Prince Birthday Party Ideas

Birthday party ideas for a Prince theme birthday party.  Celebrate with these fun and easy do it yourself party ideas. 

Prince Party Decoration Ideas
Decorate for the Prince themed party with any of these fun ideas.  Tie helium balloons in silver, white and blue to the mailbox or outside the party area so guests will know where the party is located.  On butcher paper or brown rolls of wrapping paper draw bricks on one side and tape it down to the walkway of the party entrance.  Attach plastic chains (can be found at hardware stores) on either side of the house and to the ground on either side of the walkway to make a drawbridge for an entrance.  If the party will be at night hang strings of lights in the trees outside the party.  Make a sign that says "The __________'s (name of family) Castle".  Hang banners or flags (the type that would be seen on castles) outside leading up to the entrance. 

Decorate the party table in blues and grays.  Cups can be decorated with stick on jewels before the party or let guests decorate their own.  Drape blue fabric over the chairs and gather in the back with a rubber band.  Place foam swords in the rubber bands. 

When the Prince opens his presents
Decorate 2 big chairs with fabric or blankets so they look like thrones.  Wingback chairs work great or use stiff cardboard to make a low back chair into a throne.  Set the two thrones together and place a small table in between them. Place the goody bags in a basket on the small table or you can fill the basket with wrapped small prizes.  When the little prince is opening presents sit him in a throne.  One by one announce the party guests by saying  “Hear ye, hear ye! Announcing Prince ________ . The child takes their present and gives it to the prince and sits in the throne beside him. The birthday boy will accept the present give guest their goody bag or prize. They can then both open a present together. Great way to get pictures with the prince and each guest.

Games for a Prince Birthday Party
Royal Jousting
Place two blocks of wood or low step stools about 2 feet apart. Two at a time give the Prince and his guests a pool noodle and step up onto the platform. They have to try and knock each other off their platform with the pool noodle within 1 minute. Let everyone have a turn.

Sword Fight with Bubbles
Give each guest a foam sword.  Have several adults blow bubbles (or use a bubble machine) and have the princes pop the bubbles with their swords.

Sword and Coin Race
Teams use a foam sword and try to balance them on the sword and get all their coins into the treasure box first. Give each team a container that contains 25 or more plastic coins.  Set two treasure boxes across from the teams.  Balance one coin on the sword and race to put it in the box. Then the second person goes until every coin is inside their treasure box. If someone drops a coin the child has to put it back in the container and gives the sword away to the waiting child in line.

Variation:  After playing the first round make guests balance two coins and then three and four coins on the swords instead of one.  

Dragon Egg Hunt
Buy colorful plastic eggs and then fill them with small toys, prizes or candy. Tell the kids that they are dragon eggs and they must find them all to rid the kingdom of the dragons. Hide the dragon eggs before the Prince party starts.  To make it easy to collect the dragon eggs give the guests a sack or basket to hold the eggs they find. Variation:  Hide chocolate gold coins instead of dragon eggs (or hide both!) and tell the Princes it is the Dragons treasure.
