Girls Birthday Parties

When it comes to girls birthday parties, you can indulge the dream of every little princess or pop besotted teenager. For little girls who love pink, the sky is the limit with every theme available from princesses with pink tiaras and gowns to pink poodle making with all the pink accessories you can imagine.

To organise successful girls birthday parties, choose your theme first and then develop it. It could be a princess party, film star party, teddy bear’s picnic party, but whatever you choose, try and theme everything from games to tableware for the best of parties. If you can’t face the hassle of girls birthday parties, why not arrange for an entertainer to come and run the party for you, so all you need do is sit back and enjoy the fun with a glass of wine while she or he does all the hard work.

One of the most popular girls birthday parties has always been the pyjama or sleepover party. Older and younger girls enjoy the prospect of a midnight feast and keeping parents awake right into the early hours of the morning. Younger children would enjoy a bear-making party and could always dress the bears for night time in sleepsuit or dressing gown. They can then take their bears to bed with them – you never know it might help them sleep a little earlier! Older kids enjoy a video and takeaway before tucking down for the night and chatting into the small hours.

The food is often a concern at girls birthday parties as some children particularly the younger ones can be fussy about what they eat. Don’t forget to offer a selection of healthy nibbles such as carrots, cucumber and dips and low fat, low salt crisps as well as the usual party indulgences.

Traditional games are still a great standby for girls birthday parties particularly pass the parcel, blind man’s buff etc. You could opt for more sophisticated activities such as a quiz or treasure hunt with clues to solve en route. Always try and take the lead from your child about what she really wants and don’t try and pressurise her into the girls birthday parties which you feel she should have.

Above all have fun with the girls whatever girls birthday parties you organise. Some may be better than others, but you learn from your mistakes and by the time they become teenagers and run their own girls birthday parties, you could well be the party expert other mums look to for advice!
