Pretty Little Sisters
Every little girl dreams of being a princess. Don't we all want to feel special, important, and know that we're pretty? Pretty Little Sisters is all about dreaming, believing, creating, laughing, eating, friendship, and lots of PS fun. Pretty Little Sisters start young as they are guided in the lessons of "pretty is as pretty does!"
You can start a PLS chapter in your area by throwing a PLS party for your daughter. You may want to purchase a PLS Start-up Party Packto get your party started, and look through the PS Fun: Parties section to find out all about hosting your first party, keeping your Pretty Little Sister in mind.
Note: Each of our PS sponsored events follows the Dream Believe Create pattern. We begin the year dreaming with our annual cruise. Then we believe our dreams into reality as we gather together for our spring conferences. And finally we end the year in celebration of our creations at our holiday luncheons. As you plan the themes for your chapter parties, we encourage you to follow the Dream Believe Create pattern.
Are there traditions I must follow at each party?
Each time your Pretty Little Sisters get together, have them wear their crown and read the PS Pledge to open or close the event. Sprinkle dream dust on the girls the first time they read the pledge together. You can also have them review the PS attributes.

To help jump start your inspiration, here are some fun ideas for PLS parties:
Get together for a little fancy tea/lemonade party Dress up like princesses and rent a Princess movie Dress up for a special outing - a movie, a play or dinner at a nice restaurant Go to an indoor play area, (i.e. the Treehouse in Ogden , UT ) Visit a local Museum, Planetarium, or Imax Take a gondola ride up a mountain, hike and have a picnic Learn how to do Chinese jump-rope, double dutch, hool-a-hoop, etc. Go ice-skating, roller-blading, or try another new sport Do a princess craft project (i.e. make flower necklaces) Go on a treasure hunt at a park followed by a picnic Put on a play, fashion show, variety show, concert or party and let the parents cheer Let the girls come up with their own ideas and help them achieve them Plan activities that builds each others self-worth Support other sisters when they are in dance recitals, performing groups, etc.
