deliver invitations.

SCROLL INVITATIONS - Use scrapbook scroll paper or parchment paper and print party details on computer using Old English font or write them in calligraphy. Roll up, tie with pink satin ribbon, and hand-deliver. For added fun, have invitations delivered by dad, brother, or a teenager dressed in a prince costume.

GLASS SLIPPER INVITATIONS - Decorate clear Cinderella glass slipper party favor with glitter, jewels, and satin ribbon. Print out party details on pink or lavender card stock, cut with decorative scissors, hole-punch, thread ribbon through, and tie to slipper. Have dad, brother, or a teenager dressed in a prince costume hand-deliver slipper on top of satin pillow (leave only the slipper).

PRINCESS PARTY IDEAS FOR CREATING PRINCESS WAND INVITATIONS - Use 12" long, 1/4" wooden dowel. Paint Styrofoam star pink. Spray with tacky glue and sprinkle with pink glitter. Tie eight 24" pieces of pink and white curling ribbon to end of dowel and secure with glue. After star dries, push onto dowel over ribbon knot, and glue in place. Curl ribbons. Print out party details on pink or lavender card stock, cut with decorative scissors, hole-punch, thread ribbon through, and tie to wand. Hand-deliver wands.

PRETTY PINK PRINCESS PARTY IDEAS FOR INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2"x 11" shiny pink card stock into 4 pieces.

Glue to pink card stock. Create bow using 12" of pink tulle ribbon. Glue bow to top center of invitation, or punch 2 holes at top and thread ribbon through holes and tie into bow. Decorate bottom corner(s) with princess stickers and embellish edges with glitter.

PRINCESS PARTY IDEAS TO CREATE PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" shiny pink card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors, trim edges of photo of your daughter in princess attire, so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue photo to front of invitation.

PRINCESS PARTY IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS

The dominant royal colors for your princess party should be pink, purple, lavender, blue, cream, white, gold, and silver to set the tone and help create your castle atmosphere. Select from the following princess party ideas and adapt your color selection accordingly:

  • Create a red carpet leading up to your doorway. Use a carpet remnant or create the "red carpet" from red felt, red poster board, or red plastic tablecloths.

  • Set up a special Castle Gate for all your little princesses to walk through in order to enter the enchanted kingdom. This also makes for a great photo-op.

  • Either create your castle at the front door area or on a wall for a photo-op location. Make castle frame from foam-backed poster board or cardboard. Measure width of door frame so you know how wide to make it. Create 2 castle towers with a jagged edge. Join them together with a piece of straight cardboard and hang a sign in this area that says, "Welcome to "Name's) Castle." Paint castle in shades of gray and use black for the windows.

  • To create a wonderful princess party room and a fun and fabulous photo-op, add a Princess Castle Wall Mural to your party room wall. After the party is over, then transfer the mural to one of your child's bedroom walls.

  • Either create your castle at front door area or on a wall for a photo-op location. Make castle frame from foam-backed poster board or cardboard. Measure width of door frame so you know how wide to make it. Create 2 castle towers with a jagged edge. Join them together with a piece of straight cardboard and hang a sign in this area that says, "Welcome to "Name's) Castle." Paint castle in shades of gray and use black for the windows.

  • Decorate ceilings with pink and white twisted streamers and clusters of balloons with curling ribbons.

  • Create "canopy" at entryway by loosely attaching pink and white streamers to center of ceiling and loop it to wall joint to create canopy effect. Allow each streamer to go to floor.

  • Create a balloon arch. If you have a wire arch cover it in pink balloons. If not, create your arch from cut-up wire hangers.

  • Decorate archways or doorways with pink and white streamers for princesses to pass through.

  • Decorate wider walkways with pink sheets tied back with tulle bows.

  • Hang glittery stars from curling ribbons on the party room ceiling.

  • Cover tables with white tablecloths and pink toppers, or white and pink sheets. Tie corners with pink and white ribbons and scatter pink, glittery confetti, gold stars, sequins, and jewels on top.

  • Place white paper doilies, princess plates, napkins, pink plastic cutlery, and plastic champagne or wine goblets with pink bows tied on stems and glue jewels to bottom of glasses to create royal goblets at each place setting. Tie napkins with pink satin ribbon.

  • Hang sheets of white Christmas lights on walls with lightweight, see-thru, light pink fabric over lights.

  • Hang white twinkle lights around door entrance.

  • You can also hang jeweled or Metallic Foil Curtains at the doorways for your little princesses to walk through.

  • Cover the living room ceiling by hanging pink sheets, pink fabric, pink plastic tablecloths, or sheer pink fabric to create the ballroom. Then allow several pink and white helium balloons to float to the ceiling.

  • Hang princess posters on your walls or use these adorable Princess Wall Decor that can later be transferred to decorate your child's bedroom walls.

  • Transform dining room chairs into princess thrones by taping gold and silver poster board around the backs and decorate with jewels, glitter, sequins, tulle, etc. Add pink pillows to sit on or use pink glittery fabrics to cover chairs. Make the birthday princess' chair extra tall and extra special with more elaborate decorations.

  • Put vases of pink and white flowers around room.

  • Put pink and white balloons outside to alert guests of party location. Put them on mailbox, hang from tree, or tie to car antenna.

  • Tie pink tulle bows around all chairs.

  • Make a pink tulle tutu for punch bowl. Cut tulle 6" x 24". Gather one side using an upholstery needle and pink string. Tie off and shape around bottom of punch bowl as a centerpiece.

  • Make sign that says, "Welcome to ____'s Princess Castle" and hang on front door.

  • Have bubble machine at front door so guests go through sea of bubbles as they enter.

PRINCESS PARTY IDEAS FOR GAMES AND ACTIVITIES

Select from the following princess party ideas for games and activities to keep your little princesses busy:

PRINCESS ACTIVITY - Keep your royal guests busy as they arrive with this lovely Princess Castle which they may color and decorate.

PRINCESS PARADE - After all the little princesses arrive and adorned accordingly, parade them around the yard, posing and waving to the crowd. Take pictures and provide copies with thank you's.

ROYAL BALL FREEZE DANCE - This game is played like "Freeze." Music plays and everyone dances. Music stops and everyone freezes.

PIN THE CROWN ON THE PRINCE - This game is played like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" except you use a poster of a prince. Make enough yellow crowns out of construction paper as there are players. Blindfold each princess, spin them around, and have them try to place the crown on the prince's head. Use double-stick tape. Crown closest to sitting level on head wins. Variation: Pin the Kiss on the Frog.

PASS THE ROYAL SLIPPER - Take an old high heel and create a royal slipper. Spray paint it silver or gold. Add glitter, sequins, jewels, etc. Have girls sit in a circle, play music, and have them pass the slipper to the princess on their right. When the music stops, whoever is holding the slipper is out. Play continues until 1 princess remains who is the winner.

Alternative: Play game as above except whoever is left holding the slipper when the music stops receives a prize and the play continues until all of the princesses have received a prize.

PASS THE TIARA - This game is played like "Hot Potato." Have girls sit in a circle, play music, and have them pass the tiara to the princess on their right. When the music stops, whoever is holding the tiara sits in the middle of the circle. Play continues until 1 princess remains outside of the center, who is then the winner.

MUSICAL CROWNS - This game is played like musical chairs except you place 1 court jester hat and enough crowns for all the girls in a line on the floor. As the music plays, the girls walk around the crowns. When the music stops, they scramble to put a crown on their head. The one who ends up with the court jester hat is out for the next round. Remove 1 crown and the play continues until only 1 princess remains.

PRINCESS DRESS-UP RELAY Divide the girls into 2 teams and line them up on one side of the room. At the opposite side have a princess dress, wand, slippers, and tiara for each team. When you say "go," the first girl in each line races to the other side and puts on all their clothes, runs back to their teammates, tags the next girl in their line, runs back to the other side, removes the clothes, and runs back to their teammates and tags the next teammate in their line. That girl does the same and play continues until 1 team completes the relay.

DIG FOR JEWELS & MAKE A TREASURE CHEST - Fill baby pool with "treasures" that consist of self-adhesive jewels, pom-poms, stickers, lace, ribbons, and strands of sequins all wrapped up in decorative pink wrapping paper. Then cover the "treasures" with some pink shred and small, blown up pink balloons. Have girls all dig for their treasure and when found they report to the queen's court where you have a craft table set-up with empty baby wipe boxes spray painted gold, silver, or bronze. Each child will decorate their box with their "treasure" supplies.

PRINCESS BALLOON RELAY - Divide girls into teams and line them up. Give the first girl of each team a balloon and when you say "Go," they must kick balloon across room. When they arrive, they must do 1 princess wave, 1 curtsy, and kick the balloon back to the next princess on their team who repeats the process to the next princess in line. Whichever teams gets through all of their teammates first wins.

PRINCESS STEPPING STAR RELAY RACE - Divide princesses into teams and line them up. Give first princess of each team 2 "stepping stars". They start by standing on both stars. When you say, "Go!" they lift 1 foot and move 1 star forward and step on it. Then they lift back foot and pick-up star, move it forwar,and step on it. They repeat this process until they arrive at finish line and they pick-up their stars, and run back to their next teammate, give the princess the stars who then repeats the process. Whichever team gets through all of their princesses first wins.

DISNEY PRINCESS PINATA - A party's not a party without a fun pinata. Here's several Princess-Themed Pinatas to select from. If you didn't see quite what you're looking for, here's another option for a Princess Pinata. Once the selection is made, all you will have to do is blindfold your little princesses using a pink sash. Wrap a bat with pink and white streamers and tie curling ribbons at the bottom of bat.
