Birthday Party Ideas for 6 Year Old Girl

In the Company of Kids in Burnsville will do any theme party you'd like. They include costumes, games, activities, food . . . everything except the cake. We had a princess party for my daughter there and it was great.

In the past, we've rented a blow up jumper from our local rental business. It's a hit with everyone (including the adults)!

Hi J. -

My dtr is turning 6 this year too and we are planning a Diva Dance party. We made up the name . . . but she too is into dance, gymnastics, and dress up. We are incorporating all of that into one party. Similar to a spa party - we're doing hair, makeup, nails stations and then we plan to have the girls bring their favorite dress-up outfit for a little dance at the end. I plan to have a lot of volunteers so that we can have stations for the girls to get all dolled up. There are a ton of party websites out there so it's not that hard to find ideas. My dtr doesn't really know HSM or HM (she knows of them but hasn't watched it much so, to make it cheaper don't go with those theme items. Stick with generic. Good Luck!

My daughter went to a party at a friends house last year. She was into House of Rock and Hannah Montana. The mom did makeover's on the kids. She bought makeup, glitter, hair glitter, etc. and had the kids choose what they wanted done and did that for them. She had such a good time that this year we may consider that also! The age ranged from 3yrs-10years. There were a few boys there also but they had something different for the boys to wear. Have fun!

Lots of people have Karoki machines now - check around and see if you can borrow one of those and have the girls sing and give Hannah Montana concerts. My daughter will be 7 this year and her and her friends love doing that. In fact if you don't mind the mess - find some old make up and let them do their make up and find some old dress up clothes and they will go to town.
I recently found a the party store little manicure sets for like a $1.00 each - let them do each others toes!! This age girls can so easily find ways to laugh and have fun without a lot of money being spent. OH one thing we did last year that the girls loved - I got just a cheap blow up pool for the back yard - one that was just big enough for them to sit in really but I had picked up those foam sunvisors and got different craft stuff so they decorated their own visors. Turned on the sprinkler and they sat in the pool and ran through the sprinkler for a long time!! Have fun!

We went to a gymnastics center off the Brown Deer RD on 50ish st??? for his friend's party. It was so great!!! Now my soon to be 6 year old son want one there also. It was about $130 for 20 kids I think!!! Have fun!!!

Send out cut out megaphone invitations. Have the girls dress alike. ex. pink skirt/white t and tennis shoes with bobby socks. Hire 2 cheerleaders to come and teach them a cheer. Thank you cards could be a picture pose of your daughter and guest in a cheer pose. I did this for my daughter when she was 5. She's never forgotten it. Cheerleaders are a GREAT role model and make the party very exciting. Oh, their party favor was poms that matched the colors we chose for them to wear. I paid the cheerleaders 10 dollars and hour ea. They were there for an hour and a half.

you could try Libby Lu or Build a Bear at the MOA.

I know a gal that specifically does dance birthday parties (Ms Kathy) ###-###-####. She provides dance instructions and movement games at a studio in Richfield (~$150 for 75 minutes). Or she will come to your location (~$75 for hour).

My daughter went to a friend's party with Ms. Kathy and she got a cd with all the dance music, which has been played for a number of months following the event. In fact, it is our "clean house" music to get us all going.

Just another idea for consideration.

How about a tea party. Make a cake that looks like a teapot. Have finger sandwiches, a few games, and you can make goodie bags with necklaces, rings, etc. The kids could also make their own by using things from the craft store. I did this for my daughter's 6th birthday and it was a huge success. I got fabric bags and the girls painted them with fabric markers.

Have fun.

A little about me:
I'm a single mom of a wonderful 11 year old (about to be 12).

How about a good old fashioned party at home? My kids are grown, but their favorite parties were always the ones we had at home. You could plan a girly party, dress up, play makeup, do their nails, hair, etc. Just have plenty of clothes for them to use to dress up, then put on some music and let them dance. You could also then use "fancy" dishes and have a tea party or lunch. Decorate the party room, maybe plan a few games, but just let them make their own fun. Keep the party short, around 2 hours and they'll have a blast.

I agree...places like pump it up are way too expensive. Talk about setting the bar high for Birthday celebrations! But I have done that kind of thing, too. Gotta keep up with the expectations. :)

How about a cheerleading party? Network and find someone in your neighborhood/church etc. that is a high school cheerleader. Have her and a friend come over for an hour and teach them some cheers. (In their uniforms of course) Offer to pay them and it will be WAY cheaper than pump it up. You can buy them all inexpensive pompoms for a take home favor. Invitations can be hand made by you and your daughter. Wildcats invitations in red and black like HS musical? "Get Your Head in the Game for (your child's name)" Word play off of the song titles. (It is too early for me to be creative) Hit the dollar stores or dollar section at Target. They have all sorts of little stuff tht may spark your creativity. Have fun!

You could have a dance party or karaoke party using hannah montana or hsm cds. Give prizes for the best performances, maybe even provide dress up stuff for them to get in character. We just bought our 6yr old a hannah montana wig @ shopko for three bucks.
