How to Throw a Princess Party for Kids

Wondering how to throw a princess party? If your little princess is having a birthday, you'll want the best party in the kingdom! Here is our magical guide to the perfect party:

Invitations

There are so many different options when it comes to princess invitations. You can find invitations that are perfect for any party, whether you're having a rose gold or pretty pink theme! Personalised Invites Here at Dotty about Paper, we have a wide range of personalised princess party stationery. Why not take a look? Featured Product: Kids Birthday Invitations - Princess Pamper Party All of our invitations come with envelopes, and are available with thank you cards to match. DIY For parties on a budget, why not DIY your own invitations? For princess parties there are so many options! You can add sparkle to your invitations with pink glitter and gem stones, and get creative with your shapes.

Tear the paper edges to make the invites look old and authentic, and then tie with string or ribbon to finish.

Decorations

You can set the scene from outside your venue with a classic red (or pink!) carpet to guide guests into your venue. A fashionable balloon archway makes a classy touch, and an amazing photo opportunity.

Matching plates, cups, napkins, banners, and balloons will complete the look!

Princess Games

There are a wide range of princess games and activities that you can organise at your party. Pinata A pink pinata is a lot of fun, and isn't too expensive either. You can buy many different styles, including unicorns! Cinderella's Slipper Hide a princess shoe in the garden and have the party guests search for it! The winner can receive a gift of your choice. Party hats or wands If your child's friends love to get creative, have a crafting session and make princess hats or wands. Featured Image: Made to be a Momma If you are having knights at your party too, they can create their own armour! Musical chairs It's a classic party game that so many little ones love! Rename to 'Musical Towers' to match your princess theme. Dress up For smaller parties, a dress up session can be so much fun. Buy a few different accessories for the children to play with. You could also have them create a dance routine or play whilst dressed up for even more fun! Makeover For older children, a princess makeover will be loved! A touch of makeup, and hair accessories will make them feel like pretty princesses.

Food

Having a princess buffet is easy! Have a range of tasty sandwiches cut into different shapes, including hearts and stars. Featured Product: Food Network A wide range of fruit adds colour to your buffet, and is healthy, too. Featured Image: Catch my Party For a treat, princess cupcakes are ideal. Either opt for easy cupcakes in shades of pink and purple, or get creative and make something a bit more out there. After playing your fun party games, your princesses are sure to be thirsty! Pink lemonade makes the perfect party drink, and is super pretty, too.
