A Tween Spa Party for the In-Between Years
A tween spa party fits the age when kids want to feel older but still love a good giggle. Ages 9 to 12 are in between, so the party should be too. Plus, our hosts handle all the details.
Glitters & Grace brings the spa to homes, party rooms, and venues across Chicagoland. For younger guests, see our kids spa parties page. Teens can explore our teen spa page instead.

Why a tween spa party hits the right note
A tween spa sleepover and a tween skincare party both start from the same idea. Tweens are curious about grown-up things, like scent, skincare, and color. However, they still want to play. So a spa party that is hands-on and silly suits them well.
Our licensed estheticians, who are licensed skincare professionals, give gentle, kid-appropriate mini-facials. Then guests move to stations where they create something. As a result, nobody sits on the sidelines.
Because friend groups matter so much at this age, a small circle works best. A tween spa party gives each girl a turn to shine. Also, it avoids the pressure of a big, loud event.
Let the birthday girl pick two stations, then let the group vote on a third. Everyone feels heard, and the party stays organized.
Stations for ages 9 to 12
Select two or three for a full party. Each station has a host, so lines stay short.
Mini-Facials
Tweens enjoy a gentle, quick mini-facial from a licensed esthetician. It feels special without being fussy. Learn more on our mini-facials page.
Perfume Bar
Tweens blend kid-friendly scents, and many are ready for extra choices. Each creation is a spray they bottled themselves.
Lip Lab
Here guests craft a velvety matte cream or a glossy shine. Plus, sixteen swatches on a board make deciding easy.
Bath Bar
Bath salts, scrubs, and oils turn into a bath bomb shaped by hand, with no sink required.
Skincare Bar
A lotion or scrub starts from unscented bases, and each guest chooses her own scent. Also, small circles do best here.
Candy Bar
Glass apothecary jars on our own carts hold the sweets. Because snacking is speedy, the party never stalls.
Reserve your tween party date
Our starting price is $475, set by guest count, stations, and length. Half down holds the date, and your itemized proposal comes within 2 business days.
Tween spa party ideas to borrow
These tween spa party ideas keep the mood fun and a little glam. Also, each one scales up or down.
Our bath bomb is handmade by each guest at the bath bar. So the favor is something she made herself.
When tweens love a spa day
Tween birthdays and milestones come with their own rhythm. So here are moments that suit a spa theme.
Birthdays
Ten, eleven, and twelve are big years. A hosted party also keeps parents free to mingle.
Sleepover nights
A sleepover feels more special with a theme. Plus, we pack out afterward.
End of school year
A spa afternoon celebrates summer's start. Then everyone heads outside after.
Cousin gatherings
Holiday visits often need an activity. So a spa party gives cousins a shared project.
Girl-group celebrations
Scout troops and club friends can also share a party. Hosts keep everyone included.
Back-to-school glow
Plus, a late-summer party builds confidence for a new grade.
Where to host a tween party
A space near 12 x 6 feet with two 6-foot tables is all we need. Otherwise, tables come along for $30 each, too.
At home
A family room or basement feels comfy, and parents also stay nearby.
Condo party rooms
Also, apartment and condo clubrooms suit a small crew.
Clubhouses
Then neighborhood clubhouses fit bigger groups with extra hosts.
Churches and halls
Church halls and banquet rooms work well. Of course, we plan around each space's guidelines.
Mokena studio
Starting in January 2027, the Mokena studio offers a private party room for up to 40.
How a tween party works
- Share your plan. Give us the date, guest count, and favorite stations, 3 to 6 months out if you can.
- See the proposal. Next, a line-by-line quote lands in your inbox.
- Hold the date. Also, custom bottle labels cost extra and need about 4 weeks.
- We set up. We arrive an hour ahead with linens and signage in hand.
- Party time. Hosts lead the fun while you enjoy it. Afterward, we pack out and wipe things down.
Complete ingredient and allergen disclosures come before the party. Also, a formulator, our founder, makes the products. Our safety page has more.

Tween spa party: common questions
What ages suit a tween spa party?
We plan for about 9 to 12. However, we welcome ages 5 and up, so mixed groups work too.
Are the mini-facials safe for tweens?
Licensed estheticians keep them light and brief. Also, ingredient lists come first.
How many guests work best?
Small groups feel most personal, though bigger crowds get extra hosts.
How much does it cost?
Parties begin at $475, and final pricing follows your guest list. A 50% deposit reserves the day.
Can we host a sleepover?
Yes. First we finish setup before the girls arrive, and then we clear everything afterward.
Do you bring everything?
Yes. Linens, signage, and styling are ours, so you only provide the floor space.
