Princess Birthday Party

princess birthday party supplies What little girl doesn’t love to be a princess? Dressing up like a princess is an activity that most little girls do on a regular basis. Every little girl has that dream of being a princess and being rescued by the prince. They love to wear the tiara and the big poofy dress, feeling regal and glamorous all along the way. So why not turn that little dream into the perfect theme for a birthday party?

Princess parties have become all the rage because every parent of a little girl knows that this will make their daughter feel special and enjoy every second of their birthday. Princess parties need not be difficult or overly involved to be special.

With some special touches and the incorporation of the princess theme and colors throughout the birthday venue, you are sure to set a scene fit for royalty. Not only will your little girl love the princess party but all of the guests will be taken to the land of "once upon a time".

One thing that makes a princess part extra fun and memorable is to have the guest of honor dressed out completely as a little princess. Here’s a company where you can get cute princes costumes. Be sure to invite the others guests to dress us as well.

Planning

It’s best to begin planning for the party at least 4 - 5 weeks in advance. This will ensure that you have enough time to send out invitations and purchase or make the decorations.

The first consideration that often comes up when planning a birthday party is where to have it. Your backyard or even inside of your home can be magically transformed into whatever you want with just a few choice decorations.

If you plan on making the decorations or invitations yourself, be sure to allow enough time to gather materials and complete the crafts. For those of us on a more pressing time schedule, there are companies that offer everything from pre-assembled princess party birthday kits which include: plates, cups, trinkets and party favors, banner invitations and more-just be mindful of the shipping dates/times.

Tips

Consider renting rarely used items such as tables/chairs or karaoke machines from party rental supply stores to save money.

Allow for extra guests by having a little extra food or a few extra goodie bags on hand.

Encourage guests to come dressed up as little princesses.

Don’t forget to send thank you notes to all those who attend.

Invitations

Every princess party must start off on the right foot and have the perfect invitations to set the tone. Guests should surely know that they are invited to a party fit for royalty the minute that they open their invitations.

For the invitation you might want to include a tiara with them. Be sure to keep with the colors that you will use-often this color scheme involves a lot of pink, and perhaps some purple or silver.You can find some excellent options by visiting here.

You can get a bit more elaborate if you choose to make your own in the shape of a tiara, or even make a scroll in pure royal fashion.

You can also make an invitation that reads like a regal proclamation, something like "Hear Ye, Hear the King and Quest request the honor of your presence at the official crowning of Princess (name) for her birthday on (date and time). You can burn the edges of the invitation (to make it look old) and roll it and tie it with a ribbon or seal it with a drop of wax.

Decorations

The decorations are by far the most important aspect of any princess party. This is where you truly set the tone for the fairy princess and so you need to spend a fair amount of time and money on creating a party atmosphere fit for your little princess. This means of course that there need to be tiaras throughout the party venue, one for each little girl attending. Your little princess however should have the biggest and most decorated tiara of them all as she is the princess of the day.

All streamers, balloons, and signage should use the pink and purple hues that are bound to be a part of your princess party. Just when you think that you have enough pink balloons and streamers, be sure to add a few more. This is in an instance where the more you use the better it will be for the occasion itself. You want signage that reads "Happy Birthday Princess" and little wands make for perfect decorations on all of the tables. You can find some excellent decorations fit for your little princess at www.TBD.com . There should be no doubt that guests are here to celebrate your little princess! To make the party truly special, ask all of the little girls that are attending to dress up in their best princess dresses. That works well or you can have a whole rack of "dress up" items for the girls to enjoy.

Games

When the girls arrive you can have a couple parents or older girls help with this. Have a few tables set up to do make-over. What little girl doesn’t want a princess make-over?

You can have a lot of fun with the games at this princess party. Play up classic games with the theme such as "Princess Says" instead of "Simon Says". This lets your little girl feel front and center and still allows for some really fun party games.

Board games like "Pretty Pretty Princess" whereby the girls all have instructions to dress up and play along with the rules will keep them entertained and be a perfect way to complement the theme.

You can have a scavenger hunt all around the house or yard. Divide the girls into teams and give each team a list items they need to find. Each list will be different except for one item. Each list will have on a magic slipper. Both teams will be looking for this and there will only be one! Hide all sorts of princess trinkets around and they should find these as well. You can give out prizes at the end. Make sure everybody gets a prize!

The Princes and the Pea story makes for a fun game. Tell the story and then let each princess sit on a pillow and try to guess if it is a pea or something else. You can put all sorts of different objects under the pillow and as players get eliminated the objects get smaller and smaller.

Crafts

Little girls love making crafts. Here are a few fun ideas for a princess party.

Girls love to make necklaces. With lots of different colored beads and string let them make princess necklaces.

Using old high heels and glue and glitter they can each make a glitter-gilded slipper for the princess to leave behind at the masked ball.

Another fun using glitter and glue would be let the girls all make and decorate their own paper or cardboard tiara.

Food Ideas

You can have a lot of fun with food just by giving regular items a medieval, princess like names. A masquerade ball punch, prince charming sandwiches, fire dragon pizza….you get the idea. Popcorn balls, cotton candy and heart shaped treats are popular at princess parties.

Cake
The cake for your princess party simply has to be beautiful. There is no doubt about it, the cake at a princess party must be elaborate and gorgeous. It has to incorporate pink frosting, must have a tiara on it somewhere, and really should be big and beautiful. If you want to keep the cost down you can create a multiple layer cake yourself using cake mix and various sizes of pans to give you different sized layers. If you’d like some ideas for cakes or cake toppers be sure to visit www.TBD.com . A perfect cake that keeps with the theme is the most wonderful way to finish up your most regal and beautiful princess affair!

Each little girl attending the princess party should leave with their own royal goodie bag so that they get a nice prize and have something wonderful to remember the affair by.
