What is a kid\u2019s pamper party? <\/strong><\/p>\n A pamper party for kid\u2019s combines the traditional elements of a birthday party (cake, party bags, \u2026) along with certain treatments (and look alike treatments) of an adult pamper party. For example, a manicure, temporary glitter tattoos and more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s\ndive right into everything you need to know for hosting a kid\u2019s pamper party at\nhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When planning a pamper party, all the usual planning advice\napplies. You can find all the tips listed in our kids\u2019\nparty checklist<\/a> and in our stress-free\nparty planning system<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Planning is a big word (but \u201cschedule\u201d sounds worse). However,\nhere is a basic structure you might want to follow. It\u2019s a party so you\u2019ll\nprobably keep it loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, this is just a basic layout. You\u2019ll want to adjust it depending on your start time, whether you\u2019re planning a full meal or just a cake and the age of the guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re also going to want to get help on the day. Getting an\nextra adult to help out never goes a miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro-tip<\/strong>: If you\u2019re hosting younger guests (below 6), you\ndon\u2019t want to make the party too long. Keep it short and sweet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When planning a pamper party for kids, the first thing you want to consider is the age group. Different age groups will naturally have different expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we\u2019re going to separate them into two groups: the pre-teens (4 to 12) and the teenagers (12+ ); In the next section, we\u2019ve added a tag to make it easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However,\nit\u2019s important to remember that every child is different. We\u2019re just using\nthese sections as a rule thumb. You\u2019ll want to adjust your party according to\nyour child\u2019s unique needs and preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If space\npermits, you\u2019ll want to have a separate space dedicated to pampering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Among other things, it allows you to prepare the table for the food ahead of time and not during the event. As a parent, the less you have to do on the day, the happier and more relaxed you\u2019ll be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The pamper space should also be easy to clean. This is especially important for younger kids; No one wants nail polish stains on the sofa. For example, if the weather permits, you can have the pamper space inside and the food in the garden afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have two spaces, you can make it work with one. It\u2019s just a bit more tricky. Alternatively, you can consider hosting the party in a kid\u2019s pamper party venue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you have the structure organised, it’s time to plan the actual party! <\/p>\n\n\n\n pre-teens<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Party\nthemes are a must for younger groups. Among other things, it will help dictate\nwhat the decorations are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideally,\nyou want to choose a theme that ties in naturally with Pampering. But any theme\nwill work. If in doubt we recommend sticking to a princess theme. It will be\neasier to find themed decorations & it\u2019s sure to be a hit with the guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n pre-teens<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When\nyou\u2019re young, there\u2019s something really special about party decorations. It\nmakes the day more magical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At PartyWizz, we usually recommend to keep it simple. Everything you put up will need to be taken down! The key is that you want a nicely decorated table, a few wall decorations (banners and so on) and a few balloons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can buy these decorations in most supermarkets. Alternatively, if you\u2019re hand\u2019s on you can make some at home with the kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n pre-teens & teens<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, the whole point of a pamper party is the pampering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The treatments you plan will depend entirely on the age group. Once again, every child is different. This is just a rough breakdown by age group. You\u2019ll want to adjust the treatments accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are\na few common treatments you can do: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Younger\nGroups<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teenage\nGroups <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\ndo these at home, or you can hire an entertainer for the occasion. The benefit\nis that they will have all the equipment and the products needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n pre-teens & teens<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to plan a few activities. Remember, as you\u2019re already planning the pampering, the schedule will already be fairly full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pamper Party Entertainer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you book a pamper party entertainer<\/a>, they\u2019ll usually have activities that they will do with the kids. That\u2019s probably all you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Party Games<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a\nparty, so you\u2019ll probably want to play some party games. For some inspiration,\nyou can check out some of our favourite classic kid\u2019s party games<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can theme most games to match your party theme. If you\u2019re doing a princess-themed party, you can find a few ideas in our article on planning a princess party.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fancy\nDress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For younger groups, wearing costumes will definitely add to the fun. A princess costume is an obvious choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Slumber\nParty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hosting a\nslumber party along with the pamper party is a classic combo. You can view some\ngreat tips in our separate article about planning a sleepover party.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n pre-teens & teens<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The key is to plan food that\u2019s easy to prepare and easy to eat. For some ideas, you can check out our article on planning kids party foods<\/a>. Then, theme your food to match your princess party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also want to plan a few pamper party foods. Pinterest is always full of great ideas, but to get you started we\u2019ve listed a few of our favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate fountain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate with some fresh fruit makes for unforgettable party food. If you hire an entertainer<\/a>, this is something that some of them provide directly which means there is no planning hassle for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Popcorn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An easy party favourite. Especially if you\u2019re hosting a slumber party and you\u2019re wrapping up the evening with a movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ice Cream<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you’re a kid, nothing is better than ice cream. Especially during those (rare) sunny days in Ireland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You most likely\nwon\u2019t find ready-made pamper party invitations in the store but you\u2019ll easily\nfind suitable ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\nhave the time, you can also make invitations at home.
