When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with princesses and everything that went along with it. The castle, the outfits, the tiaras and yes, the handsome prince. After a quick look around, it seems as though little girls today still have the same fascination, so I thought it appropriate to create a day of wonderful make believe: a princess party.
The party must start with an official decree to celebrate your little princess's day. Wording on the invitation could begin something like: "Hear ye, hear ye! By royal decree, you are invited to Princess Chloe's 5th birthday party..." The invitation wording should end by encouraging guests to come dressed in princess attire. This sweet photo birthday invitation by www.urbanitystudios.com could be a great way to invite guests.
Once the guests arrive, their first order of business in the royal court could be to make their very own tiaras. Oriental trading sells kits that come complete with tiaras, jewels as well as wands and ribbon to complete the ensemble. After the guests have created their accessories for the party, its time to get busy. One game could be to "pin the jewel on the crown," as seen below.
This game is simple and with some poster board or butcher paper, you can easily create your crown and jewels. Learn more at CountryLiving.com.
Another very fun game could be magical thrones (just like musical chairs) or duck, duck, princess (variation on duck, duck goose).
After cake and ice cream, have the guests settle down to a classic princess movie like Cinderella.
When it is ready for everyone to head home, send them on their way with a favor. The favor could be as simple as a crown cookie with their name on it in frosting
or an assortment of candy jewelery including a ring pop, a candy necklace and candy bracelet.
Hosting a princess party yourself? I would love to hear your ideas. Until next time, happy make believing.
Show the world your art!> 
Every little girl loves being a princess and you have some wonderful ideas for making them feel like royalty on their special day!
