Celebrate your daughter's birthday, with a Barbie party.
Barbie has remained a favorite toy for young girls for decades. Though she's known as a girly-girl, Barbie has had dozens of occupations over the years, including veterinarian, astronaut and even President of the United States. Mattel makes a number of accessories for a Barbie-themed party, such as plates and cups. Using these items, along with ideas for a Barbie-themed birthday party, help you throw a party that she won't soon forget. Does this Spark an idea?
Princess Barbie Party
Host a Barbie princess party, using Barbie dolls as decorations. Dress the dolls in princess dresses with full skirts and glitter. Carry over the theme in the birthday cake, using a Barbie doll placed inside the cake and using the cake as a princess dress for the doll. Buy tiaras or crowns for the girls and give each one their own crown, when they arrive at the party. Encourage the girls to bring their dolls, dressed in their best princess outfit and let the party guests vote on the best looking princess doll. Use lots of pink and white in your decorating scheme, to work with the princess theme.
Barbie Makeover Party
Throw a Barbie makeover themed party. Mattel makes full-size Barbie heads that come with makeup, hair supplies and accessories. Use a few of those heads, to show the girls the different makeup stations, including the hair station and the makeup station. Purchase cheap makeup and hair products from a dollar store and let the girls go wild with their makeovers. The girls can apply their own makeup or help each other with the makeovers. Make a series of awards, such as most colorful makeover, most professional makeover, best use of lipstick and others. Once the girls finish their makeovers, they vote on who gets each award.
Decorate Your Doll Party
Gather old Barbie clothing from thrift stores, yard sales and even your child's own toy box. Ask parents of party guests, to donate any old Barbie clothes that they have around the house. Divide the clothing into different sections, including casual wear and formal wear. Encourage the girls to bring their favorite doll to the party and makeover their doll. Include washable markers for "dying" the dolls' hair and glitter or cheap makeup, for decorating their faces. Take before and after photos of each doll and let the girls pick their favorite makeovers of the day.
