Perfect Princess Party
If you have a little girl, sooner or later you're going to have a princess themed party. With a bit of creativity, you can give your daughter the party of her dreams for her next birthday.
Princess Party Venue: Choose a location that looks elegant or can easily be transformed into an elegant spot. Some choices include ballrooms, a large room in your house, or a large covered are in the park or in your backyard (you can use a large tent to achieve this)
Princess Party Decor: Your decor will have to be extravagant, not saying you have to use a lot, but it needs to look elegant as well. Use sheer fabric or tulle to drape around the space instead of paper streamers. Use a large amount of pink and white balloons with green ribbon curls hanging down into the party space. Stick paper or silk flowers EVERYWHERE (including on the walls) and hang a few on the ends of the balloon ribbons. Use various sized paper cutouts on the walls embellished with glitter and have all banners printed or drawn on fabric so that they look like fancy scrolls. Cover all seating with sheer pink fabric and secure it in place with large green ribbons.
Princess Party Tablescapes: Cover each table with a solid white cover first, then layer on a slightly smaller pink cover, and finish it with a green runner. All layers should be visible. For centerpieces, arrange short vases down the center of the runner and fill them with sand and paper or silk flowers (vases do not have to match). Inter-weave the vases with pink and white ribbon scraps. Just kind of let the ribbons fall into place, you don't want them to look neat. You can either use all pink, all green ,or all white tableware. For a less dramatic look, mix and match tableware styles and colors.
Princess Party Invitations/Thank Yous: You can either buy invitations and thank you notes or you can make them yourself. On your computer, type up what you want your invitations to say and print as many as you need. Cut and paste the printouts onto embellished pink or white card stock. Use ribbons, glitter, and tiny beads to make your invitations come to life.
Princess Party Favors: Wrap candies in sheer fabric to make little princess bundles. Tie them off with curled ribbon. Purchase or buy jeweled crowns and tiaras. In addition to the candies, you could also throw in pink hi-bounce balls, sunglasses, or hair accessories.
Princess Party Games:
princess charades: kids take turns acting out princess themed characters while others guess what they are trying to act out
musical dress up: lay out one article of clothing per child minus one. sit kids on one side of room and dress up items on the other side. start the music. when music stops, children mus race across the room and put on one dress up item. the kid who fails to put something on is out (and gets a special prize for playing).
pin the tail on the dragon: Draw a tail-less dragon on a poster board. Make a separate fabric tail. (use velco as the connector instead of pins or tape) Blindfold each child and have them try to "pin" the tail on the dragon
court jester: let kids sit in a big circle around the "it" kid. the "it" kid has to do whatever she can to make the other kids laugh. first one to laugh is it.
Princess Party Prizes: use simple prizes like beaded trinkets, candy, and simple toys
Princess Party Menu: think rustic when you're planning a menu for a princess
cupcakes with pink/white/green frosting
pink lemonade
chicken fingers
pink ranch dip
carrot sticks
fruit chunks
