Princess Party: A Day of Make Believe

Princess themed parties don't ever seem to get old and I can understand why. Being a princess comes with many perks...a beautiful castle, great outfits, a pink pony and a handsome prince. It also comes with such wonderful make believe: wishes granted, fun adventures, rainbows and magical moments.


If you are wanting to create a princess party for your little girl, here is some inspiration to get you started:

Of course, pink and purple seems to be a consistent color pallet when it comes to princess related items, so your decor could revolve around those two colors. Balloons, table cloths, even favors could fall within the pink/purple realm. But, before you get to decorating, guests must be properly invited.


Use invitation wording such as, "Hear ye, hear ye! By royal decree you have been invited to Princess Maddison's 5th birthday party..." Close the invitation by encouraging guests to come in princess dress. Below are two darling invitation options by http://www.urbanitystudios.com/ for your little girl's party.

Once the guests arrive, their first order of business in the royal court could be to make their very own tiaras. Oriental trading sells kits that come complete with tiaras, jewels as well as wands and ribbon to complete the ensemble. After the guests have created their accessories for the party, its time to get busy. One game could be to "pin the jewel on the crown," as seen below.

This game is simple and with some poster board or butcher paper, you can easily create your crown and jewels. Learn more at CountryLiving.com.

Another very fun game could be magical thrones (just like musical chairs) or duck, duck, princess (variation on duck, duck goose).

After cake and ice cream, have the guests settle down to a classic princess movie like Cinderella.

When it is time for everyone to head home, send them on their way with a favor. The favor could be as simple as a crown cookie with their name on it in frosting

or an assortment of candy jewelery including a ring pop, a candy necklace and candy bracelet.

Hosting a princess party yourself? I would love to hear your ideas. Until next time, happy make believing.
