Having a girls only party is a great opportunity to make everything super pretty. It’s a time to get out those pom pom decorations, learn how to make a tissue paper garland and include lots of pretty colors.

Start with a party backdrop to set the scene. Use the best 3 colors you want to feature in your party and use these in the backdrop.

Girls love dressing up, so encourage guests to dress up where they can. It might be the perfect opportunity to wear their Princess dress or tea party dress. 

Why not have a dress up station. You could provide some nail polish, make up and props and allow the girls to pamper each other. They could then take photos in a photo booth.
