Hey party peeps!
I’m so excited to have worked with the most AMAZING vendors on my latest “Look for Less” guest post for HWTM this month in celebration of my newest printables collection, “Girly Circus!” NOW AVAILABLE CLICK HERE. If you missed the post, click here to check it out. Today I’d like to share DETAILS & BUDGET CHIC TIPS on the “GIRLY CIRCUS DRESS UP BEAUTY BAR!” I designed featuring a Custom Couture outfit and accessories by Nevaeh’s Baby Couture Boutique, a personalized acrylic tray by A Blissful Nest and a custom Birthday poster by Moulage Collection!
TOMMORROW’s post will be all about the “Girly Circus” Sweets Bar!
IT ALL BEGINS WITH A CUSTOM DESIGNED OUTFIT FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!
Hiring a designer to custom create a themed outfit for the birthday girl to match the party is ALL THE RAGE RIGHT NOW! My friend Jessica Ruiz owns Nevaeh’s Baby Couture Boutique who created this AMAZING outfit that matches the “Girly Circus theme perfectly! I sent her a copy of my printables and she custom designed the outfit to match! If your budget allows and you want a truly unique, one-of-a-kind couture outfit for your child on her big day, go for it! The party photos alone are PRICELESS!
“GIRLY CIRCUS DRESS UP BEAUTY BAR!”
Dress Up Beauty Bars are so much fun for little girls! They LOVE dressing up! Create a space like this that looks like a dress up boutique to add to your party’s decor.
5 MUST HAVE ITEMS FOR YOUR DRESS UP BEAUTY BAR:
1. Full-length mirror
2. Accessories
3. Dress up clothes
4. Unique containers & stands
5. Photo area to take photos of the girls all dolled up!
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE ACCESSORIES!
Nevaeh’s Baby Couture Boutique also custom designs couture accessories which she created here from my printables. Check out the hairpins and necklaces she created using the elephant and seal! If budget allows, incorporate these items into your Beauty Bar and have them double as one-of-a-kind party favors for the girls to take home with them.

BUDGET CHIC TIP:
“Budget Chic” option for accessories: Flea markets, garage sales and Goodwill stores are treasure troves of accessories for cheap!!! You can still get the high end look of unique one-of-a-kind accessories by buying second hand items!
“BUDGET CHIC” DRESS UP–PRINTABLE IRON-ONS & MATCHING TUTUS!
Make sure to have an outfit on hand for each guest to dress up! I found these white tank tops in Dollar Tree! For a party of 8, that’s $8! Pair those with a color-coordinated tutu embellished with a ribbon and you have a high-end look for less!
GIRLFRIEND TIP:
“BUDGET CHIC” PERSONALIZED TANK TOPS
To go “Budget Chic” you can create CUSTOMIZED tops by simply printing out the T-shirt art onto iron-on transfer paper and then put it on a shirt of your choice.
DETAILS! DETAILS!…PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING!
Don’t forget the details! Match all the colors, use blankets to cover tables to bring in a lush feeling and display everything! Any opportunity you have to display something, do it…it adds to the decor of your party and makes a bigger statement than just throwing a bunch of necklaces in a bowl.
BUDGET CHIC TIP:
FLEA MARKET FINDS MAKE UNIQUE BUDGET CHIC DISPLAY STANDS!
Try to find cool, unique containers & stands to display the items. Flea markets, garage sales and Goodwill stores are great places to find unique stands and containers. Don’t worry about the colors of them when you look for them. A coat of matching spray paint is the easiest, “Budget Chic” way to make a flea market find…FABULOUS & CUSTOM! This iron stand was a vintage white when I bought it. I spray painted it a glossy black to give it a modern, sleek look.
BUDGET CHIC TIP:
USE PERSONALIZED TRAYS TO HOLD EACH GIRL’S ITEMS!
I made each guest their own tray with a personalized Lolli-tag™ that had her own accessories on it. This way each girl gets her own set and there is no fighting over the items. We all know how that can be! It also allows for a gorgeous presentation of the items.
BUDGET CHIC TIP:
INCLUDE A PERSONALIZED ITEM FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!
As a special touch, incorporate a personalized item for the birthday girl like this personalized acrylic tray to hold the hair bows. The tray is custom made by A Blissful Nest and doubles as a unique gift that the birthday girl can use in her room after the party. There are many trays to choose from on her site. Check out her full collection here.
SETUP A PHOTO BOOTH & TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS!
Once all the girls are all dressed up, take advantage of all the CUTENESS and have a photo area ready to go with a simple backdrop and props.
BUDGET CHIC TIP:
HAVE A SPECIAL CUSTOM PHOTO BOOTH PROP FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!
Speaking of props….I came across these adorable Birthday Posters custom designed by Moulage Collection on Etsy. I was immediately drawn to their whimsical look and the ability to create a truly one-of-a-kind momento by having all of her favorite things reflected on the poster. When you order, you give them all the unique things about your child and she works it into the poster design along with drawings that coordinate with your party’s theme. It makes the PERFECT prop for photos to commemorate your child’s special day. To see more of these Birthday Posters and info to order your own, click here.
BUDGET CHIC TIP:
USE LOLLI-TAG PRINTABLES AS PHOTO BOOTH PROPS!
Also, to get the most bang from your Printables…have the guests use Lolli-tags™ as photo props as seen in the first photo of my daughter holding one.
