8 year old makeover/spa party?

Question

we are having a party for 8 yr old girls, and i need some ideas for food to serve. It needs to be spa/makeover themed, but food an 8 year old would eat. please include recipes if it a specific dish. Thank you for all your help.

Answer 1

gosh! thats one lucky 8 year old!

The idea of sandwhiches is definantly good. But I would suggest gormet style http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/2757/gou... these look yummy!!

but not something 8 year olds will eat..

It's probably best to go with the main idea of fairy cakes (i like these ideas for cakes http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/search.p... )

have chips and dip, but also have carrots and celery and dip, just to keep a little with the theme. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/search.p... are some party foods you could make. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/collecti...

I don't think your daughter wants it to be like those health spas where all you can eat is avacado and vita wheats, Make sure you have lots of nail polishes and face masks! I loved to play with things like that... still do :P

I don't know, but maybe you could try serving sushi if she does want something sophisticated. You don't have to use fish (sushi actually means sticky rice, not raw fish, thats sushimi or something) you can have all kinds!

I hope this helps, sorry its all over the place

Answer 2

a makeover/spa party for an 8 year old?  I remember when kids wanted a clown or something...

Answer 3

my 8 year old wants one of these parties as well.

finger sandwiches are always great for kids, and they are kinda spa-ish.  you probably wouldn't want to make the cucumber kinds, but regular sandwiches with the crusts cut off would be good.  after you cut the crusts off, cut them in half so there are two rectangles.  Or, to get more fancy, you can get out your cookie cutters and cut the sandwiches out in some fun shapes.

fruit is yummy and healthy.  make some fruit shish ka bobs (however you spell it) to make it a little more 'upscale'.  use pineapple, strawberries, grapes.  yummy.
