Pamper party for 12 year old

curlylou1986

what about getting cocktail glasses-sure i have seen plastic ones with the paperplates in asda, and getting cocktail umbrellas, and just adding food colouring to a jug of lemonade-then wont be too much to turn it different colour-liek making it pink, and add the cherry on a stick thing? that be good if they are getting pampered! ;like the idea about making bits-depends how difficult/messy you are prepared to get but then that way it a good thing they can take home with them could make up little party bags-but grown up ones! get plain brown paperbags, and do a print out of their names on them, and add some little bits in them as a grown up party pamper bag!

I had something similar when i was 14 (i think)

For entertainment you need a good girly dvd (age suitable of course)
withanything like doritios and dips, popcorn, maltesers, m and ms etc

To pamper i would suggest, manicures and pedicures, face masks, and lots of things for hair

for other ideas, when i was that age we used to make things like friendship bracelets, which would be fun; you could have something like kareoke, the girls could bake some cakes together with your help

what would be nice too (if u feel up to it) is to have a sleepover!!

I have realised that it's cheaper to buy a little present rather than do a goodie bag - it looks more and in my case I spent lots less!
How about also making non-alcoholic cocktails, or serving fizzy fruit juice.
Tell them to bring slippers and dressing gowns, then they can really feel like they are in the spa.
Have a fab time!

All the above tips sound fab and I thought I'd chip in to suggest looking for a free dvd trial and see if cash back via quidco etc is available. ~A dvd should keep the little princesses occupied inbetween "treatments!"

Also Asda have their own range of make up and they do some really funky nail varnishes (v bright colours!) for £1 each!!

I noticed in Tesco last night they had make-up sets, eye shadows, lips, nails etc, in there value range, £1 - £3 and thought of this thread

My daughter had a pamper type party at a similar age. I made up party bags with a sachet face pack, some nail polish, lipsticks etc (bought multiple packs and split them) and gave them the party bags over tea, then stuck on a DVD for them and they gave each other a fact mask and did each other's nails etc.

For tea I bought some pizza bases and laid out all the type of toppings they might want and let them make their own, followed by Glad's suggestion of a chocolate fountain with fruit and sweets. While they waited on the pizzas cooking they prepared and chopped the fruits so DIY all round

jamjar,

These are really great ideas, thank you so much.

When I dis this for DD2 we had a karaoke machine (borrowed) and her dance mat downstairs so those not being pampered were entertained and entertaining!
