire a dance teacher to give
a dance lesson.

DRESS-UP FASHION CRAFT IDEAS
Use stick on jewels, glitter glue and gel pens to make any of the following items:
Decorate picture frames and take a digital or Polaroid
snapshot for the girls to take home.
Use small canvas bags (craft store) to make purses.
Decorate a small wood or foam framed mirror.
Decorate pre-cut foam door hangers (craft store).
