To consider this for my daughter’s birthday?

My daughter turns four at the end of the year. She is one of the youngest in her nursery class. Her nursery is small and there are only about 5 or 6 girls in her room.

I’m trying to organise a party for her and I’m stumped for ideas. Don’t fancy the soft play and it’s December so outdoors is not really an option. House is too small to do anything here.

DD is very “girly”. She loves princesses, having her nails painted, glitter, unicorns etc. They all do. I think nursery must be where it comes from because it’s not from me!

Anyway there is a beauty salon nearby which offers a party option for kids. It is literally just nail varnish, face paint, glitter tattoos and party games. I think DD would love it.

DH is against it. Says he thinks they are too young and that parents will see the venue and say no without realising exactly what it involves. My mum agrees with him.

I don’t see the issue to be honest. Loads of the wee girls have their nails painted for fun. They have glitter tattoos and face painting at all the parties.

But I don’t want to make the wrong call and I am quite happy to be told that this is not a good move. Any thoughts?

I think these alternate ideas sound awesome but I don’t really see anything wrong with the OP’s idea-how about having a party at a salon with the children becoming pirates or princesses? When my kid was younger there was a salon that catered exclusively to children and had a party room in the salon.
