Princess Theme Party Puppet Show

Princess Party Puppet Show

Once all of your guests have arrived to your Princess Theme Party, a great idea is to have a puppet show set up in another part of your home for the kids to move to. This idea is great for younger children as it’s all really magical for them. Most cities have puppet show artists that you can hire. Super easy and you don’t have to be in charge of too many activities or games!

The puppet production groups will often have multiple shows that can fit within your party theme. If they don’t advertise one that you think will work for you, feel free to ask them if they could put one together for your particular theme. These folks are often very creative and can come up with a show very easily.

Princess Birthday Party Activity

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:34:44 +0000

Shield Art Project

A great first activity when kids arrive at a birthday party is to have a craft project to work on. This keeps the kids busy while others arrive and gives you something to direct them to immediately.

The boys decorated cardboard shields purchased already cut and glued a handle on to the back. Then the girls project was to decorate their own party crown. Again, the hats/crowns were purchase and then the kids glued on adornments and colored on them. Both a nice compliment to the want and swords that were given as favors.

Princess Tea Party Idea

Princess Tea Party Idea

There is no better time to pull out that silver service set that you have in the closet or displayed in your dining room than for a Princess Tea Party. Using your tea set at the party may be the only thing I recommend pulling out. It’s not breakable and only moms will be handling it. Yet, you get to set it out and your little Princess feels really special being able to use it.

Don’t have one yourself? Borrow your mother’s or your neighbor’s. Most likely they don’t use their set very much either and would be thrilled for it to get some use. Have a fun tea party!

Decorating the Table for a Princess Party

Princess Party Table Set Up

Decorating the table for a Princess Tea Party can be super fun. And the table can be quite elegant without being breakable!

First off this mom rented tables and chairs that were just the right height for the kids. Everything is more fun for them when the don’t have to struggle to eat or see things. Simple lilies were placed in the center of each table and they smelled sooooo good. Plates and “silverware” were purchased to look like china plates and were pre-placed around the table. Add some lovely napkins and your platters of food and possibly the cake or dessert and your table is all decorated with very little effort!

Resources: The cake was purchased at Bakery Bar in Portland, OR. China looking plates were purchased at Costco. Beautiful napkins can be purchased at many higher end groceries and gift/card shops.

Princess Party Cake

Princess Party Fondant Cake

Oh My!!! This might have been the most beautiful Princess Party Cake I’ve ever seen. Nothing makes a party more special for a birthday girl than to have a fabulous cake. And this is that cake!

These folks are truly artists with fondant. I have been to another party where they make the cake ans it was equally as beautiful. Just amazing. They are in Portland, OR. Not sure if they will ship the cakes or not. But even for your own idea, this was a beautiful Princess Party Fondant Cake and it also tasted great……which is always a plus……

Princess Party Boy Sword Favor

Princess Party Boy Sword Favors

Boys can have fun at a Princess Party too! Just have a few things for them to play with that are boy related and they are good to go. When they are young they really don’t care that the decorations are pink!

These inflatable swords are a perfect gift for the boys as they love to exert that testosterone! These were blow up swords that were given as favors and are super easy to blow up. They don’t blow the budget, they are sizable and you will get lots of play out of them.

Resources: These swords were purchased from Oriental Trading.

Princess Party Girl Wand Favors

Princess Party Girl Favors

All girls love wands that they can waive in the air to change their frog into a Prince. Or just bonk others on the head……hopefully not…..but you never know.

Anyway, having these simple wands as favors are perfect. You can certainly purchase wands like these or you can make them as well. Simply cut out two stars and hot glue them together with a dowel in the center. You might spray paint the dowels black first. After they are all glued together, you can glitter your wands.

These princess party favors have each child’s name typed out on a flag in an old english font and taped on to the handle to insure all the kids at the party receive a favor.

Princess Party Food

Princess Party Food

As you all know, kids with full tummies are happy kids. Or at least it is one of the elements to keeping them happy. So, the most important thing is to feed them things that they will and want to eat!

Mask any sandwich in an interesting design and kids will eat them. For a Princess Party, cut your sandwiches in a crown design. These were cut with a cookie cutter in the shape of a crown. There were two choices: a cheese sandwich and then a peanut butter sandwich.

In addition to the sandwiches, the Princess Hostess served platters of fruit and cut veggies. That always keeps the moms happy. And it’s very easy to cut up and have prepared ahead of time!

Resources: If you put in a google search “Princess Crown Cookie Cutter” you will come up with many results for the cookie cutter that was used here.

Princess Party Castle Invitation & Wording

Princess Party Castle Invitation

Finding just the right Princess Party Invitation can sometimes be challenging. If not because you can’t find the one you like but can’t narrow down the ones you like. I hope the latter is not you because we are about to introduce a great card site. For this Princess party we were invited to, the hostess found Inviting Company and their invitations are too cute. You should take a look at their site.

This was a party for girls and boys so the wording in the invitation reflected such.

“Here Ye! Here Ye!
Calling all Princesses,
Calling all Knights:

Your company is requested at a Royal Birthday Tea!

Olivia’s 4th Birthday
Date
Castle de Reger
RSVP”

Resources: Invitations can be found from Inviting Company.

Princess Design Thank You Cards

Princess Parties are super popular. If you want to get away from the Disney Princess items that are all over the place, take a look at these Princess crown items.

These note cards were used for thank you notes for a Princess Birthday Party. Even if your little loved one, it is very important to write a note thanking guests for gifts especially if you did not open the gifts in front of your guests.

We have also featured a Princess Invitation that coordinates with this Thank You Note.

Resources: Thank you Notes can be found from Paper Rabbit Designs.
