Right-sized for ten nine-year-olds, and we clean up too
Searching for a kids spa party near me in Elmhurst, Wheaton or Glen Ellyn? We bring the whole thing to your house — perfume bars, lip labs, skincare and bath bars, mini facials, candy bars and mocktails. Built for the size of party you're actually throwing.
Most kids spa parties do things for children. We help them make something they can keep.
A mini manicure is gone by Tuesday. A perfume your daughter formulated herself, named herself, and can still smell on her wrist a month later is something else entirely.
A real perfumer & cosmetic formulator
Our founder is a trained perfumer and formulator. We don't buy party kits — we develop the formulas ourselves, and we can tell any DuPage parent exactly what's in every bottle.
Sized for a birthday
Wilder Mansion seats 250. Cantigny is 500 acres. Beautiful, but built for weddings. A station on your dining table is built for the eight to fifteen children you actually invited.
Open in January
Some of the loveliest venues here close for the winter. We work year-round, which matters when the birthday falls in the middle of a DuPage February.
Party favors are built in
Every guest goes home with a custom perfume, lip gloss, body butter, scrub or bath soak they made. The activity and the favor are the same thing, so that's one less errand.

Across central DuPage, no travel fee
Same terms, same pricing, whichever village and whichever school district you're in.
Built for how DuPage families actually celebrate
Central DuPage has some of the most beautiful event spaces in the western suburbs. It has noticeably fewer that make sense for a ten-child birthday in the middle of February.
That's the gap we fill. We work at-home spa parties and girls pamper parties across Elmhurst, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Villa Park, Winfield and Carol Stream. We arrive an hour early, set the station on a kitchen island or dining table, run the whole activity, and pack out with the room exactly as we found it. See all of our kids and teens party packages for the full range.
We also serve Glendale Heights, Bloomingdale, Addison, Wood Dale, Itasca and Oakbrook Terrace on the same terms. If your party is in Naperville, Lisle or Warrenville, we have a dedicated Naperville page; for Hinsdale, Oak Brook and Burr Ridge, see our Hinsdale page.
The calendar runs on District 205 in Elmhurst, District 200 in Wheaton and the Glenbard districts. Spring fills with elementary and middle school birthdays and end-of-season team parties. Summer moves outdoors and quiets around Cream of Wheaton. Autumn brings tween sleepover add-ons and York, Wheaton North and Glenbard West Sweet 16s, and the stretch from the Turkey Trot through the Wilder Park tree lighting into winter break is our busiest run of the year. Book central DuPage Saturdays six to eight weeks out, longer in May and December.
Build your own party, one station at a time
Most parents pick two or three stations, or one of our packages. Activities can run at once or one after another to keep the group together.
Prices are a base for up to 8 guests. Contact us for a proposal above 8 — we serve celebrations of every size. Every station includes all materials, take-home packaging, staffing, setup and cleanup. Single stations can be combined with a second station or an add-on to meet our $475 event minimum.
The Mini Perfume Bar
60 kid-friendly fragrance options across florals, fruits, gourmands and fresh notes, plus our signature line inspired by the scents kids and tweens already love. They smell, explore, blend and bottle their own perfume, then take it home in a gift bag.
About our perfume bars
The Luxury Bath Bar
Six premium salts — mineral, foaming and Himalayan — blended into a custom 8oz bath soak with skin-safe fragrance, rose petals, lavender buds and calendula. Each guest also fragrances a body lotion and picks a handmade bath bomb. Our most-booked January station.
About the bath bar
The DIY Skincare Bar
Four 2oz jars each: facial moisturizer, body butter, sugar scrub and lotion. Natural, premium bases from US makers, customized with 12 skin-safe fragrances, four shimmers and oil mix-ins. Includes light skincare education.
About the skincare bar
The Lip Lab — Basic
15 cosmetic-grade mica colors, hydrating gloss base, shimmers and flavors like vanilla, cotton candy and bubblegum. Every guest fills and takes home their own custom gloss. Fast, tidy and endlessly photogenic.
About the Lip Lab
The Mini Candy Bar
Ten candy selections — sweet, sour, gummy and chocolate — with one 8oz mylar bag per guest. Served on a styled table with linens and jars. Colors matched to your theme. Add the vintage candy cart for a sweet finish.
About the candy bar
Mini Facials for Kids
A gentle cleanse with warm towels, hydrating mask or cooling gel, under-eye pads, light facial massage, custom kid-safe moisturizer and a finishing mist. Performed by an Illinois licensed esthetician or cosmetologist. The closest thing to a true spa party, in your own home.
About our kids spa services
The Lip Lab — Premium
An editorial-quality setup with 15 luxury pigments, stainless steel palettes and professional blending tools, sleek silver, gold or black tubes, styled risers and décor, and an on-site beauty mixologist. Our most-requested York and Glenbard Sweet 16 station.
About the Lip Lab
Kids & Teens Mocktail Bar
Three signature kid-friendly flavors and a premium garnish bar with edible glitter, fruit wheels, sprinkles and themed toppers. Custom cups and straws, all ingredients, full setup. Completely alcohol-free.
Your kitchen island, or a room you've already booked
Most central DuPage parties happen at home. But the venues here are lovely, and if you've booked one for a milestone we'll meet you there.
Your home
A kitchen island, dining table, finished basement or backyard patio. We bring tables if you'd rather keep yours clear, and we're used to older DuPage homes with a step or two at the front door.
Wilder Mansion
The restored 1868 mansion in Wilder Park, reopened in 2008 with 9,000 square feet of rental space and formal gardens. Genuinely grand, and available seven days a week for the whole building or single rooms — worth it for a milestone rather than a standard birthday.
Mansion rentalsElmhurst Park District
The District runs 28 parks across 468 acres, and lists birthday parties among its specialties. The Hub at Berens Park, Courts Plus and the Sugar Creek clubhouse all rent — book the room and we'll bring the station.
Park District rentalsCantigny Park
The former McCormick estate, with formal gardens, a picnic grove and pavilion, and Le Jardin for events. Beautiful for a summer party — just note the park closes for January, which is exactly when a lot of birthdays land.
Village park districts
Community rooms and recreation centres across Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Villa Park and Carol Stream. Most price residents and non-residents differently — our rate doesn't change.
Country clubs & hotels
We work regularly at member clubs and hotel function rooms. Bring us in for a junior member event or a Sweet 16 and we'll coordinate directly with your events team on load-in, timing and insurance.
Booked somewhere not listed? Tell us the address and your rental window when you inquire. We need a first-floor setup or elevator access, close parking for unloading, and warm water for spa and facial services.
Six packages, built from our most-booked combinations

Small touches that make it feel custom
Reviews from parties near you
Every review below comes from a real booking. We don't write them and we don't edit them.
REPLACE THIS TEXT with a real review, pasted exactly as the client wrote it. Two to four sentences works best. Reviews that name Elmhurst, Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, the age group or the station booked are the strongest ones to use here.
REPLACE THIS TEXT with a second real review. Pick one that answers a different objection from the first — if review one praises the hosts, choose one here that mentions how tidy the setup was, or how the kids took their creations home.
REPLACE THIS TEXT with a third real review. A tween or teen party review works well in this slot. If you have one from Glen Ellyn, Lombard or Carol Stream, use it here to widen the geographic signal across the county.
Use first name and last initial only unless the client has agreed to more. Name the source under each review, and adjust the star count to match the review you're pasting.
Pricing, parties and packages
How much does a kids spa party cost in central DuPage?
Parties start at $475. Individual stations run $375 to $675 for up to 8 guests, and packages run $675 to $1,050 for up to 8 guests.
Our most popular booking here, the Perfume & Lip Gloss package, is $795 for 8 guests. There are no travel fees, no service fees, no automatic gratuity and no resident rate — the number in your proposal is the number you pay, whichever village you're in.
We looked at Wilder Mansion and Cantigny. Are they right for a kids' birthday?
They're both beautiful, and both worth it for a milestone. But they're built at a different scale — Wilder Mansion holds up to 250 guests across 9,000 square feet, and Cantigny is a 500-acre estate.
For the eight to fifteen children most parents actually invite, a station on your dining table does more with less. If you do book one of them, we'll happily set up there — tell us the room and the timing.
Our daughter's birthday is in January. What are our options?
This is where a mobile party earns its keep in DuPage. Cantigny closes for January, outdoor options are out, and community rooms fill quickly with everyone in the same position.
We work year-round and set up indoors on your dining table. The bath bar is our most-booked winter station — warm, cosy and entirely indoors. We just ask for close parking cleared of snow and ice for unloading.
Can you do the party at our house, or do we need a venue?
At your house is what we're built for. A kitchen island, dining table, finished basement or backyard patio all work — no venue rental required, and no resident-versus-non-resident rate to work around.
We do work at venues too. Elmhurst Park District rooms including The Hub at Berens Park and Courts Plus, Wilder Mansion, Cantigny, and community rooms across Wheaton, Glen Ellyn and Lombard are all places we set up.
Is it messy? We'd rather not redo the dining room.
This is the question we get most, and the honest answer is: less than you'd expect. Our stations are designed around contained pours and covered surfaces. We bring our own linens and protective coverings, and aprons are provided for the Lip Lab.
We arrive about an hour early, set up completely, run the activity, and pack out with the table as we found it. Cleanup is included in every price on this page.
Which towns do you serve?
Elmhurst, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Villa Park, Winfield, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, Bloomingdale, Addison, Wood Dale, Itasca and Oakbrook Terrace — all on the same terms with no travel fee.
For Naperville, Lisle and Warrenville see our Naperville page; for Hinsdale, Oak Brook and Burr Ridge see our Hinsdale page.
What ages are these parties for?
Activities are designed for ages 7 and up, packages suit ages 8 and up, and we happily host children as young as 4.
For younger children we recommend Glitter & Glow, built for ages 5–10. Tweens gravitate to the skincare bar and Lip Lab. The Lip Lab Premium is designed for 16 and up, which makes it our most-booked York and Glenbard Sweet 16 station.
Are party favors included, or do I need to buy those separately?
Included. Every guest leaves with what they made — a custom perfume, lip gloss, body butter, scrub, bath soak or candy bag, depending on your package, in a gift bag.
The activity and the favor are the same thing, so that's one line item off your list and one fewer trip to the party store.
How far in advance should we book?
Six to eight weeks covers most central DuPage Saturdays. May and December book further out — end-of-school and holiday-break weekends are our busiest, and the run from Thanksgiving through winter break fills early.
If your date is sooner, ask anyway. We sometimes have a team available.
How long does a party last, and how many hosts come?
Most run 1 to 2.5 hours depending on what you book. A single station or Sweet Lips is about 1–1.5 hours; two- and three-station packages run 1.5–2 hours; the Kids Spa Duo runs 2–2.5. Setup and cleanup are included in that.
Staffing is set by guest count and ages. Children 12 and over work fairly independently; under 12 need more hands-on help, so we add hosts accordingly. A second host is added at 15 guests.
Are the products safe for children with sensitive skin?
All fragrance, skincare, bath and cosmetic materials are skin-safe, IFRA compliant and sourced from US suppliers. Everything is formulated, packed and hand-crafted in our New Lenox lab.
Ingredient lists are available in advance for any parent who wants to review them. Tell us about allergies or sensitivities when you book and we'll plan around them — a child can always take their creation home without applying anything at the party.
Can we combine this with a sleepover or another activity?
Often the best format for tweens. We run the station in the first 90 minutes while everyone's fresh, pack out, and leave you to the pizza, movie and sleepover. Guests have their creations to use that night.
The mocktail bar pairs especially well here — it gives the group something to do right after we leave.
Let's plan a party they'll remember
Tell us the date, the age group and roughly how many kids. We'll recommend stations and send an itemized quote — year-round, including January.
