Attn: Mom - Donation Station Birthday Idea

Are you a mother that worries that your daughter is turning into a “Material Girl?” Is your daughter more concerned with a name brand of clothing vs. the color? Is your daughter more excited about birthday gifts than her birthday party with friends? Does your daughter have a room full of things and seems to always ask for something new? Are you concerned?

True Club Z girls of course, love the finer things in life but believe that no one should be without and know that their best accessory any girl can own is her ability to give from the heart.

This year turn your daughters’ birthday into an opportunity to teach her how to give.
Start out by requesting on your party invitation that all gifts be donated to your daughters’ favorite charity such as the humane society or local orphanage.

If you think this is too extreme, have your daughter go through her room and sort through her toys, clothes, handbags, accessories and pile up the ones that she has not worn or used in the past few months. Now take your daughter to the local orphanage, women’s shelter or other children’s charity to drop off your donation.

What a wonderful Birthday gift of love for your daughter to give and to receive this year.

Attn: Mom – Slumber Party Road Trip Ideas

Filed under: Slumber Party Ideas, Slumber Party Activities, For Mom's Only: Slumber Party Planning — zDiva February 15, 2007 @ 6:42 am

Does the thought of having a group of squealing, giggling precious slumber party divas cooped up in your house all night long scare the living daylights out of you?  Don’t worry; you can still host a Rockin’ Slumber Party – Road Trip Style.

I have listed a few Road Trip ideas to consider before your next Slumber Party:

  • Take the girls to late night disco bowling

  • Take the girls on a scavenger hunt hitting the houses of all the little boys in class that your daughters are soooo in love with.

  • Take the Girls Roller Skating

  • After the girls do their glam makeovers, pile in the car and head to the local ice cream shop.

  • If the girls promise to keep the volume at a minimum, drive to the nearest Starbucks for hot chocolate (caffeine loaded mochas are the last thing you will want to give these party divas) and a game of truth or dare.  Watch how embarrassed the girls will get when they are dared to stand on one foot and sing “I’m a little Tea Pot” in front of a crowd of coffee drinkers.  Again…..volume at a minimum is a must so as not to upset other customers.

  • Drive to dinner at a Magic Time Machine or similar character restaurant

 

  • Take the girls to a late night Nail Shop for a basic Manicure or Pedicure

 

  • After dark, head to the local park and spread out a blanket and tell ghost stories by candle light. Really want to spook ‘em? Do this in a cemetery.  This is only recommended for older girls. The last thing you want is a group of party girls crying in the middle of the night with nightmares.

  • Live near the beach? Take the girls to the beach for a castle making contest by moonlight.

  • Don’t have a pool but have a friend that does? Ask if you can use their private pool and take the girls for a swim fest after dark.

  • Wish it was warm enough for a swim in the pool but instead of sunshine and warm temperatures you have chilly weather and snow? Fantastic, take the girls to the local park for a moonlight snowball fight or for a little snow-woman making. They will be so ready for their Hot Girls Cocoa after this adventure!

Hollywood Star – Slumber Party Theme Idea

One of my slumber party secrets is that I have always wanted to go to Hollywood to see the sights and pretend for just one day that I am a Hollywood Diva. I want the lights, the cameras and of course the action. If you have your own wanna-be superstar with an upcoming birthday, why not throw a Hollywood Star Slumber Party Theme?

Let’s start with the Invitations. You could have the invitation as a cut out Oscar award or an old fashion movie camera. A fun invitation will set the tone for the Hollywood Slumber Party. Be sure to request in the invite that the Party Girls come dressed in their Hollywood party best. Think Gorgeous! Think Fabulous!

With a fun night planned, the RSVP’s are sure to be positive and you need to prepare yourself of a houseful of Hollywood Divas. Think of your Slumber Party as the Premier to the next year of life. How exciting!

What would a Hollywood premier be without a red carpet? It just wouldn’t be right! With this in mind ,you will want to line your walkway or your entrance with red felt for a dramatic red carpet Hollywood effect. If you really want to go all out, have family and friends stand outside with cameras to take pictures as each girl walks up to your home. You could even have a big sister or an adult girl-friend with a microphone stopping the girls as they walk up to the house and asking for interviews. They could for instance, ask the girls: What they are most looking forward to at the slumber party? What they love most about the Birthday Girl? If they were allowed to bring a date, who would they have brought? For the full affect, have someone film the interviews. You can always turn the footage into great mementos to give the party girls on CD.

You will of course want to give your Birthday Girl a special gift. How about a Special Diva Directors Chair?  Go all out and have her name painted in a fun color or glitter. If you are smart, you will get a color scheme to match her bedroom so she can enjoy the gift not only at the Hollywood Slumber party but also for years to come.

You just can’t have a slumber party without an uber cool craft. Stick with the theme of Hollywood and decorate cardboard clapboards.  (You know, black and white stripes…someone shouting, “Scene 1; Take 3).

Another fun Hollywood craft that is always a hit is a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Tile. Simply cut out a square cardboard tile and a star.  Make sure the star is big enough for each girl to write in her name and decorate. Glue the star cut out to the square tile and let the girls finish it off decorating with glitter paint and stick-on rhinestones. When the girls are done punch holes into the corners of each square tile and loop ribbon up through the back side of one punched hole and push through the other punched hole. Tie together in a cute bow for a great wall hanging.  The girls are sure to love their new bedroom décor!

Every Slumber Party Girl will be looking forward to her Slumber Party Favor Hollywood Awards bag to include all things Hollywood girls love. Think fun sunglasses, scarves, make-up, nail polish, mani /pedi kits. Usually three items per bag are more than enough to make the party girls squeal.

All of the fun and squealing is sure to work up appetites. Think simple and fun with a Hollywood menu of Award Winner Mocktails and Pizza Masterpieces.

For the Mocktails simply pull out your champagne glasses and edge each rim with pink colored sugar. Pour in equal amounts of cranberry juice and ginger ale for a bubbly, colorful concoction.

As for the Pizza masterpieces, encourage the girls to channel their inner Wolfgang and create their own pizza. Simply put out individual pizza dough on paper plates along with an assortment of pizza toppings and let the girls go to work. Bake and eat, but don’t forget to take pictures of all the fun!

For desert, you just have to go with cupcakes. Birthday cake is so last year! Ice them yourself with fun Hollywood star decorations or simply bake and let the girls ice and decorate their own.

The girls will of course entertain themselves but if you really want to set the night apart and have the Slumber Party of the year, you will consider a few of our Slumber Party Game Ideas.

This one is one of my favorites and my party girls always ask to play it a second time.

Make two piles of the same type of clothing such as skirts, socks, jackets, earmuffs, hats, etc.  Divide the Slumber Party girls into two teams. Have the teams’ line up single file on the opposite side of the room than the pile of clothes. The first girl in line is to run to the pile of clothes and put on all of the extra clothes and then take them off again and run back to the team line for the second person in line to do the same making a relay. The team that dresses and undresses the fastest wins the game.

The girls really giggle and laugh when an extra large bra or teeny tiny bikini is included in the pile.

Be sure to have the latest Rock Star Teen Scene Music DVD playing to keep the tempo hoppin’.

After the Slumber Party Girls are finished playing the Dress up relay, have the girls rummage through the clothes and come up with different characters and create their very own Hollywood movie skit. You as the hostess can have the video camera and can film the award winning movie.

After the excitement, snacks, games and so much laughter, the girls are sure to be worn out.

It is now time to give your self a big High Five for throwing the most Awesome Hollywood Star Slumber party Ever!

You Go Girl!
