Princess Birthday Supplies - Two Ideas to Get You Started
Getting ready to throw a royal bash for your little princess? There are so many options with a princess party it can be a little overwhelming to decide how to scale down a bit.
Maybe royalty doesn't have to cut corners, but in today's society and current economic climate, doing a lot on a little is always a nice way to go.
So where do you get started? Listed below are a two ideas to get you thinking about your options.
Once you have reviewed them, you may find that these suggestions only served to stimulate some creativity in your own mind.
That's good too.
Invitations: You can create and print your own, and even invent your own royal seal.
Get some parchment paper, a calligraphy pen, some wax, or choose a font on your PC that looks "royal" and print it.
Or, a party store will carry ready-made invitations in a variety of styles that will suit almost any need.
There are invitations that match the animated princesses that girls are so fond of, too.
Lots of pinks and purples to go around.
Find out what your daughter prefers, and go from there.
Costumes: For some reason, we girls love to dress up.
No matter the style of the day, we always like feeling feminine and pretty.
Again, if you are looking to cut corners financially, a thrift store or garage sales might be just the place to start looking for costume attire.
You could get an old sheer curtain of any color, and help the girls make their own princess hats by attaching a veil to a piece of card stock shaped into a cone.
Make sure the wide end of the cone will fit on a girls head.
There are also foil crowns and tiaras that can be purchased.
If you opt for less confusion and you want everyone to come in costume, you can supply a special piece of jewelry, such as a ring or necklace, as a party favor.
Party stores are a great place to start looking for specific costumes that you don't have to make, and all the accessories.
Well, the above suggestions are just the tip of the iceberg for a princess party.
Think about how you want the room decorated, what you want to serve, and what activities will suit the age and attention level of the guests.
Unless you are planning a surprise party, involve your princess as much as possible.
She will love being a part of the planning, and she will feel more ownership at her party if she has something to do with pulling it off.
Enjoy!
