Decorations
Decorate with pretty pink tablecloths and sprinkle glitter and
sequins on the table - then cover with a clear plastic tablecloth. Throw
in splashes of purple or blue for fun. Cover the chairs with matching
material then gather the
material to the back of the chairs and secure
with a rubber band. Place pretty flowers in the rubber band for a
elegant look. On the table place tiara’s at each place setting. Fancy
china would complete the look, or use pretty
paper plates in a solid
pink or grey. If you are using plastic cups make them extra special by
sticking on “stick-on”
jewels - looks really pretty with clear cups.
Attach pink and white helium filled balloons to the back of the
chairs. For a royal entrance place a red (or pink)
carpet from the
street to the front door leading into the house. An easy decorating idea
is to blow up lots (and lots!)
of pink and white balloons and place them
covering the party room floor. This sets the mood for a very special
party
and kids love to dance and move through them.
Hang clear Christmas lights around the party room. Streamers are also
an easy way to make the room look festive.
Cut 15 - 20 lengths of crepe
paper at least 15 feet each. Start in the middle of the room and tape
one end of each streamer in a 8 - 9” circle. One by one pick up the
other end of the streamer and tape it about 6 - 8 feet from the
center
circle. Create a dip in the center of the steamers - if you are feeling
creative twist two colors of crepe paper together.
If you are adventurous , and a little creative, make the front door look like the entrance to a castle - including the drawbridge.
Fun Ideas
This is a great idea for when it is time to open the presents. Before
the party decorate 2 chairs to look like thrones.
You can use cardboard
or drape a high back chair with a fancy blanket. Set the chairs up next
to each other at the
front of the room with a table in the middle of the
chairs. On the table place a basket filled with the party favors and
goodie bag for each child. When it is time for the princess to open her
presents let her sit in one of the chairs. One
by one have an adult
announce the name of a child like this “Hear ye, hear ye .. Announcing
Princess ________ (fill
in with the name of a guest). Then have that
guest take their present to the birthday girl and sit in the chair
beside
her. The birthday girl will accept her present and then offer the
guest a goody bag filled with party favors. They
can both open the items
while they are sitting on the “thrones”. This is a great photo
opportunity for you to
photograph your child individually with each
guest. (You can also include these princess photo’s in the thank you
note to each girl - and they make a great scrapbook page.)
Games
Princess Dress Up Relay Game
Gather two sets of fun clothes (long dresses, tutu’s, high heels,
tiaras, hats, wigs, long socks … etc. ) in two baskets. Place the
baskets at one end of the room and make lines with tape on the other
side of the room where the teams
will line up. Divide guests into two
teams and have the first person in each line run to the baskets, put on
the
clothes … then run back to the starting line to tag a teammate …
then run back to the basket and take off the
funny items. When all the
items are back in the basket they run to the starting line and tag the
next person in line.
The second person then goes and puts on all the
items … etc.
Pass the Royal Parcel Game
Before the party take a small box and wrap it in pretty paper. Attach a small prize to the outside of the paper and then wrap the box again in a different color paper. Continue until the box has been wrapped at least as many times as the number of guests you are expecting at the party.
Have the girls sit in a circle and start playing music. The guests will pass the present around the circle until the music stops. When the music stops the princess holding the package will carefully unwrap one layer of paper and she gets to keep the prize. Start the music again and continue until everyone has had a chance to open the present and receives a prize.
Pin the Tiara on the Princess
Played like the classic party game Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only guests pin a tiara on a poster of a princess.
Royal Treasure Hunt for Cinderella’s Shoe
Set up a fun treasure hunt with clues for Cinderella’s shoe. Create a story about Cinderella (the most famous princess) and how she lost her shoe. Tell the children that the mice have left clues to where to find the lost shoe. Lead the princesses through the house with different clues until the last clue leads them to the lost shoe filled with candy, necklaces and prizes to share.
The lost shoe is easy to make …. Find a pretty high heel at a garage sale and spread glue all over the outside of it. Sprinkle on glitter to make it shine.
Freeze Dance
This is a fun game especially if you blow up lots and lots of balloons and spread them on the floor. (It’s really fun if they completely cover the floor.) Put on some lively music and let the girls dance around in the balloons. Then stop the music and shout “freeze”. The dancing princesses must freeze until the music starts again.
Pretty, Pretty Princess
Is a favorite board game for most little girls. Easy to find at a toy store with the board games. Princesses take turns winning jewelry to wear. If you have a scavenger hunt let this game be one of the treasures at the end and the girls can play it after the hunt.
Activities
Have a Royal Princess Tea Party with pink lemonade in the tea pot and
sugar cubes. Set out pretty plates of petite fours, chocolates and small
finger sandwiches.
Decorate princess crowns

Decorate pillow cases with pink fabric paint and write “Princess ________“ (name of girl).
Decorate fairy wands or scepters
Bubble wands - princesses can also pop bubbles with their scepters or wands.
Food
Pink lemonade punch or pink lemonade served in a teapot that the
guests can pour themselves. Leave out the sugar and let the guest
sweeten their own drinks with sugar cubes.
Make pretty sandwiches and cut them out with a star shaped cookie cutter.
Cheese (cut with a cookie cutter into princess shapes) and crackers.
Make a batch of rice krispie treats and cut out in heart shapes.
Wand cookies - Make sugar cookies and cut into star shapes. Before baking place a long lollipop stick into each cookie and then decorate. Give as a treat at the party or wrap in cellophane and place in the goody bag.
