The Best Kids Party in Oak Park, Hosted on Your Front Porch or Inside
Some of the best kids party Oak Park memories happen right at home, on a wide front porch or around a big dining table. Glitters & Grace brings hosted perfume, lip gloss, and bath bomb stations to your house, so the party comes to you.
Oak Park is known for its historic homes, from Victorians to Prairie-style houses. Those rooms make a lovely setting for a beauty party, and our hosts handle every station from start to finish.

Porch Party or Parlor Party?
Oak Park birthdays follow the seasons. In late spring and early fall, a deep front porch is perfect for a perfume station and a candy cart. Kids love the open air, and neighbors wave as they walk by.
In winter, the party moves inside. A dining room with built-in cabinets or a sunny front parlor holds the stations nicely. That flexibility helps make it the best kids party Oak Park parents can plan in any month.
What Happens at Each Station
At the perfume bar, kids blend their own scent from kid-friendly scents. Signage suggests blends for anyone who would rather not start from scratch. Every bottle is 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 using our Kids tier. At the bath station, they make bath bombs to take home and enjoy at bath time.
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.

A Girls Birthday Party Oak Park Kids Will Love
A girls birthday party Oak Park friends remember is all about doing something together. Every child makes her own creations, and every child takes them home. No one sits on the sidelines.
Add customized decor, personalized signage, mirrors, and florals. For theme inspiration, see our bath bomb party page and our girls birthday party ideas page.
Bring a Kids Spa Party Oak Park Style Home
A kids spa party Oak Park families host can be as calm or as playful as you like. Our licensed estheticians (licensed skincare professionals) lead mini-facials for young guests. Kids lie back, relax, and come away glowing.
Plenty of Oak Park birthday party ideas start with a theme. Pajama spa day, garden tea, or a pastel color story all pair beautifully with the skincare station.
Planning a River Forest Birthday Party
Just west of Oak Park, a River Forest birthday party works the same way. Our hosts arrive one hour early to set up, run every station, and clean up when it ends. You enjoy the party instead of managing it.
Families provide tables, or we bring them for a small fee. We bring the linens, and you are welcome to style the tables to your theme.
Pricing an Oak Park Kids Party
Parties are priced by guest count and stations, from $475. You can add extra hosts for a larger group. Guest count can go up after booking but not down, so book your lowest expected count.
Founder Cheryl Gleason, a trained perfumer, is the creative force behind each station. That care is part of what makes ours the best kids party Oak Park kids can enjoy at home.

Frequently asked questions
What ages is this for?
Kids experiences are for ages 5 and up. The suggested perfume blends and the Kids tier at the Lip Lab keep younger guests confident.
Can we hold the party outside?
Yes, on a porch or patio with tables and a little shade. Have an indoor backup in mind, since spring weather in the Chicago area can change quickly.
What about allergies?
We ask about allergies when you book, and the contract covers allergen disclosures. Share any concerns early so we can plan together.
Do you have a studio option?
Yes. Our Mokena studio has a party room and a kitchen, and families can bring their own food. Learn more on our Mokena studio page.
