Come on dollie, let’s go party
At Glass Palace Parties, we believe that every moment is an opportunity to create magical memories that will last a lifetime. We provide services to princess parties in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. With our one-hour Fashion Party package, you can enjoy all the excitement and sparkle of a dreamhouse experience in the comfort of your own home or venue space!
There are lots of ways to customize this booking to fit your party vision and we are here to help! Nothing big planned… just a giant blowout party with all the dollies, make overs, and planned choreography. Get ready to strut down the runway and strike a pose with a feather boa and props! Below is a loose schedule of what the Fashion Doll will follow. Of course we will adapt and change this in real time to fit the birthday girl's wants and needs on her special day so it may not be in the exact order.
Party Schedule
Character arrival: Your doll will call you when she is on the way and text you when she has arrived. She will park a few houses down or in an inconspicuous location so that the children do not see her entering and exiting her car. If you’d like her to knock or walk in to music, that is completely up to you! Please let the character know any special arrival instructions the day of the booking. Get your cameras ready! This is almost always when you will get the best photos of hugs and surprised faces! If your little one is a bit shy, please do not worry. We will get lots of pictures throughout the party.
Pink Photo Opportunity: While you will be able to capture the magic moments throughout the party, it is best to start with posed photos. Please guide your character to the location that you would like to take photos in front of. Sometimes this is the cake table or a backdrop that you have set up. One popular item for photos is a giant doll box! They will then take individual photos, starting with the birthday girl. Your Fashion Doll will bring autograph cards and sign her name on one for each child to take home.
Coloring: This is listed as an optional filler. It completely depends on a few factors like the party atmosphere, how many kids there are, if the kids need more time to warm up, etc. on if we will bring out the color sheets. If color sheets are important to you or your little ones, simply let us know and we will make sure they are in the set list! We will often bring them out at this time to entertain kids that are waiting to get their glitter. Your party may have other entertainment aspects, like a bouncy house, and that is fine too!
Glitter Bar: Everyone gets to sparkle and shine with our glitter station! Children (and adults!) can add a touch of magic to their look by adding one of glitter color options as a fun and festive way to embrace their inner sparkle. The glitter is made with aloe vera but if your little ones can’t use aloe, please let us know in your Pre-Party Questionnaire and we will make sure they have an alternative. We will also have glitter nail polish and temporary tattoos.
Dance Party: Get ready to sing and dance to the songs you all know and love! The doll will have a set list of songs but if you have any special requests, please make sure we know at least one week before the party in your Pre-Party Questionnaire. Our characters do not have live singing into a microphone. Instead, they will be engaging the kids and interacting with them. They will do iconic moves, dreamy twirls, and will encourage your little ones to follow along with them! Holding hands and dancing in a circle is also a crowd pleasing moment full of excited giggles and happy smiles!
Take your party to the next level with optional dance lessons led the Fashion Doll to the song “Barbie Girl!” This is an easy to follow along, repetitive combo. It is super cute and all ages are welcome to join in, including the adults! We do try to do this at every party but sometimes there are some personalities or age limitations that it may not be a good fit for. Please let us know if you’d like this included in your Pre-Party Questionnaire.
Fashion Show: Calling all dollies to the runway! Your character will bring a bag of props with feather boas and a pink sparkly runway for them to walk down. Please note all props and boas will be returned to the box at the end of the fashion show. Get your cameras ready for these fashionistas! Once everyone is all dolled up, they will walk down the runway and strike a pose! The birthday girl will get to keep one pair of heart shaped sunglasses as her birthday gift.
The Happy Birthday Song: Gather around as we shower the birthday girl with love and well wishes, making them feel like the star of the show. Your Fashion Doll will stand near the birthday girl and lead the room in singing so that you can focus on getting photos/videos. If you want to add on your own traditional song after, please do so! We love to experience all of the ways families in DC, Maryland, and Virginia celebrate birthdays.
Dollie Departure: It is sadly time for your Fashion Doll to make her exit from your celebration! She will tell all of the little ones goodbye and get one last hug from the birthday girl. This is a great time to pass out cake and food or to start presents to distract everyone from her departure. Please walk your character to the door and she will be on her way back to her dreamhouse in a land far, far away!
Customization
We have many magical customization options that you can choose from inside your Party Proposal at any time! These will be automatically added to your invoice when you make selections.
Stylish Sunnies: Add on heart shaped sunglasses as a trinket for all the dollies! Comes with 12 pairs. Note: ONE pair of sunglasses is included in this package for the birthday girl.
Friendship Bracelets: This includes enough beads and string for up to 12 dollies. The character will supply all craft supplies. This will take the place of the color sheet activity that is included in the 1-hour package. This must be requested at least one week in advance of the party. This includes a craft for up to 12 guests.
Glitter Tattoos: These tattoos last up to two days! Each tattoo takes about 2 minutes to complete. If you have more than 8 children but still want glitter tattoos, we highly recommend adding an assistant or additional time so that all standard package activities can be completed.
Assistant: An assistant is a great addition if you would like an extra set of hands to help the party run smoothly. Their responsibilities would be to help gather the kids to do activities, take photos and videos, and to help with general party needs. They can help capture every hug and make sure you get your family portrait with the cake. The photos and videos would be taken on a phone and uploaded to a Google Drive after your party.
Outfit Options
You can choose between our hot pink outfit or movie outfit. Party package is the same regardless of the option you choose.
Premium Upgrade
Interested in a few of the add ons? You may want to consider upgrading your package to our Premium Party Package level! This will include everything in the one hour package plus an additional 30 minutes, the glitter tattoos, and 12 sunnies! Contact Mary Beth at info@glasspalaceparties.com to upgrade!
