Give your child her dream princess party.

Invitations
Start out with royal invitations. They can begin with: ROYAL PROCLIMATION or HEAR YE, HEAR YE. Then: Your presence is requested or Her Royal Highness (then give your princess a royal name such as:Princess Abby of River Heights) invites you to her castle ( your address here), to celebrate this the blank (her age here) year of her birth. Include the time and if you want them to dress up write Royal Attire Requested, or Castle Casual. Use a princess font or even the Disney font on your computer.

Decor
Decorate to bring out your theme. Make a throne for the birthday girl by hanging sheets or tulle like the backdrop to a throne. Center a dining room or armed chair in the front and cover it with “royal” linen to complete the look. Hang princess posters or drape tulle, from your local fabric store, on the walls. It's cheap and pretty. Use silk or real flowers to add color and charm.

Activities
For your activity, create something they can take home. Hairpieces like headbands, berets or even elastics are fun to make. Jewelry, jewelry boxes, purses, flip flops or even picture frames also make great crafts and can double as a party favor. Get basic supplies from your local craft store. You'll want a hot glue gun, supervised by an adult, and lots of jewels, flowers, ribbons and beads.

Do makeovers. Princesses love to get their hair and makeup done. Double as a spa party and do manicures and pedicures. Make sure you have help and a lot of mirrors.

Decorate princess cupcakes or cookies. You will need a lot of sprinkles and candy.

Make the birthday girl a memory book. Have each guest make a page or two for the book. They could craft a picture of the princess and/or write a story about her. Use stickers, glue on jewels and glitter, markers, crayons and acid free paper.

Food
Little sandwiches and finger foods are easy and less messy. Fruit, especially strawberries, make great princess food. Make some kind of punch mixed with a little bit of soda or use sparkling cider. Find plastic stemware for the girls to drink out of. Pink goblets make any table setting royal. For dessert use the princess cupcakes or turn any sheet cake into a princess cake by topping with a tiara or princess figurines.

Party Favors
Use something you made together during the activity as party favors. If you want to do something more give each girl a tiara or small bag of costume jewelry. You could hand out plastic princess shoes or even wrap around princess dresses. Not only are these dresses are great for the atmosphere of your party, they're inexpensive and they make awesome party favors.

Princess Party Ideas Part 1

First things first, you need to get guests to your Princess Party right? Here are some ideas that we thought might be cute.

1. The Scroll Invitation - A decree to all princesses that there is to be a royal party! Roll up a scroll on parchment paper with a ribbon bow tied around it. Declare on the royal proclamation that there is to be a royal party, held in honor of... and by order of the King and Queen of the land, all available princesses are cordially invited. Be sure to remind them that it will be a dress up party, so be sure to bring your favorite princess dress. Don't forget to seal this with an official princess wax seal. You should be able to find these at any local craft stores.
   
2. Glitter Crown Logos - use a small bead of Elmer's glue on the top of your invitation and draw out the shape of a princess crown. Then, sprinkle pink and purple glitter all over it. Allow it to try, and you will have a raised sparkle logo at the top of your royal invitation.
3. Princess Crown Invite - Either buy, or cut out from colored paper some paper princess crowns that will fit on your guest's heads. Decorate with jewel stickers and glitter. On the inside rim of the crown, write out the invitation to the party including any directions and be sure to include that it's a princess dress up party. Then, tape it into crown form, and hang on the doorknob at the guest's house. They will have a crown ready to go for the party!

Be sure to check back often for more ideas for your next princess party!
