Dress Up Birthday Party Invitations
For a dress up birthday party teeming with glamorous guests, consider one of these invitation ideas.
- Design a press release. "Don't miss the action! Premier gala event to take place at (location) for (name)'s birthday party! Be backstage by (time) on (date). Dress stunningly! By invitation only!"
- Perhaps a formal invitation is in order? "Please join us for the occasion of (name)'s (age) birthday party. Location: (address). Time: (time). Date: (date). Please wear formal attire. Attendance by invitation only."
- Alternatively, try this one: "Get ready to rock the runway! We're throwing a fashion show in honor of (name), so wear your most smokin' gear for your time in the spotlight!" Add event details: date, time, and location.

Dress Up Party Decorations
Fashion party guests will feel like Hollywood royalty when they are greeted with a red carpet outside! Lead them right up to the door. Place a strobe light at the entry to mimic the flash of cameras as they enter the glamour of this exclusive dress up birthday party event!
Inside, let a runway take center stage. Use a line of disposable table cloths or a sheet if you have one. Alternatively, mark the runway edges by a rope made of streamers or balloons. Line the walkway at ground level with yellow or white balloons to create the illusion of a line of lights.
Create a balloon archway at the start of the runway, using pink, purple, or white to match the dress up birthday party theme décor. Hang at least two sheets or plastic tablecloths behind the archway to create a curtain for each girl's dramatic entrance.
Over the runway setup, hang a Fashion Angels personalized birthday banner. It's the premier way to make the birthday girl the star of this teen fashion party!
Set up several small tables throughout the rest of the room. Each will serve multiple purposes, including acting as the "backstage" area, dining tables, and as preferred seating when the show begins. Cover each one with a flowing pink tablecover and surround it with two or three chairs.
For "backstage" at your teen girl birthday event, use the tables for hair, nails, and makeup. Set up plenty of mirror so the girls can fix one another up. When it's time for the show, the audience can sit at the tables just as they do for real runway fashion shows. Finally, when it's time for dinner service, seat guests at these tables, restaurant-style.
To set the table, use place settings from the Fashion Angels deluxe pack. Use the included table cloth and centerpiece on a main buffet table, while the smaller tables serve as dining tables. The set comes with service for eight guests, including place mats, cups, napkins, plates, and cutlery. Supplies are available for additional guests.
You can't overdo it when it comes to streamers, balloons, and confetti at a gala event, so use them liberally all over the room. These festive touches are easy, inexpensive ways to amp up the party atmosphere.

Dress Up Birthday Party Costumes
Dressing up is so fun to do! When you consider homemade costumer ideas for kids, especially girls, this can cover so much ground. Help them to create something fun and memorable using what you have in the house. Give them long scarves and colorful clothes and let them dress as a gypsy. Give them some fun accessories, lots of glitter, and sunglasses and let them dress up as their favorite Hollywood celebrity. The best thing about this theme and party is that dressing up is the main event and they can really use their imagination. As a parent, the fun part is that you can use whatever you have in the house to dress them for a fun time!
For a great fashion show, have plenty of outfits on hand for the girls to change in to. If you have one, a clothing rack is a real back-stage accessory and the perfect place to hang extra clothes. (If not, make one with a rope and a couple of chairs or pile clothes on a table).
Invite the girls to bring extra outfits to share, or raid your own closet. Alternatively, you can head to the thrift store. It is the ideal place to obtain inexpensive clothing – oftentimes very expensive, high end outfits which are sure to delight your guests! Complete your collection of fashionable girls' teenage party ideas with plenty of shoes and other accessories. Hats, sunglasses, feather boas, and costume jewelry are all essential to a walk down the runway.

Dress Up Party Icebreaker Activities
Dress for Glam
Kids simply love to dress up, especially little girls—and this works well for a dress up party icebreaker type of party and event! You can invite girls to dress up as glamorous as they can and give them everything that they need to do so. This is easy enough if you just invite the girls to dress for glamour and glitter because it's as simple as letting them come in their favorite attire. Then the girls can ooh and aah over the beautiful gowns, the tiaras, the boas, and any other accessories that the girls adorn. This can be as simple as pulling from the dress up clothes bin, but yet the girls will just love a special occasion where they get to dress up for!
Pretty, Pretty Princess
Let each of the little girls at the party embrace their inner princess at this fun and easy to plan for dress up party icebreaker. Give the girls everything that they need to dress like a fairy princess–and have plenty of it on hand! Give them crowns, beautiful dresses that they can dress up in, wings, jewelry, and even play makeup. Then create a beautiful special occasion that they can all sit down for such as a tea party, except make it somewhat real in this instance. Give them special princess plates, beautiful tea cups, and of course special little princess munchies that they can enjoy with their little girl friends. This is not hard to pull off but the kids will love to embrace their inner princess!
Dress for a Theme
When you think of a dress up party, you think of certain themes. If you want to keep it stuck to a special theme, then by all means invite the girls to embrace this dress up party icebreaker. Give them a special theme such as Hollywood star, pirate princess, or even something more specific like Dora. Then have the girls all come dressed for the theme and set out special activities that work with these. You don't even need much in the way of special activities because the girls will get such a kick out of dressing like their favorite themed character that will be fun enough. The girls will love to admire each other and how beautifully they are dressed and really that's what a dress up party is all about now, isn't it?
Create the Dress Up Fun
You can let the girls dress up as the big dress up party icebreaker and let that be the activity and the theme because that's all you need. Have out racks of dress up clothes and let them dress up as anything from a sailor to a clown to a princess, and anything in between. Invite the girls to pick something creative and out of the box for them, and be sure to help them. Then give them what they need in the way of dress up such as mirrors, instant cameras, and ways to enjoy this special party and these special moments. The main feature of this party is the dress up theme with all of the fun accessories, and that's all the girls need for a day of fun. Have them come to the table for snacks dressed up as their favorite character and then be sure to get plenty of pictures!
