What is it about adding a little play shop to a party that absolutely captivates the little guests attention?

I’m sure part of it is that there is no one to reign in, no one to set any kind of shopping limitations (and that the other big draw is the play money- haha!).

Whatever the case, every time I add a little shoppe, or boutique, or market to a party, I remember all over again what an absolute hit they are!

And the bow-tique at Evie’s Bow Party was no exception! The idea was inspired by Little Miss Evie’s love of Minnie Mouse’s Bow-tique.

To put it together, we gathered all sorts of different bows and bow ties (and later, we brought in a couple jars of sweets as well so that the boys at the party would have more shopping options) and set up “Evie’s Bow-tique,” complete with a cash register and the all-important play money.

And Evie and her birthday party guests loved it even more than we expected or hoped!
