Princess Party

One of the moast popular themed parties these days is the princess theme. You might say 'That is too expensive' but I say 'not with my tips it wont be.' Please note all images and videos on this page i do not own!

Invitations

On a piece of paper write:

'Madam, your attendance is requested at the royal ball in honor of (childs name and age)birthday' then add the other details.

Get your child to draw round it with princess associated images including jewels and jewlery, tiara's ect.. then roll up into a scroll and tie with some gift ribbon

Another great alternitive is these invite and partybag sets from poundland. They do a super cute princess set. Each pack includes 15 invites, 15 envilopes and 15 partybags.

Decorations

Any princess party cant go without super cute decorations:

 This 10pk of balloons form tesco is only £1 and includes pink and purple balloons

 Or this 25pk of metalic balloons is great at only £2 also form Tesco, you can either choose one or both.
Get girly coloured card and cut out stars, hearts and flower shapes to stick to the walls.

Grab a feather boa (you can get one from poundland, charity shops, car boot sales ect..) and stick it over the top of the back of a chair. Then get a fluffy pink cushion. You can probably get one second hand. Attatch it to the seat of the chair and you have a royal throne for your little birthday princess.

Royal banquet
'no royal celebration can go without a royal feast'

Partybags
For this I suggest using the partybag and invite pack at the top
also:

Everyone loves flumps: these are only 9p in asda you will need 1 for each kid

Next keep a spare balloon for each kid (deflaited)

Next in wilkinsons you can pick up this awesome glammour set including 8 butterfly hairclips, 24 bangles, 8 hairbrushes, 8 bobbly bangles, 8 rings and 8 necklaces for only £3.35. The only downside to this is the bobbly bangles. I bought a set for last years party and they where realy weak and snapped. But the rest is all good. With the beeded bangles you can break them up into little balls and use them as gem decorations. But do not do this if your kids are young and dont understand that not everything is edible...

finaly bung it into a party bag and you have a giftbag fit for a princess.

Games, activities and entertainment:

As the princesses arive give them a tiara, you can get a pack of comb tiaras: 4 for £1.50 on 3 for 2 at Tesco
