Party Overview

Here's the schedule for a 2 hour party:
  • Opening Party Craft (15 minutes)
  • Party Games to win cash for Shopping Spree! (35 minutes)
  • Break for Cake Celebration! (30 minutes)
  • Shopping Spree Time! (25 minutes)
  • Party Close (15 minutes)

Pre-party Preparation:
You and your child will have to set up your boutique. You need to decide where to set up the boutique, a separate room from the main party room is preferred, so guest are not touching items before they get to shop. Items you will need for your boutique are:

  1. Boutique Sign with your child's name or a name they choose for their store.
  2. Other signs for store can be a Grand Opening, BOGO, Store Sections
  3. Price signs, assign $1.00 table, $5.00 table or signs that state the price of items.
  4. Paper Money - $1, $5, $10, $20.. you can make your own too!
  5. Items to sell. Party Favors like jewelry, nail polish, hats, etc.
  6. Set up a cashier area. Mom will be the checkout person or your child can be after they shop!
  7. Brown paper handle bags for shoppers!
  8. Craft items to decorate shopping bags.

Choose games in which everyone can be a winner and win play money for shopping. Plan on 4-5 games. Here are some game ideas.   

Game Ideas

Purse Memory Game

Price Is Right?  
Fill an empty purse with about 20 items that you would find in a purse. Items like lipstick, keys, compact, brush, makeup, pen, fake credit card, toy cell phone, etc. are good. Each child is given a pen and a piece of paper. Dump the contents of the purse onto a tray and give everyone 20 seconds to view all the items. They have to try to remember as many items as they can. They can't start writing until 20 seconds is up and you cover all the items and take the tray away. If a child can't spell well have them draw a picture. No sharing or peeking at other's list. After everyone is done, bring the tray back and go over the items on their list. For each correct answer, they win $1 in play money for their shopping spree. Like on the TV show, show them two items and let them guess which item cost the most. You can use photos of items instead of actual items. Each child is given a chance to play. If they guess right they win $5 in play money.
