Bratz Party Decorations
Outdoor decorations:

Line a walkway with Shimmer Stars. With masking or duct tape, tape the stars to the sidewalk or walkway leading to your door or the party room. Use a glitter pen to write the name of the guests on them.

Attach a bouquet of helium-filled Balloons to a light post or mailbox so there will be no mistaking where the fun will be that day!

Indoor Decorations:

Download and print out pictures from the Bratz website. Print in black and white and let the Birthday girl color them, or print them in color. You can have them blown up at a local copy center too.

You could also have one blown up for a "Pin the Lips on the Bratz Doll Game"

You can also have some of the pictures of lips blown up and cut them out. Or make your own on red construction paper. Hang on walls, use as "steps" leading to the front door or party room, or even hanging from the ceiling on red or pink ribbons.

Hang red and pink Balloons all over the party room.

If the Birthday Girl has any bratz doll accessories and figurines, place these around the room as well. One of the small Bratz Dolls can be placed on the cake too!

Use pink feather boas on chairs, couch backs. around tables for the full diva effect

If you purchase only one decoration for this birthday party…this is the one to buy! The spectacular Bratz Diva Stage will be the hit of the party and will provide hours of entertainment. This 3-D stage provides the perfect backdrop for the ultimate fashion photo-shoot and for an extravagant fashion show staged by the birthday girl and her funky friends.

No fashion show would be complete without special effects. Add Party Lights and a Fog Machine to create the biggest and best birthday bash ever!

Metallic, vinyl, star, holographic and cracked ice Curtains in an array of colors provide an economical way to add dazzle to a doorway, food area or “runway” entry.

Add one or a few of the following touches to personalize your table:

Place one holographic silver 12” Metallic Foil Quasar Shimmer Stars under each plate as a “placemat”.

Try the 3-D Star or Star Plume Centerpiece for big table impact at a budget price.

Display your birthday cake in the center of the table - the girls will love the close up view!

Bratz Party Activities

A Bratz party just wouldn’t be complete without some cutting-edge fashion fun! This theme is perfect for any little girl who has ever sashayed through the living room modeling a new outfit, dreaming of walking down a catwalk in New York, Paris or Milan!

Body Jewels are always a big hit and both are perfect party starters. Let those who arrive early get “Be-Jeweled” while they wait for all the guests to arrive.

Passion for Fashion Dress-up - Gather all the fun dress-up clothing you can find (or borrow from friends)…fun, fancy, foo-foo outfits (size is completely irrelevant), pink feather boas, faux fur wraps, hi-heeled play shoes, pleather pants or skirts, capes, etc. As each guest arrives, invite her to the design studio to prepare for the fashion show. There several fabulous Costume Options for every girl to X-press her fashion sense, including sunglasses to cut the glare from photographer’s flashbulbs and blazing spotlights!

A Karaoke Machine is the perfect birthday gift for a catwalk super-star, and it can be used throughout the party. No fashion show would be complete without special effects. Add Party Lights and a Fog Machine to create the biggest and best birthday bash ever!

Next, have the pint sized trendy girls take to the runway! The Bratz Diva Stage will bring out the “sassy” in the shyest of girls. If some of the girls are timid to begin with, have the adults leave the room for a short time. Watch the girls transform into fashion mavens! This backdrop provides a great setting for a stylin’ photo-shoot, a rockin’ fashion show, and for hours of fun as each girl takes a turn in the spotlight! An adult should be the commentator for the fashion parade, until the girls get comfortable. Then they can take turns introducing each other, “Next, we have Chelsea, wearing some faaaabulous turquoise snake skin pleather pants, a daaarling and daring black sequined top with to-die-for feather cuffs on the sleeves.” The more dramatic, flashy and flattering the commentary, the better!

If you wish, you could hire a dance instructor or high school girl to come to the party to choreograph a dance or direct a fashion shoot video. Invite parents to come 15 minutes prior to the end of the party, and let the girls perform a mini fashion show for them. Every little girl should enjoy at least 15 minutes of fame!

Have parents ask for autographs and take lots of photos of the group.

From Creativity for Kids, check out the Invisible Illusions Jewelry Craft Kit and a Smackers’ Lip Balm Craft Kit, and both are perfect for this theme.

Create a “Shop till you Drop Scavenger Hunt”, by hiding plenty of Stick on Jewels, Crystal Rings, Glitter Bracelets and other small, inexpensive treasures, and letting the girls search for them.

Try the wonderful Nail Polish piñata - we’ve yet to find a stylish girl who doesn’t want to take a swing at one at a party. Bratz love to be showered with compliments and with candy and treats!

Meygan’s Makeover - Make your guests feel like their favorite Bratz girls with a little make-up! Apply a bit of blush, eye shadow and lip gloss for a quick makeover. For a more extensive transformation, ask a teen or fun-loving mom to give manicures or pedicures. Provide scented lotion to rub on hands or feet, and offer a few different colors of nail polish for your guests to choose from. Once nails are dry, let guests pick out tiny stickers to add to each nail if they wish.

Sasha's Scarves - Kids love choosing their own clothes, so they’re sure to enjoy designing their own personalized head scarves! Before the party, cut squares of solid, light-colored cotton fabric. Make sure the pieces are large enough to tie around your guests’ heads.

Before decorating, spread a plastic covering over your table so it’s not damaged if colors bleed. Use fabric pens or sponges dipped in fabric paint to decorate the scarves. Your guests might also enjoy decorating with faux gems and fabric glue. Dry the scarves in a safe place until they’re ready to wear!

Cloe’s Glamour Shots - Your guests can be as glamorous as their favorite Bratz characters! Collect dress-up items from friends, neighbors, secondhand stores and your own closet to create a fashion wardrobe. Encourage the girls to dress up in the items of their choice and have fun!

Once your guests don their fashionable attire, give them the opportunity to show themselves off in a fashion show. You can be emcee by announcing each child’s name and describing her fashions. Upbeat music will enhance the event as your guests strut their stuff and pose for glamour shots!
Instant photos make great party favors your guests can take home with them. You can also send digital phots to your guests after the party, or make prints and include them with thank-you notes from the birthday child.

Yasmin’s Limbo Contest - Your guests will have a blast with this challenging game! Put on some music and start the contest while the girls are still dressed up from the previous activity.
To begin, two players hold a long pole between them so it is level. (Make sure the pole is at an easy height to start with.) One at a time, guests bend over backward and try to pass under the pole without falling or touching the ground with their hands. After everyone has a turn, the pole is lowered and everyone tries to pass under it again. If players touch the pole or use their hands, they are out of the game. Continue to lower the pole each round until there’s one player left!

Jade’s Jewelry - Your party guests will have a lot of fun with this trend-setting activity! All you’ll need is string and enough beads so each guest can make at least one piece of jewelry. Hobby stores often sell large bags of beads for this type of activity, or you can choose them individually. Look for beads with letters, beads that sparkle or shine, and beads with unique shapes.

At the party, use the materials to make necklaces, bracelets, anklets, chokers, etc. If you wish, pre-cut lengths of string to fit wrists, necks, ankles, etc. before your guests arrive. Remember to allow a few extra inches of string to tie the jewelry closed more easily. 

Disco Dance - Everyone knows the Bratz love to go out dancing, so put on some funky tunes and let your guests move to the music! Hang a disco ball in the center of the room and turn down the lights for more fun!

Bratz Party Food Ideas:

Kids can’t wait to get their hands on these south of the border snacks! To prepare, purchase chicken breasts, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a package of flour tortillas. Cook the chicken and slice it into thin strips before the party.

When it’s time to eat, add cheese and a few strips of chicken to half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half, place on a baking sheet, and lightly coat the top of each one with butter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Cut quesadillas into pie shapes and serve warm with salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!

Veggie & Fruit Tray
Everyone loves finger food, and you’ll feel good knowing your guests are eating a healthy snack. Slice carrots and spread celery sticks with peanut butter. Arrange on a tray with cherry tomatoes, olives, and other vegetables your child enjoys.

Slice up cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon for a fruit platter. Add grapes, slices of apple, oranges, strawberries, bananas, and more!

Baked Potato Bar
Your Bratz fans will love dressing up their baked potatoes just the way they like them! To prepare, bake enough potatoes for all your guests prior to the party and reheat them just before meal time. Provide a variety of favorite toppings such as butter, chives, sour cream, bacon bits, salsa, cheese, and anything else your child likes!

Mocha Coolers
Treat your guests to a special treat that tastes just like a mocha cappuccino! To serve six, you'll need crushed ice, straws, tall clear glasses, and the following ingredients: 2 Tbs. cocoa powder; 6 Tbs. honey; 6 cups nonfat milk; 2 Tbs. instant decaffeinated coffee.

Combine cocoa, honey, and 2 cups milk in a saucepan. Stir until blended and gradually add remaining milk. Slowly warm over low heat, stirring frequently. Add instant coffee and mix until completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Let stand.

Fill each glass halfway with crushed ice and fill up with the mocha mixture. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate powder or chocolate flakes. Add a sprig of mint for fun!
Note: For guests who don't like coffee, simply make instant cocoa. For variety, add a shot of flavoring such as mint or vanilla. Serve it over ice with the same toppings suggested above.

Homemade “Ice Cream” Sandwiches
For these fun treats, you’ll need a box of graham crackers, skim milk, one box of instant pudding mix and a container of Cool Whip®.

To begin, combine 1/4 cup milk, dry pudding mix and Cool Whip in a large mixing bowl; beat until smooth. Break graham crackers in half to create two equal squares. Spread pudding mixture on a cracker square and top with another cracker to make a sandwich. Repeat until you’ve finished using all the pudding mix or graham crackers, whichever comes first.

Wrap sandwiches in plastic and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. (Makes 25-30 sandwiches.)
 

Super Star Cake!
What you’ll need:
1- Cake mix
Star Shaped pan
1- 16 oz. container of ready-made frosting (Reserve ¼ cup to frost the snowball.)
Wiltontm Violet coloring paste or gel
Hostess Snowballtm
Hostess HoHotm
Silver Dragees (edible silver balls)
Giant Silver Star to use as a cake board. (The remaining stars in the set can be used in your decorating.)

Bake the cake according to the directions on the package. Place the star cake on the star-shaped board. Frost with violet tinted icing. Cover the top of the Snowballtm with white frosting and then roll it in the silver dragees. Place the snowball on the top of the cake. Add the HoHotm to the bottom of the snowball to make it look like a microphone. Attach two silver dragees with frosting to the HoHotm to create an off/on switch. Add Zig Zag candles and enjoy!

If you prefer cupcakes, try making these easy “Microphones”, which are guaranteed crowd pleasers:

What you’ll need:
1 Cake mix
24 flat-bottomed cones
16 oz. container of frosting
Silver Dragees

Prepare mix according to the directions on the package. Spoon about ¼ cup of the batter mix into each cone. Place cones in muffin tin for easiest handling. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely, frost the top of the cone, and then roll the frosted part of the “cupcake” in the silver dragees. 

As the excitement is so high at children’s birthday parties, most children under the age of 10 or 11 will eat very little, and the waste can be disheartening. If you wish, schedule your party during a time when parents will not expect that their children will eat a meal, and serve only cake, ice cream, and a few other fashionable munchies.

If you decide to serve a light meal, serve food that you would typically find at a mall food court (the fav hang-out of Bratztm) -- pizza by the slice, nachos, burgers and fries or soft pretzels.
