Throw a Fashion Playtes Birthday Party!

At a loss of what to do for your daughter’s big day?  Sick of the usual trips to the town bowladrome or to the current Pixar film playing in theatres? Here’s a fun, creative, and mess-free way to make sure your daughter and her friends have a great time!  Host a birthday party for your daughter and her friends with Fashion Playtes!

We have a few ideas that can make your daughter’s birthday party into a complete fashion extravaganza that is age appropriate for your daughter and for her friends whether she’s turning 6 or 12!  Plus, we have a special BIRTHDAY offer: If you throw a birthday party with 5 guests, then the birthday girl will get a free t-shirt! Simply use the code “birthday100” and when you buy $120 in gift certificates, we will only charge you $100!  This is a great offer that lets each girl design her own Jane t-shirt!

To get everything ready for the day of the party, we recommend that you design the garments ahead of time and then premier them at the birthday party!  We recommend having all the girls over ahead of time, about a month before the party, so they can use their creativity to design their garment of choice.  Maybe one rainy weekend afternoon, or on a day off from school, the girls can all gather, and let the excitement develop as they design their garment of choice! 

All they have to do is: 1) Choose it 2) Design it 3) Wear it!

All you have to do is: 1) Set up a computer/laptop 2) Create an account with Fashion Playtes and keep all the girls signed into the account 3) Start by showing them how to pick and chose a garment- the Jane, a classic t-shirt that provides numerous design options, is a good choice 4) Show them the design wheel where they will be taken through the steps of choosing their shirt color, ribbons, ruffles and appliqués among several other design options to make their Jane t-shirt just as glamorous as they are! 5) Make sure they save their work to the collection 6) When all the garments are ready, add them all to the cart and check out using the gift certificate code.

In addition, we recommend including as the label the girl’s name, and also “6^th Birthday Party,” so this garment can be a long lasting memory for years to come!  For example- “Kate’s 6^th Birthday.”

The day of the Party: It’s Show Time!  Prepare a runway down a long hallway in your house, your living room area, or even in the driveway if it’s a nice day!  Watch your girls turn into models as they flaunt their own unique and custom made Fashion Playtes outfit!  Make sure you play paparazzi and snap photos of all the girls’ creative looks.  Have the birthday girl go last as the grand finale- of course while wearing a tiara!  Upload pictures of your girls in their Fashion Playtes outfits to our facebook page, or send us emails letting us know how much they loved their designs, and how much fun they had! You may even get a reward or a credit for future purchases based upon your testimonials!

To complete the party theme: If your girls are on the younger end, ages 5-8, choose some age appropriate activities that will compliment and expand upon their Fashion Playtes runway experience.  We suggest:

-         Having the girls design a custom Doll dress that matches or compliments their garments. 

-         Making plain cookies ahead of time, maybe the day before, and lay out different colored icing and sprinkles to keep the creativity flowing as they decorate their cookies however they like!

-         Letting them play paparazzi by setting out several disposable cameras so they can take fun pictures of one another in their Fashion Playtes outfits while they spend the day together doing different activities!

-         If the weather is nice, setting up a slip n’ slide in the yard!  However, make sure they are not wearing their Fashion Playtes outfit! Simply lay a tarp out in the yard and hose it down.

For your older girls: ages 9-12, they may not want to be playing with dolls… or, they may not admit that they want to; therefore, we have some fun ideas that will keep your girls smiling all day!

-         Lay out makeup, hair decorations, and nail polish, so they can be as glamorous as a runway model as they “strut their stuff on the catwalk!”

-         Set up music and play their favorite songs!  Video tape them dancing around so they can be documented in their very own music video while wearing their fashionable Fashion Playtes outfits!

-         Oversee them making some fun ice cream cone cupcakes!  They are very easy to make, and bring cupcakes to another level.  Your girls will love them!  We know we do!  Thanks to Nancy Douglas, here is a recipe to make these delicious and cute birthday ice cream cone cupcakes!

-         Girls this age would love a slip n’ slide as well because honestly, who doesn’t love a slip n’ slide, no matter what age!

Birthdays are meant to be fun with activities that your daughter and her girlfriends want to do.  With Fashion Playtes, your girls will get to express themselves by designing their own dream outfit, while saving you from carpooling down to the local mall!  Pick whatever option, or make modifications that you think will best suit you and your daughter and friends, on her special day! Start planning today!
