My daughter just celebrated her 7th birthday party and it was a definite party to remember! We all had so much fun and the party was the talk of the neighborhood because of all the fun everyone had, including the adults.
Hannah is very into music and pop stars right now. She is a huge fan of Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and so many more. We have always tried to be creative and do more than just select premade party supplies and this year was no exception.
For décor, we went with a black and white zebra print with hot pink accents. These were the colors for the tablecloths, plates, napkins and even the invitations. This gave us a very hip pop star feel. For drinks, I purchased plastic champagne flutes for the girls to drink sprite out of and they loved toasting with these.
I set up tables for the girls to visit to get glammed up for the party. One table was set up to do nails. They were able to choose from many fun colors and we added nail stickers and glitter to make them sparkle. They also visited a makeup table where my neighbor gave them super glam makeup which involved a whole lot of glitter. Next was the hair salon. At this table the girls had their hair fixed into fun updo’s and sprayed with silver glitter hairspray. After all the tables were visited they were ready to perform.
I set up a stage for the girls to have a concert on and it was super easy and the hit of the party. I cleared out our dining room so there was enough room for dancing. I bought 4 black plastic tablecloths at the dollar store and hung them on the wall to create the backdrop of a stage. I then hung some shear white curtains across the room to give the look of opening curtains. I purchased pink and white lights to hang behind the shear curtains to give it a true concert feel. I purchased some silver paper stars at a party store and placed them on the black tablecloths and voila! It was the perfect stage for lots of singing and dancing. I had also found cheap plastic microphones that they used during their performances and they all had a blast! Even the parents had a great time and got into the singing and dancing.
This was by far one of the cheapest parties I have ever put together and it was by far the most fun!
Have fun thinking of ideas for your child’s next birthday party!
