Fashion Show Event SuggestionsBecome your own publicist! You can’t have a fashion show without an audience! Make sure you alert local schools, libraries, youth organizations, and the media about your upcoming fashion show by sending invitations, hanging up flyers, and calling everyone you know! Remember, the more people that attend your fashion show, the more press you and your stars will receive!

Roll out the red carpet! What better way to have your guests arrive in style than by strutting down the red (or pink) carpet (which is the fanciest carpet around)? Get a roll of red wrapping paper, cellophane, or utility paper. Place the start of the roll on the floor at the entrance of your party and roll it out to make your very own carpeted entrance. Your guests will be able to walk down the carpet, pose for pictures, give interviews, and sign autographs in the spotlight.

Calling all fashionistas! Invitations are a very important part of your fashion show. Since you want to have as many people attend your event as possible, you not only have to get the word out, but you also have to do it with style. Using the invitation in this kit, fill in details about your big day, photocopy, cut, and hand them out to everyone. The more guests you have, the more glamorous your event will be!

Dress to impress! This is a fashion show, after all! Make sure all of your guests (girls, boys, moms, and dads) know that all accessories—feather boas, tiaras, ruffles, sparkles, and bows—are welcome. In fact, they are highly encouraged. Dressing fancy is not limited to girls. Some of the fanciest people around are boys.

Notify the paparazzi! Have adult volunteers play the role of the paparazzi (that’s a fancy word for photographers). The volunteer paparazzi should snap photos of each guest as he or she sashays down the red carpet. This way, each guest has his or her own moment of fame.

Swag bags! No fashion show is complete without a swag bag (that is fancy for goodie bag) packed with fancy gifts for your guests. You can decorate regular brown bags with drawings or stickers to create fancy one-of-a-kind swag bags. Then fill them with simple yet glamorous treats like ribbons, stickers, bows, feathers, pens, crystals, balloons—anything sparkly!

See stars! All of the big fashionistas have their hands imprinted (that is fancy for written forever) in a star. You can find reproducible stars in this kit. When the evening is over, have your guests bring home their stars so they can remember this enchanted event.

Autographs, please! Every fashion icon knows that signing autographs is all the rage. Have all of your guests exchange autographs with one another during your soirée. Photocopy the autograph page found in this kit for each guest to use to collect autographs. Remember to remind your guests to sign their names fashionably, not messily.

Suggested materials: scissors, glue, stickers, markers, and other decorating materials

Before the party: 1) Make a photocopy of this page for each guest. 2) Gather the suggested materials.

During the party: 1) Pass out a star to each of your guests. 2) Have each guest cut out a star, then trace his or her hand in the middle of the star. 3) Tell your guests to decorate their stars as fancily as possible.
