Tween Pamper Party Ideas
Sometimes finding just the right theme for a ‘Tween’ birthday girl can be a hard task. They are soooooo over Dora and Hello Kitty but are not quite ready for the boy/girl teen parties. What to do, what to do?! My dear friend, Val, came up with the perfect solution—on a budget. A Tween Pamper Party!
Imagine being nine, walking into a party, and seeing this. {Giddy}! Personalized pamper baskets!
But first, some ‘grown-up’ food for the ‘grown-up’ girls.
Then, these girls were ready to be pampered.
The personalized pamper baskets doubled as mini pedi-spas.
followed by facials…
and then a ‘much-needed soak’ in the hot tub.
I can only imagine being nine and feeling completely pampered from head to toe. These girls are having the time of their lives at this tween pamper party. This is bound to be an experience they will remember.
Sheesh, I think I might throw an adult pamper party. I could use chocolate, a pedicure, facial, and long soak in the hot tub!
Let’s meet the face behind this Tween Pamper Party, Val.
FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT VAL {provided by her little sister Mikelle}:
1. Val’s favorite show of all time is Little House on the Prarie.
2. She is very optimistic. She always looks at the cup half full.
3. She NEVER EVER follows a recipe.
4. Val absolutely loves being a mom {and does it extremely gracefully}. She has five children and would probably have five more if her husband would let her.
5. Val is constantly doing hair, nails, and makeup.
SUPERHERO POWER WANTED:
Elimination of laundry. After world peace,… of course.

Val, next time you throw a tween pamper party, could you please put me on the guest list?

Peggy says
What an absolutely great idea! Now… where to find the girls? ha ha (I live in an all male household!)
Any tween boy ideas??? Or for a 15 year old boy? Or an 18 year old boy? (all coming up within 1 to 10 months…)

Peggy, For my teenage sons party, I did a Fajita bar. My friend and I cooked chicken, steak, beef, peppers, onions, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, tortillas, homemade canned salsa, chips, cheese dip, etc. Teenage boys can eat and eat and eat, so I made lots and they ate if for dinner. I left it out for a while after they eat, since they like to graze too (and I didn’t want them coming down the stairs at 2 am for a snack run and interrupt my sleep). Then they went upstairs and played video games until they went to sleep. It was a huge hit and SO much cheaper than taking them all to a Mexican restaurant.
Missy says
I want to come to the party, too! How fun!

I am not sure where Val got her party supplies, but I purchased VERY similar green buckets at Dollar Tree around Christmas. I actually personalized them and filled them with classroom supplies for teacher gifts. Love the pedi party idea too!! I have 3 daughters so I forsee many pamper parties in our future!

Can you please share where you found the tubs at? And what font was used!! 🙂

Can anyone tell me how you customized the girls name on the plastic tubs?

I know you can buy printable stickers not sure if that’s how she did it and then you print it out on your computer and stick it on whatever you want.
