Know the 2 Dallas Sisters Doing Hair/nails for Girls' Bday Parties? Party Ideas?

Hi, N.!

I agree...you are brave. lol But, I think it can be fun and fairly peaceable if you include activities, like you've planned.

I don't know the sisters you're talking about, but I have a dress-up party business which also includes a stuff-your-own-animal business (Noah's Ark Animal Workshop) and glamor party, where the girls keep the make-up (Bella Bee). You can check out my site at: www.EverAfterParties.com for more details about all of them.

I would love to work with you on something to plan for, even if just consulting. The animals we have are superb and super cuddly! The make-over parties are great for this age, and they learn about a certain value (friendship, for example) at the same time AND get to keep their make-up and accessory as a party favor! This would make for fun photos.

I also have a red carpet and karaoke machine/music I can bring, too. You can also combine the parties (make-over AND stuff-your-own-animal, for example.) I have lots of themes for the animal parties you can choose from for her age, including Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears!

Please, feel free to contact me via e-mail or Mamasource. Either way is fine.

I would skip the critter man personally, and only do a jump house if it is the climbing wall, obstacle course, etc. type- I would look for someone who would do nails and hair myself, or see if you have a mary kay consultant who would do a skin care and make up lesson. she might even hook you up with goodie bags of a FINE kind for a reasonable price if you invite the moms to that portion of the evening!

My daughter did an American Girl Spa Party for her 11th birthday, and it was a lot of fun- they did each others' nails, with some help from a teen friend, decorated the flip flops you wear after getting a pedicure, soaked their feet in a tub with a spa treatment in it, etcetera. There are a few salons who do these parties if you wanted to "go out" or maybe see if they would do a home party.

You are a brave woman! That's a lot of giggling girls! I don't know about the sisters, but you could rent a karaoke machine and some tapes of their favorite artists, which would probably include Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and others. Set up an area for a "stage" maybe. I wouldn't do any American Idol type thing where they judge each other, though - that can be harsh for that age. They should have a lot of fun singing in groups or individually. There are always the High School Musical movies and such that they might enjoy watching, with the popcorn and movie type snacks. They could play beauty shop with each other and fix hair - or if you know a couple of teenage girls that might want to earn a little cash, have them come do the nails and hair. Good luck!

I don't know about the hairdressers, but I think these girls are beyond jump houses. What about InterSkate in Lewisville?
