Ages: 3 to 10

Decoration Ideas

Decorate with lots of streamers, pictures of your child’s favorite princesses and balloons. Put out princess related toys like figurines, wands, crowns, etc. Put flowers and glitter on tables in the party area. If you want to add more decorations use a box to make a “castle”. You can paint it and add smaller boxes as towers. This makes a great place to take pictures of the party guests.

Craft Ideas

If you have an older group of kids attending the party, provide them with the items needed to make their own beaded necklaces and bracelets.

If the group is younger, provide them with blank paper crowns, glitter, markers and glue so that they can decorate them.

Game Ideas

Get out dress up items, and let the party goers dress up. Check dollar and discount stores for clip in hair bows, clip on earrings, feather boas, necklaces and other fun items. If you have a large group you may want to divide them into two groups and have one group watch a princess movie while the other group gets dressed up, then switch.

Modify favorite party games to reflect the princess theme. You could have a piñata that is a dragon and they need to slay the dragon. Play pin the crown on the princess, musical chairs (and play music from princess movies), or play charades where all the items are from favorite princess movies.

Another fun game is the wishing well game. Make a box look like a wishing well. Then have the children line up at a certain distance from it and try to get their pennies in the well.

Food Ideas

A sheet cake can easily be made to look like a castle by putting a cupcake at each corner. Frost the cake, then put waffle cones upside down on each cupcake to make towers. Decorate the rest of the cake with a door, windows and flowers. Offer cookies shaped like stars and crowns. Have fruit kabobs and punch.
