Glamor girl party My 6 year old daughter has always loved princesses, dress-up and make-up. For her last party, we asked a young teen-age girl ( a sister  of one of the guests) and her friend to come and do "glamour makeovers" for the princesses. These girls came equipped with curling irons, crimping irons, make-up, perfume and nail polish. They set up stations for hair, make-up and nails. Each girl stopped at each  station and got "made up". you should have seen the "up-does" on  their hair! The little girls loved the attention of the bigger girls, the  bigger girls really knew their stuff, and had a way better collection of  make-up than I do.  They loved experimenting on different faces, and  the girls all looked cute, not too overdone.  Theolder girls were working for free as a favor, but I did treat them to gift certificates to a favorite  store as payment. this was so inexpensive compared to a salon party. (By the way, we sort of set parameters with the teens prior to the  party-no eyeliner or mascara was allowed, but blush and shadow, lipgloss, etc. light colors, not too heavy on the make-up etc. )  I set out beads to make jewelry while each girl waited, along with the Pretty Pretty Princess game.  When everyone was done, we dressed up with jewels, boas,  etc. and took pictures. We had a teapot cake (made with cakes baked in 2 bowls check Partycentral.com for the directions..simple to make) I borrowed my mothers silver tea set and  we used fancy paper dishes and my tea cups with saucers to serve  lemonade or coolade from the teapot.  For favors, I found plastic crowns at our dollar store which each girl wore. I got cute small gift bags and found great stuff at the dollar store (scented bath gel 2 for $1,  and Walmart carries a line "bon bons" tiny nail polishes and lip glosses for under a dollar apiece. Added candy necklaces and ring pops.  We had 9 little girls, and it was the quietest party I have ever had,   they were completely enthralled and had a blast! It was such fun that my older daughter requested the same exact party for her 7 year old party. The older crew enjoyed it just as much.  I highly recommend  looking at babysitters, neighbors and older sisters of your children's  friends to be your party entertainers. They were great with the kids, took  gentle directions well, and really had fun too!
