First decide where you would like to have the party. Having it at your house is fun, but a great alternative is to rent a room at a fancy hotel. You can do this for about the same amount as a party at a tea room or gymnastics center.
Decide what type of party will be more enjoyable for your daughter- having friends over for a few hours or a slumber party.
The one thing that you went to keep in mind is that everything you do needs to be focused on girl fun with no boys allowed.
Hire a friend who is a high school or college girl to come to the party and help you. This way, you can enjoy all of the activities with your daughter instead of running around taking care of too many details.
Keep the guest list small. Fewer girls equals more fun and more time for activities. However, be careful not to make it too small as too few girls can result in someone feeling left out.

The type of food you serve at your next girls birthday party depends on what type of party you're planning. If it's a slumber party, pizza is easy and is the way to go. The girls will be so into all of the fun that they not will want to spend lots of time eating.

It doesn’t matter what you serve at the tea party for lunch or dinner, as long as the atmosphere and table setting have that special "tea party" look and feel.

Girls Birthday Party Ideas - Cake

This girls birthday party is all about “girly” fun!

Before the party, go to the cake decorating of your favorite discount, craft, or kitchen store. Buy as many fun girly sprinkles and toppings as you can. Also, buy pink icing, the cake flavor of your choice, and girly cupcake holders.

At the party, let the girls make the cupcakes themselves (or you can prebake the cupcakes to save time). When the cupcakes are done, let the girls all sit around the kitchen table and decorate them with fun girly toppings.

Give your daughter candles to stick into her cupcake. Then let her blow out the candles and make a wish. This would also be a great time to open presents.
