Looking for a sparkling idea for a children’s party that’s just a little different? Then a glitter party is the perfect choice. During a glitter kids party, everything revolves around shine, glamour, and of course, lots of fun. From glitter tattoos to shimmering face paint and creative activities, children feel like true stars for a day. In this blog, you’ll discover what makes a glitter party so special and how you can organize an unforgettable glitter birthday party yourself.
What is a glitter party?
A glitter party is a themed celebration where everything is about sparkle, glamour, and creativity. Children are immersed in a festive atmosphere full of bright colors and dazzling details. During this party, they feel like real stars while enjoying an afternoon filled with fun, magic, and of course, plenty of glitter.
At Mia’s Magic, a glitter kids party starts with a creative activity where the children design their own face gems. Using sparkling rhinestones and their favorite colors, they create a personal jewel that perfectly matches their party look. Next, they receive a glitter tattoo that can last up to a week. To top it off, the children are beautifully face painted — with glitter taking the spotlight. This way, they don’t just enjoy a party, but step into a sparkling world full of magic and glamour.

Step by Step: What a Glitter Party at Mia’s Magic Looks Like
A glitter party from Mia’s Magic is sparkling, creative, and above all festive. Children design their own dazzling face gems, receive a glitter tattoo, and are transformed with shimmering face paint. Here’s how a typical glitter birthday party unfolds, step by step:
1) Warm welcome & theme introduction
We begin with a short introduction and explanation of the program. Right away, the kids dive into the festive glitter world: sparkling colors, cheerful accents, and a magical atmosphere that sets the tone for the celebration.
2) Creating your own face gems
First, the children get creative by making their very own face gem. With shimmering rhinestones and special adhesive techniques, they design a unique piece that will later be applied during the face painting session.
3) Glitter tattoo time
Next, it’s time for a glitter tattoo. Each child chooses their favorite design and color, and the tattoo is carefully applied. These tattoos last for several days and are a true eye-catcher.
4) Glitter face paint transformation
Then comes the makeover: I transform the children with professional face paint and, of course, lots of glitter. Think sparkling details, shimmering highlights, and a colorful look that perfectly matches their custom face gem. Every child feels like the star of the party.
5) Photo moment
With all the glitter kids ready, we plan a short photo moment, ideally against a festive backdrop. This is the perfect time to capture the sparkling results and create lasting memories together.
6) Closing & souvenir
We end the glitter party with a small thank-you. Each child goes home with their handmade face gem, a beautiful glitter tattoo, and a face full of sparkles — a magical memory that will stay with them long after the party ends.
