The Perfect Princess Party

The Perfect Princess Party

Want to make it really simple?  Our Princess Party Page has EVERYTHING you need for the perfect party from invitations to cake decorations to Party Favors!    Princess Party Pack

A princess birthday party is what almost every little girl dreams of at some point in her childhood. Make your little princess' dream a reality by planning the perfect princess party for her. There are so many things you can do with the princess theme that will be both fun and incredibly memorable. Regardless of what you decide to do be sure that there are plenty of cameras on hands for lots of fantastic pictures.

Invitations can be simple or as elaborate as you want.  Royal Purple invitations can be purchased almost anywhere, or you can purchase parchment paper and do your own "Royal" invitation.  Just roll them up, tie them with a ribbon or sealing wax and hand deliver.  Don't forget to add a little "glitter" inside your paper for extra fun.  Invitations in a Bottle  will delivery your invitation complete with bottle to the lucky little girls and boys on your list.

Decorations are only limited by your imagination.  Pink and purple streamers, glitter, dress up clothes, and mirrors are all the things princess love. You can hang glittery stars from the ceiling and blow up pink, purple and silver balloons to either place around the floor or float to the ceiling (with helium).  If your party is at night, you can line the driveway with candles in white paper bags or add Christmas lights to the trees and indoor plants. 

 Of course you will need princess plates, cups & table goods.  You can find good sources of these and other princess items below.

Of course, a Princess won't feel like a Princess unless she's dressed right....you can find some fantastic princess costumes perfect for the party at Buy Costumes.  They offer same day shipping and some great discounts. 

And what kind of princess doesn't wear a tiara....These Princess Tiaras  are great, not just for the birthday princess, but for everyone! 

There are all kinds of great party games that can be played at a princess party and the best place to look for inspiration is your favorite childhood fairy tales. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey how about a rousing game of kiss the frog? Instead of running around with a tail to pin in a donkey your little princess and all of her princess friends can run around trying to pin a pair of puckered lips on the frog. It's a fun variation on a traditional birthday party favorite.

If you'd like a themed party game, try our Princess Bingo Game...and offer some fun prizes.

For crafts you can have each party princess make her very own tiara to wear for the day's festivities. It's a lot of fun, it gets all the little girls together, quietly one hopes, in one spot and concentrating on a specific task. They will also have this great keepsake to bring home with them. You'll want to be sure to get a photo of each princess wearing her tiara as another souvenir. You can also opt to craft a photo frame in the princess theme for each princess to make to hold her tiara photo and take home with her. Crafts are often quite inexpensive and are a lot of fun for the little princesses and their moms to work on together.  There are some great pre-packaged crafts available if you'd like to save some time.  Just click the picture for more information, or click here:   Princess Hat Craft Kit   Magic Glitter Wand Craft Kit

Keep the food down to finger food that is low mess and princess approved. Cake and ice cream are almost required but if the party is going to last for any length of time you might want to include ham and cheese rollups, finger sandwiches, a fruit and veggie tray, and a few cookies for a light lunch and a little nourishment for the parents that brave the onslaught of pink to come along. Don't forget to have princess punch with your favorite red powdered drink, ginger ale (or lemon lime soda), and vanilla ice cream. Of course no princess party is really complete with a bard telling tales. Have readings of favorite princess fairy tales and perhaps a viewing of a beloved fairy tale movie (such as Disney's Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, or Snow White). This provides a little more quiet time in which the princesses can settle down and the craft table can be cleaned up to prepare for the cake, ice cream, and presents later on.

A cake is always important to the princess and there are so many things you can do.  If you want something really special you can use some of our cake decorating tips here:  Princess Cake Decorations

Don't forget to get great goodie bags for all the little princess guests. One of the best ideas I've found is a Princess Purse filled with little brushes, lip-gloss, and plastic jewelry make a great haul for the guests and are a lot of fun to put together. Decorations should be rather simple, pink and lavender or green streamers are great for the theme and confetti followed with plates, cups, and napkins in a color that is appropriate for the party theme (if there is a specific princess being honored) are a great beginning and younger children really do not need much more decoration than that unless of course you have a princess that has a soft spot for balloons. In that case enough cannot be said about the importance of balloons.

All in all, creating a spectacular princess party for your little princess isn't as difficult as one might think and can be done quite nicely even on a budget. The important thing is to have plenty of food and plenty of fun items and activities to keep your little princess and all of her princess friends busy from the beginning to the end of the party.
