A kids spa party in Northwest Indiana, and no mess left behind
Searching for a kids spa party near me in Dyer, Munster, Highland, Crown Point or Valparaiso? We bring the whole thing to your house — perfume bars, lip labs, skincare and bath bars, candy bars and mocktails. Our background-checked hosts set up, run every activity, and clean up.
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 parent exactly what's in every bottle.
Made 30 minutes over the state line
Every base is formulated, packed and hand-crafted in our New Lenox, Illinois lab — a half hour from Dyer. US-sourced, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe materials. Not shipped in, not white-labelled.
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.
No travel fees to Indiana
No travel fees, no service fees, no automatic gratuity, no mileage surcharge — and no state-line surcharge either. Lake and Porter County sit inside our core area.

Close enough that we're a local vendor, not a road trip
Our lab is in New Lenox — about thirty minutes from Dyer and forty from Crown Point. Northwest Indiana isn't an outpost for us. It's the neighborhood.
We work at-home spa parties and girls pamper parties across Lake and Porter County most weekends — Dyer, Munster, Highland, Schererville, St. John, Griffith, Crown Point, Merrillville, Valparaiso and Chesterton. We arrive an hour early, set the station on a kitchen island or dining table, run the whole activity, and pack out with the table exactly as we found it. See all of our kids and teens party packages for the full range.
One practical note that matters here more than anywhere else we serve: Lake and Porter County run on Central Time, same as us. When we confirm an 11am start for a Munster party, we mean 11am your time. If you're further east toward La Porte or Michigan City, tell us and we'll confirm the timezone in writing so nobody is standing in a kitchen an hour early.
The calendar here has its own shape. Spring fills with Lake Central, Munster, Highland and Crown Point birthdays plus end-of-season team parties. Summer moves outdoors and around the festival run — Pierogi Fest in Whiting, Taste of Crown Point on the square, the Popcorn Festival in Valparaiso. Autumn and winter bring tween sleepover add-ons, Sweet 16s and holiday-break celebrations. We book NWI 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. Add the vintage cart, florals and ladder shelf for an elevated look.
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. Guests blend and jar everything themselves, with light skincare education along the way.
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, or all pink, blue, white or yellow. Add the vintage candy cart for a sweet finish.
About the candy bar
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 Sweet 16 station. 1.5–2 hours.
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, and a natural pairing with any other station.
Looking for mini facials?
Our mini facials and Kids Spa Duo are currently available in Illinois only, because they're performed by Illinois licensed estheticians. Every station listed here is available throughout Northwest Indiana — the DIY Skincare Bar is the closest equivalent, and it's our most popular tween station.
Your kitchen island, or a Northwest Indiana party room
Most NWI parties happen at home, and that's what we're built for. But we're fully mobile, so if you've booked a room, 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 work in everything from older Munster ranches to the newer builds out past 109th.
Bulldog Park
Four community rooms plus a 100' x 200' open-air pavilion, one block west of the downtown square. Already booked an ice-skating party in Community Room 1B? A Lip Lab in the same room gives the group something to do off the ice.
Facility rentalCentennial Park
Two hundred acres with a clubhouse and banquet facilities, a 2,000-seat amphitheater and shelter rentals. The clubhouse rooms suit a bigger Sweet 16; the shelters are ideal for a summer party.
Park detailsMeyer's Castle
The 1931 Jacobethan mansion on Indian Hill, on the National Register and one of the highest points in Lake County. Gardens and grand interiors — our Lip Lab Premium looks right at home against that backdrop.
Country clubs
We work regularly at member clubs across Lake and Porter County. Bring us in for a junior member event or a family celebration and we'll coordinate directly with your events team on load-in and timing.
Valparaiso & Porter County
Downtown Valparaiso rooms near Central Park Plaza, the Art Barn School of Art out on 400 E, and park and clubhouse spaces through Chesterton and Portage. All inside our no-travel-fee area.
South Shore CVABooked somewhere not listed? Tell us the address when you inquire. We need a first-floor setup or elevator access, close parking for unloading, and warm water for any bath or skincare station.
Five packages, built from our most-booked combinations
Packages let kids move between stations and go home with a whole collection they made themselves.
Package prices are a base for up to 8 guests. Packages suit ages 8 and up; for younger children, Glitter & Glow is designed for ages 5–10. Our Kids Spa Duo is Illinois only, so it isn't listed here.

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.
We used Glitters and Grace for both my niece's bridal shower and my cousin's daughter's 12 year birthday. We are very pleased with both events and the special signage was a real winner.
The girls' party was a blast. Everyone enjoyed the lip lab and the perfume. We want to do this again!
Rebecca arrived early, made sure every kid received personal attention and did an excellent job getting them to use the photobooth. We will recommend Glitters and Grace Events to our friends and family.
Pricing, parties and packages
How much does a kids spa party cost in Northwest Indiana?
Parties start at $475. Individual stations run $375 to $600 for up to 8 guests, and packages run $675 to $895 for up to 8 guests.
Our most popular NWI booking, the Perfume & Lip Gloss package, is $795 for 8 guests. Glitter & Glow for younger children is $675. There are no travel fees to Indiana, no service fees and no automatic gratuity — the number in your proposal is the number you pay.
Do you charge extra to cross the state line?
No. Our lab is in New Lenox, Illinois and our Studio is in Mokena — both about thirty minutes from Dyer and forty from Crown Point — so Lake and Porter County sit inside our core service area. We also have a NWI loal team ready to support parties. No travel fee, no mileage surcharge, no state-line surcharge.
We serve Dyer, Munster, Highland, Schererville, St. John, Griffith, Crown Point, Merrillville, Cedar Lake, Winfield, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Portage, Whiting and Hammond on the same terms.
Do you offer mini facials in Indiana?
Not yet. Our mini facials and the Kids Spa Duo are performed by Illinois licensed estheticians, and Indiana requires its own esthetician licence to perform facials or skincare treatments anywhere in the state. We won't offer a licensed service where we aren't licensed.
Everything else on this page is fully available across Northwest Indiana. The DIY Skincare Bar is the closest equivalent — guests blend and jar four of their own skincare products, which is a product-making activity rather than a treatment. It's also our most popular tween station.
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, which is the main reason parents choose a mobile spa party over a storefront.
We do work at venues too. Bulldog Park in Crown Point, Centennial Park in Munster, Meyer's Castle in Dyer, country clubs across Lake and Porter County, and downtown Valparaiso rooms 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 — it isn't an add-on and it isn't left to you.
What time zone do you work in?
Central Time, same as Lake and Porter County. When we confirm an 11am start for a party in Munster or Valparaiso, we mean 11am your time.
If you're further east — La Porte, Michigan City or beyond — tell us when you book and we'll confirm the time zone in writing on your proposal so there's no confusion on the day.
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 Sweet 16 station in NWI.
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 Northwest Indiana Saturdays. May and December book further out — end-of-school and holiday-break weekends are our busiest, and those often go two to three months ahead.
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 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. 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.
It also pairs well with something already booked — an ice-skating party at Bulldog Park, for instance, or a bowling or trampoline outing. We handle the take-home half.
Can you match our party theme and colors?
Our kids parties use basic linens, light décor and simple signage chosen for durability and child-friendly use. It's photo-ready but practical.
For a more editorial look we offer client-paid customization: upgraded décor, specialty linens, premium bottles, custom signage, florals and themed styling. Let us know well in advance so we can source it properly.
Let's plan a Northwest Indiana 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 — and if we're already booked, we'll let you know quickly.
