Party IDEA Page

Princess Party Ideas: 

•  Decorate with White Holiday Lights for Princess theme parties

• Pink and Black party colors are delightful to "Tweens"

• Scatter rose pedals for a decorative effect. Silk ones are found at craft stores in the bridal section.

• Decorate with tulle found at craft stores. Make a stunning arch-way entrance with crepe ribbon paper or tulle, or plastic table cloths ($1 store) tied with bows

• Scatter pink candies or sequins and confetti for table decorating

• Use pink flowers in a small vases scattered around the room and the party table or $1store flower sprays

• Tie bright fabric or tulle to guests' chairs

• Party Favor: Tie pink balloons to each guests' chair ($1store chairs) and allow them to take it home after the party  

• Have a Princess Pancake Party! Invite the entertainer to come the morning after the Slumber party as a nice take-home memory! What better fun than Tinkerbelle waking you up for pancakes!! If your little one is too young for a slumber party, then have a "pretend slumber party" where guests come wearing their PJ's but go home after dark!

• Pancakes in the afternoon or pizza for breakfast is fun too for a Wacky Party idea! 

• Have a Do-Nut birthday cake!

• Use your digital camera/printer to take a photo of each guest and send home in party bag. Individual or group photos of the guests with their birthday friend and princess friend make a nice added touch for thank you notes.

• Invite guests in their princess costumes and have a costume contest with dollar store prizes - the pinkest costume, the silliest costume, the fluffiest costume, the most original costume...and so on.

• Another craft idea: beading necklaces. Pre-party take baggies and put beads and pre-cut string in each bag, or have bowls of beads available with pre-cut string, then when each child arrives give them a baggie and his/her parent can help assemble. Cuts down on frustration if they're pre-packaged

• Set up a Cookie-Decorating Station, or Cupcake station with home-baked treats. Kids can sprinkle, add icing, and decorate as an easy 'starter activity'. Consider having boxes on hand so that their sweet creations can go home as a party favor!

• Using large boxes, or plastic storage containers, or real sand boxes, hide 'jewels' in sand and provide large spoons or sand shovels for kids to ''dig for treasures'. Jewels can be small stones found at craft stores in floral department, or, tiny wrapped candies, or glass marbles! Be sure to create fun signs with your birthday child to post around the yard! 

Fairy Party Ideas for the Enchanted Garden

• 

• Fairy Food can include delightful cupcakes made to look like green-frogs. This can also be a starter activity for guests as they first arrive, have bags ready to wrap up their completed frog masterpieces in to take home as a favor.

• A nice 'starter' activity that's easy and affordable is Bug Art! Find clip art online for lady bugs, dragonflies, lady bugs etc and have kids color, bejewel etc. Set up small tables and as guests arrive you can have them decorate a take-home party favor. Parents will help and this is a nice transition activity while guests are still arriving. Pre-party, decorate butterflies with the birthday child, and hang for decorations using fishing line.

• Inexpensive dollar store finds are delightful Garden Decor....Pink and Purple flower garlands hanging from doorways, transform your event into a Fantasy Garden land...

• Create stations in the backyard with small tables and inexpensive table cloths for nail polish/make-up, cookie decorating, sticker art, pumpkin carving, fairy picture coloring, or Pixie Sparkle Sessions using body glitter and scented sprays

• Water Lilies are fun for decorating ...create water lilies that actually float. Trim a foam cup down to one inch from the base. Cut triangles around the bottom of the cup to make the flower. Glue a yellow pom-pom inside the cup. Paint or color with markers a foam plate green and cut out a lily pad shape. Glue the flower cup to the top of the lily pad. Gently set the water lily in a container of water to watch it float.

• Decorating plain goody bags  and photo frames-craft supply stores have many ready made kits of foam-art, or you can make your own with a hot glue gun and popsicle sticks. Dollar store frames are a great find, spray paint them gold and have markers, glue, glitter, jewels, stickers, and stamps available for decorating fun.    

• Later you can scatter the goody bags (filled while kids are doing another activity) in the backyard, and send them on a hunt to find their prize filled bag

• Remember the $1 store for your party prizes!

Fun Party Activities and Decorating

• Provide a large white piece of paper or poster board and have children add their names and artwork for a personalized birthday banner or giant birthday card.
• Dress-up races or relays (Thrift Shop finds and Grandma's closet can have loads of fun "old" clothes! Toss in a suitcase or large bag and have the girls put the funny clothes on! See how fast can they put on all the clothes in an old suitcase!)
• Hide Gems and pretty stones inside boxes of sand and allow the kids to dig them out on a treasure hunt...clear plastic boxes from your storage or shoe boxes, or baby pools!
•  for A Carnival theme: Make stations for the Circus under the big top! Kids will love helping to make signs for POPCORN stand, SNOW CONE stand and so on...Fill the Baby Pool with water and small ducks for a carnival theme, fishing them out with long sticks tied with string.... mom can get the babysitters and other friends to man the booths!

• A Circus Tent is easy to create with Crepe Paper and Thumb Tacks- stand on the ladder and drape them to the ceiling for a tent effect.

• Gelatin Eating Contest: Make one bowl of Jell-O for each kid (plus have some extra on hand). Line the bowls along the ground. Use butcher paper or plastic tablecloths as a ground covering.  Each kid places their hands on the ground beside their bowl and must keep them there throughout the game. When the command is given to start, all the contestants begin eating their Jell-O - hands-free! The first one to clean their bowl completely wins.

• Balloon Stompers: For this game, all you'll need are rubber bands and balloons. Blow up many balloons and tie a rubber band to each of them. Put a balloon around each players' ankle by stretching the rubber band over their foot (it would be best over their sock so that it won't hurt). Make sure players wear shoes to protect their feet (if you want you can put a balloon on each ankle). Play some music and have everyone stomp around, trying to step on and pop other players' balloons. Whomever has the last balloon left around their ankle is the winner!

• Giggle Box Game: Laughter is contagious. The object of this - one of the funniest kid party games - is to keep a straight face while the other players try to make you laugh. All players form a circle and one player begins by saying, "ha." The next player says, "ha, ha," followed by the next player who says, "ha, ha, ha," and so on around the circle with each player adding another "ha". Each player must pronounce their "ha ha's" as seriously as they can, to avoid laughter as long as possible. Any player who laughs or makes a mistake drops out of the ha-ha circle. However, that player then gets to try and make the remaining players laugh in any way they can (except by touching them or talking). The player who keeps a straight face the longest, wins!

Easy Fun Snack Food:

• Individually wrapped cheese sticks

• Fruit skewers of Apples, Grapes, Pineapple, Strawberries 

• Chocolate covered strawberries are excellent at tea parties

• Mini-Muffins

• Popcorn, Pretzels or Goldfish crackers

• Mini-hot Dogs

• Bowls of candy, or pastel marshmallows on a skewer stick

• Peanut butter jelly sandwiches in fun shapes

• Oven baked Tater Tots or fries

• Mac and Cheese

• Chicken Wings or Chicken Nugget Party Platters

• Pre-bake and decorate fun cookies and insert a kabob wooden stick, then wrap with a ribbon and cellophane for a take home treat. Spider shaped cookies, football shaped cookies, butterfly or flower shaped cookie cutters are easily found.  You can use the treats as a table decoration sitting inside a nice vase. 

More Things to Remember:

• Bug Spray and Sunscreen

• Hand-Sanitizer or Handy-Wipes

• Lighter for the Candles

• Extra Towels for Water Slide or Pool Parties
