My oldest daughter turned 9 recently and we decided to have a Pop Star themed party for her. I searched the internet for ideas and consulted with M and E leading up to the event and finally came up with what I thought was a Stellar Party.
Here's what I did:
Gift Bags: Each girl recieved a gift bag that included a boa (I bought really cheap ones from Michael's for $2 a piece because there were 7 girls invited), a pair of star shaped sunglasses, lip gloss and some Hannah Montana gear including a magnetic picture frame. The bags were given out as soon as each girl arrived so they could have their accessories. If I were to do it again I would definitely find more accessories, bangle bracelets, necklaces...maybe even some microphones.
Glam Station: This was run by my sister. The girls got to sit at the Glam Station and get their make-up done (bunch of glittery stuff) and then get sprayed down with glitter spray.
Photo Shoot: Each girl was given their own personal Photo Shoot in front of my homemade back drop. The back drop was soooo easy and turned out perfectly in the pictures. I bought a really cheap pink table cloth and pinned it up to the wall and put double sided tape on the back of some cardboard silver stars in various shapes and handed them to the kids who delightfully hung them on the back drop. One thing I would do differently here is not hang the back drop in our giant yellow room because it took way too much effort to de-orangify the way the back drop turned out. I was able to print out a picture for each girl to take home along with their magnetic picture frame.
Karaoke: Kind of self-explanatory, right? Luckily my niece owned a machine and plenty of Hannah Montana CDs.
Other Ideas I Just Didn't Have Time Or Funds To Pull Off:
Pop Star Trivia games, Dance-Off, Red Carpet set up outside....
I guess the possibilities are endless. I'd have to say that this is my most successful theme party yet!
