Mobile Parties for Kids in Chicago, Hosted at Your Home
Mobile parties for kids in Chicago let the fun come to you. We set up a styled beauty bar in your living room, basement or backyard, and every child makes something to take home: a perfume, a lip color, a bath bomb, a body butter.
You get to watch the party instead of running it. Our hosts lead every station, then pack out and clean up.
- Ages 5 and up
- Background-checked female hosts
- Age-appropriate formulas
- From $475
What parents should know first
Our kids parties are for ages 5 and up. Every host is background-checked, female and trained to work with children. Every formula is chosen to be age-appropriate and gentle.
Kids parties start at $475, which is our event minimum. Packages are priced by guest count. The average party has 6 to 8 guests, and more than 8 is a large group with adjusted pricing. Plan for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, so nobody feels rushed.
We also bring customized decor, mirrors and florals, so the room looks party-ready the moment guests walk in, and personalized signage is available as an add-on.
Book your lowest expected guest count. After you sign, the count can go up but not down.
What mobile parties for kids in Chicago include
Choose one star station, or mix two or three for a bigger group.
Kids Perfume Bar
Kids blend their own scent from a kid-friendly library inspired by candy, florals and treats. Each child takes home a 20 ml perfume spray. Mini perfume bar for kids
DIY Skincare Bar
Kids make a moisturizer, body butter, lotion and scrub, guided by age-based cards. They can add their own scent and a little shimmer. Kids skincare party
Luxury Lip Lab
Kids mix a soft lip cream or high-shine gloss from a 16-shade swatch board, poured and packaged on the spot. Lip gloss party for kids
Kids Candy Bar
An apothecary-style candy cart with 6 to 18 sweets. Kids scoop and fill their own treat bags. See the candy bar
Glitter & Glow and Bath Bar
A little sparkle before photos, and fizzy bath bombs to take home. The bath bar runs without power, so it works anywhere.
Digital Photo Booth
Kids with phones or tablets can download and share photos as they snap. After the party, parents get a link to the whole gallery. See the photo booth
Birthday Saturdays fill up
Book six to eight weeks ahead for most Saturdays, and longer for May, September and December. If the birthday is sooner, reach out anyway. We have a large team of hosts and can often fit you in on short notice.

Where we set up
Most kids parties happen at home: a cleared dining room, a finished basement or a backyard on a warm day. Condo party rooms and church halls work beautifully too.
We cover Chicago and the suburbs with no travel fee. Your space provides tables, or we bring them at $30 each. Starting in January 2027, families can also book the private party room at our Mokena studio, which holds up to 40 guests.
