Briana's 8th Monster High Spa/Fashion Diva Birthday Party

I don't want to toot my own horn, but Briana's party turned out pretty dang swell! LOL!

Briana told me months ago she wanted a spa party. A Monster High themed spa party to be exact. And she only wanted girls. Well, you'd think that wouldn't be too terribly difficult/complicated, right? Wrong - it totally was. I wasn't originally planning on having Bri's party at my home - I wanted to find a place to have it. Bri had gone to a great party several years ago at a really nice spa for young girls. After looking into it, I found out that place was closing its doors for good (sigh). Nothing else was close to my house. So, I had to scramble and find someone to come to my house. I researched and ended up finding a spa service for girls on the internet - and they were amazing!! I am beyond pleased.

Due to the type of party Bri wanted and the fact I hosted it at my house, I unfortunately could only invite about half the amount of kids I invited last year (that was so difficult).

I had 11 giggly girls, including the birthday girl, in my house - and that was plenty! :)

I knew the service would bring a number of supplies for the party, but I really wanted it Monster High'd up. So I bought some MH decorations on my own.

Here is the birthday girl showing off some of the decorating we did (before the service showed up)...

Yes, I found Bri a Monster High dress at T@rget. I couldn't believe it...

Cleared out family room (with Bri's playroom rug that worked perfectly)...

Cake table...

Gift table...

Snack island...

I found these bubble wand microphones at the dollar store - I knew they were pretty cool, but I didn't realize what a hit they would be...

Dolls in the bathroom (heh)...

Then these ladies (from the spa service) showed up to decorate and pamper (they were awesome)...

This is how they transformed my family room and it was adorable...

Spa/Monster High (with labeled party favors and water bottles)!!!

The place was set. We just needed the guests to arrive!

The party was split into three parts - the spa treatment came first, next came snacks and cake, and then it was time for makeup, dress up and a fashion show.

Next blog post - the spa treatment!
