Your princess party is going to be amazing because you’ve chosen The Princess Party Co. in Portland to help you put it all together for your little girl! The great thing is that you get to focus on the other elements of the party, because we’ve got the princess visit covered. We want to help, though, so here are some of our best tips for putting together the best and most magical birthday.
Fill Out Your Questionnaire
The questionnaire we send when you reserve your party date is the key to a successful princess party! You can begin filling it out as soon as you’ve figured out the important details, like the address of your party, the date, and the time. You can also fill us in on any extra information you think we should know, like facts about your child. It’s not going to be hard or time consuming, but it will help us considerably while we prepare your princess party.
Design Your Invitations
There are tons of options when it comes to designing invitations for your little girl’s party. The most important thing is, of course, that all of the necessary details are present somewhere in the invitation, like the date, time, place, and RSVP information. Once you’ve got all that covered, you can decorate and design to your heart’s content! Whether you choose fill-in-the-blank invitation cards, personalized Etsy invites, or handmade creations, you can make your invitations as princess-y as your little girl wants! It’s a magical idea to draw inspiration from your princess guest, like by using her signature colors as your palette for text and background colors.
Prepare Your Decorations
Inspiration can come from many places when you’re looking to decorate your party space. Check out social media, blogs, and magazines if you want to do something extra special. You can take notable elements from your princess heroine’s story, like special items or ideas, to create a cohesive and immersive party space. If Tiana is your chosen princess, frog figurines, lilypads, and serene greens and blues are an enchanting combination. If Elsa and Anna are making their grand entrance on your little girl’s big day, paper snowflakes, icicles, and snowmen will bring magic to your party space. You can also stick with the basics like balloons, streamers, and plastic tablecloths in your princess guest’s colors to evoke the theme more simply.
Bake A Cake
The all-important cake is one thing you definitely won’t want to forget! Your little princess deserves a special treat to end her special day. You may want to bake the cake yourself, or maybe you would rather take your ideas to the local bakery. A simple round cake or sheet cake frosted in your princess color palette and decorated with royal extras, like sugar pearls or flowers, is just the thing to satisfy and delight every little knight and lady in attendance. You can also go bigger with an elaborate shaped creation covered in fondant and decorations.
Gather Party Favors
Children love to leave a birthday party with a special gift to remember what a wonderful day they had. Traditionally, these favors are small and inexpensive, but that doesn’t mean they need to be boring. A princess party calls for something like crowns, tiaras, wands, costume jewelry, or dolls. If you’d prefer to keep things classic, go for treat bags stuffed with candy, stickers, temporary tattoos, or activity books and crayons. Have your little girl give each of her friends a personal thank you as they leave!
Remind Your Guests About the Princess
When you have a special guest coming to your celebration, it’s a good idea to have the other parents aware that someone else will around. Even if that guest is the kids’ favorite character, the surprise might be too much to handle for some young ones. We want to help you make sure that your party is a hit, so we think it’s a great idea to let parents know what’s in store for their kids. It will be an exciting, magical day for all!
