Birthday Princess Themes
- Growing up, many children learn all about princesses from classic Disney films. Plan a birthday party around your little girl's favorite princess. Each Disney princess features her own distinctive color scheme (for instance, Cinderella wears pale blue and silver), so decorate your party with matching colors. It's usually easy to find Disney princess-themed plates, napkins, balloons and streamers in your local party supply store. A screening of the movie provides stress-free entertainment for a group of energetic little princesses.

If your little girl wants an especially enchanting birthday celebration, try a fairy princess theme. These parties usually work well in warm weather, when you can hold a magical tea party or picnic outdoors. You can, however, create a fairytale atmosphere indoors with tulle draping and strings of small, twinkling lights. Distribute princess tiaras, fairy wings and wands to all the guests, and arrange a treasure hunt with take-home jewelry and trinket prizes. - For a little girl who enjoys history lessons and fairytales equally, try a princess birthday party that reflects the medieval era with castles, knights and royal clothing. Send scrolls tied with ribbons as royal party invitations. Build a cardboard castle in the house or the backyard, or let the guests decorate and assemble the castle as part of the entertainment. This party works well for co-ed parties; provide knight tunics and princess crowns for the guests.

Especially if your little girl does not consider herself a "kid" anymore, she might prefer a glamorous princess party, with a focus on the fun and luxury of modern day fairytales. Pink feather boas, oversized sunglasses and princess tiaras are ideal accessories for all the guests. For party favors, try gift bags filled with age-appropriate jewelry, trinkets, nail polish and stickers, all featuring a glamorous princess theme. Karaoke or jewelry-making activities can provide some glamorous entertainment for the birthday girl and her guests.
