The Best Kids Party in Chicago Fits Any Apartment or Party Room
Planning the best kids party Chicago families can host without renting a big venue? Glitters & Grace brings a hosted beauty party to your apartment, condo, greystone, or building party room, sized to the space you already have.
Your daughter and her friends blend their own perfume, mix lip gloss, and relax with mini-facials. Our hosts run every station, so you get to watch the fun instead of managing it.
- Trained perfumer & formulator
- A host at every station
- Ages 5 and up
- Setup & cleanup included
A Chicago Kids Party Made for Small Spaces
City parents know the math: a two-bedroom, a dozen kids, and a pile of coats by the door. An apartment birthday party Chicago kids remember does not need a ballroom. It needs a smart layout, and that is where the best kids party Chicago families plan really starts.
Our stations sit on tables, so a dining table and a kitchen counter can hold much of the party. Families provide tables, or we bring them for a small fee. We bring the linens, and you can style the tables to your theme.
Using Your Building's Party Room
Many high-rises in the Loop, River North, and the South Loop have a party room for residents. Plenty of condo buildings in Lakeview and Edgewater do, too. If yours does, it can be the easiest option: no furniture to move and no cleanup in your own kitchen.
Check your building's rules on reservations, hours, and guest limits first. Then tell us the room size, and we will plan the stations around it. That is what makes this a true mobile kids party Chicago families can take anywhere.
Made by a trained perfumer
Every station was designed by our founder, Cheryl Gleason, a trained perfumer and cosmetic and skincare formulator who trained with master perfumer Karen Gilbert, at the Institute for Art and Olfaction, and through courses and workshops around the world. We ask about allergies when you book, and your contract covers allergen disclosures.

Inside the Stations
At the perfume bar, kids blend their own scent from kid-friendly scents. Signage suggests blends for kids who would rather not start from scratch. Each guest leaves with an eau de parfum spray (a long-lasting perfume strength) made with perfumer's alcohol.
At the Lip Lab, kids mix their own lip gloss in the shades they love, with a Kids tier made just for younger guests. You can also add a candy cart, a bath bomb station, or a digital photo booth. Founder Cheryl Gleason, a trained perfumer, is the creative force behind every station.
A Kids Spa Party Chicago Girls Can Relax Into
A kids spa party Chicago style fits right into a living room. Our skincare station offers mini-facials led by licensed estheticians (licensed skincare professionals). Guests sit back, unwind, and giggle through a few calm minutes of pampering.
For many families, the best kids party Chicago girls ask for is a spa night that turns into a sleepover. Our spa sleepover party page has ideas for keeping the glow going after our hosts head home.
A Girls Birthday Party Chicago Weather Can't Cancel
Chicago birthdays land in every kind of weather: January wind chills, March slush, and July thunderstorms. A girls birthday party Chicago families plan indoors never depends on the forecast. Everything happens at your table.

What a Kids Birthday Party Chicago Families Book Costs
A kids birthday party Chicago families book with us is priced by guest count and the stations you choose. Parties start from $475, and you can add extra hosts for a bigger group. Guest count can go up after booking but not down, so book your lowest expected count.
Our team arrives one hour early to set up, hosts every station, and cleans up after. That helps when your building has elevator reservations or a party room checkout time. It is a big reason this is the best kids party Chicago parents can plan from a small home.

Frequently asked questions
What ages is this party for?
Our kids experiences are for ages 5 and up. The Kids tier at the Lip Lab and the suggested perfume blends keep the youngest guests confident and happy.
How much space do we need?
Less than you might think. A dining table plus a counter or side table can often hold a couple of stations. Tell us your layout and guest count, and we will suggest a setup that fits.
Do you come to every Chicago neighborhood?
We host Chicago children's party events in neighborhoods across the city and the suburbs. Families can also hold the party at our studio in Mokena, which has a party room and a kitchen. Learn more on our kids beauty party page.
What about allergies?
We ask about allergies when you book, and your contract covers allergen disclosures. Share any concerns early so we can plan the stations together.
