Why a Lake Forest Kids Party Works So Well at Home
Many Lake Forest homes already have the perfect setting: a sunroom, a formal dining room, or a lower level with room to spread out. We turn that space into a little beauty atelier (a French word for a design studio) for the afternoon.
Our team arrives one hour early to set up. We bring linens, mirrors, and personalized signage, and we can add florals and custom decor. You provide tables, or we bring them for a small fee.
Stations for a Kids Spa Party Lake Forest Girls Adore
Every party is built from stations, and each one has a host. To shape the best kids party Lake Forest guests can imagine, pick the mix that fits your guest list and her favorite things.
Perfume bar
kids blend their own scent from kid-friendly fragrance notes. Signage suggests easy blends for anyone who would rather not start from scratch.
Lip Lab
guests mix their own lip gloss in a shade they choose, using our Kids tier.
Skincare
mini-facials led by an esthetician (a licensed skincare professional).
Bath, Candy, and Photo Booth
bath bombs, a candy cart, and a digital photo booth round things out.
If a kids spa party Lake Forest style is what she wants, lead with the mini-facials and add perfume as the take-home treasure. You can see every option on our kids beauty party page.
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.

The Personal Touches of a Girls Birthday Party Lake Forest Families Love
Polished does not mean stiff. A girls birthday party Lake Forest guests remember is the one that feels like her: her colors, her name on the signs, her favorite flowers on the table.
Each perfume is an eau de parfum (a long-lasting perfume strength) made with perfumer's alcohol. Guests name their bottles, so every girl goes home with a scent that is hers alone. Our founder, perfumer Cheryl Gleason, designs the kid-friendly scent palette herself.
Lake Forest Birthday Party Ideas by Season
The North Shore calendar shapes a lot of party plans. These Lake Forest birthday party ideas follow the year:
Summer
a garden party look with pastel linens and florals, set up on a covered porch or patio.
Fall
cozy amber and gold tones, with warm scents at the perfume bar.
Winter
a glittering indoor party when the lake wind makes the yard off-limits.
Spring
soft pinks and fresh greens for an end-of-school celebration.

Planning a Lake Bluff Birthday Party Too
Next door, we host the same polished setup for any Lake Bluff birthday party. Cozy older homes and newer builds both work, because the stations fit a dining table or a playroom.
Many families along the lake share friend groups across both towns. So if her class spans Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, one party covers everyone. Our North Shore kids party page has more ideas for nearby towns.
Glitters & Grace was founded by Cheryl Gleason, a trained perfumer, a cosmetic and skincare formulator, and the creative force behind every station we bring to your party.
