Top 10 Ideas for a Princess Themed Birthday Party

The party invitations that you send out set the stage for the party! These can get the kids very excited! The invitation should have a picture related to the kind of party that it is going to be! Inside you should include any special informaiton that you want. For instance, maybe you would like the kids to all wear a pink dress, or a purple t-shirt! Let them know in the invitation. Here are some cute and original invitations that you could choose from!

Children love to see decorations up at a party! Choose a color or two that you would like to use for the party. Maybe pink and purple are the colors that you choose for the princess party. Streamers in these colors can be hung where appropriate, around window frames, along a mantel, you get the idea! Add some pink and purple balloons above the eating area and in different areas around the room. Many party supplies can be purchased at dollar stores and most of them will do hellium balloons too! Here are some fun items.... buttons, bags

When the kids arrive give them each some fun accessories to put on. Maybe a button that says 'Princess' or a pretty tiara, or a magic wand to wave around. Another great idea is to have a dress up box with pretty dresses, grandma's old jewellery, fancy shoes, gloves and whatever else you come up with! Let the girls have fun trying on these fun items!

Now that the kids are all decked out in their princess attire, it's a perfect time for a photograph. Perhaps setting up a photo backdrop with princess decor is appropriate! Take some single photos and group photos. You can give a copy to each of the kids the next time you see them or drop them in the mail, youngsters love to receive mail, especially if it's a photo of them and their friends!

Children love party music! Some great 'Disney' tunes would be perfect to get the kids dancing and moving around. Perhaps designate a specific area for dancing!

Pin the Tiara on the Princess

This is like the old game of 'pin the tale on the donkey' Take a poster or a large picture with a princess on it and pin it to a wall or a bulletin board. Have paper cut outs of 'tiaras' for each of the guests. One by one as they are each blindfolded, they each take a turn trying to pin the tiara on the princess's head! (Instead of pins a piece of tape on the back of each paper cutout, works well) Have a costume tiara for the one who gets it the closest!

Hunt for the Missing Tiara

Plan a treasure hunt for the kids. They look for items related to the princess theme along with the tiara, they could find costume jewels, rings, bracelets, beaded
necklaces, fairy wands, ect. Give out written clues if the kids are old enough to read if not just tell them hints of where to look!
