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.
