Birthday Fun for Highland Park Kids, Bottled to Take Home
A kids birthday party in Highland Park deserves entertainment the guests actually get to do. So we bring a perfume bar, lip gloss station and glitter table, and every child makes something to keep.
We welcome kids from age 5 through tweens and teens, including sweet 13s and sweet 16s. Also, North Shore parents book us for their own showers and dinners.
Three Kids Birthday Party Ideas for Highland Park
These themes come from the lake, the music and the seasons in town, too. Then we shape colors and scents around the birthday girl.
Ravinia Lawn Picnic
Ravinia's summer concerts inspire a garden picnic party with checkered linens and a fresh citrus perfume. Kids add glitter before the music starts at home.
Ravine Fairy Garden
Moss greens, tiny florals and a sweet floral blend bring the wooded ravines indoors. It especially suits ages 5 to 8.
Mitzvah Glam Lounge
For a bat mitzvah, a Lip Lab and perfume bar give the teens a lounge of their own. Meanwhile, the adults enjoy the main event.
Party Entertainment That Suits a Highland Park Kids Birthday
Highland Park kids have seen plenty of birthday entertainers by second grade. Bounce houses and magicians blur together after a while. As a result, parents here look for an activity that feels fresh and a little grown up.
That is where our stations come in. At a kids birthday party in Highland Park, each child blends a mini perfume, then mixes a gloss in her favorite shade. Meanwhile, the glitter table keeps the line moving. Every guest goes home with a bottle, a lip color and a story.
Older girls want even more. For tweens and teens, we offer the Full perfume bar and longer mini-facials. So the same family can book us at 7 and again at 13.
Kids Birthday Party Stations for Highland Park
Most families choose two or three stations for eight to fifteen guests. Of course, we adjust every one to the age group.
Where We Bring a Highland Park Kids Birthday
We come to homes and party spaces all over town. Plus, we bring decor, so a plain room feels festive, and linens are available as an add-on.
Family rooms and basements
Most birthdays here still happen at home. So a clear wall and two tables are all we need.
Backyards and patios
Summer parties move outside. However, we need shade and a level spot for the stations.
Community and park rooms
Park district rooms help when the guest list grows. Also, they spare your floors.
Event halls
For a bat mitzvah or sweet 16, we come to the hall and set up a teen corner. We send a certificate of insurance on request.
A Highland Park Birthday Year
School starts, and new classmates mean new guest lists. So a glitter party helps everyone mix.
Snowy weekends often push parties indoors. Gourmand (sweet) scents and cocoa colors feel cozy.
Bat mitzvah and sweet 16 season fills the calendar. Therefore, book spring dates early.
Ravinia season and beach days set the tone. Meanwhile, backyard birthdays shine on long evenings.
Two studios
Our Studios, From the North Shore
Our first studio opens in Mokena in January 2027, at 19060 Everett Blvd, Suite 107. Kids and parents can make perfume or lip color there, by appointment or as walk-ins when the team has space. Its private party room holds up to 40, with a kitchen for your own food and BYOB for adults.
Still, Mokena is far from the North Shore. A second studio is planned for Chicago, opening in late 2028. Until then, Highland Park families simply have us come to them. Watch the studio page for news.
