A Sweet 16 Party Lake Forest Teens Will Remember
Sixteen deserves more than a sheet cake. A Sweet 16 party Lake Forest style can open with a perfume lab. Each guest blends from many more fragrance materials than our kids parties use.
The result is an eau de parfum (a long-lasting perfume strength) made with perfumer's alcohol. She names it, labels it, and keeps it long after the party ends. Our founder, Cheryl Gleason, is a trained perfumer who builds the teen scent palette.
How the Lake Forest Teen Party Boutique Comes Together
We arrive one hour early and set the scene. Think mirrors, linens, personalized signage, and florals that match her colors. You provide tables, or we bring them for a small fee.
Lake Forest homes often have a great space for this: a finished basement, a dining room, or a screened porch on a warm June night. Our hosts run every station, so you can enjoy the evening instead of supervising.
Perfume lab
a fuller set of fragrance materials for layered, personal scents.
Lip Lab
custom lip color mixed to her exact shade.
Skincare
mini-facials led by an esthetician (a licensed skincare professional).

a digital booth for the group shots she will post that night.
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 8th Grade Graduation Party Lake Forest Families Plan Each Spring
Late May and June bring a wave of school celebrations. An 8th grade graduation party Lake Forest grads enjoy can feel like a send-off into high school. She leaves with a scent to wear on the first day.
Friends blend side by side, compare notes, and trade bottle names. It is a calm, social activity that works for a mixed group who may be heading to different schools.
Teen Girls Night Lake Bluff and Beyond
Not every gathering needs a milestone. A teen girls night Lake Bluff friends plan on a winter Friday can be just as special. Set up perfume, lip color, and a photo booth in a cozy family room, and the snow can do whatever it likes.
We serve teens across the lakefront communities, so the best teen party Lake Forest girls host can easily include friends from Lake Bluff. For more nearby ideas, see our North Shore teen party page. Planning for a younger sibling? Visit our Lake Forest kids party page.
Make It a Teen Birthday Party Lake Forest Friends Talk About
A teen birthday party Lake Forest guests remember usually comes down to one thing: she made something real. Maybe it is a 14th birthday with six close friends, or a 17th with the whole team. Either way, the stations scale with your guest list, and extra hosts keep the lines short.
The group shots from the photo booth tend to be the favorite keepsake after the perfume itself. Browse our Sweet 16 party ideas and red carpet party for girls for theme inspiration.
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.
