Princess Ideas for Her Girls Birthday Party

She’ll Always Be Your Princess!

“Yes, my Lady, your company eagerly awaits you and desires your presence!” Age matters not, because girls love to be treated like princesses. Whether they are gallantly riding horses in open meadows and fields, dancing merrily while hoping to meet prince charming or dining elegantly in serene surroundings, a princess party is the ultimate foundation for dozens of girl’s birthday party ideas.

Planning the Perfect Princess Party

Princesses have their own personalities, preferences and desires. Before anything else can be accomplished, the perfect theme, one that will please her grace beyond measure, should be determined, so that all party decoration supplies coordinate together.

Personalized invitations, menus, table decorations, activities, birthday party games and matching party favors will each add a touch of style and flair to the grand and wonderful celebration. Every detail should be considered including lighting decorations, balloons and even gift wrap supplies.

Decorating for a Princess Party

Begin by layering sheer, shimmering gossamer fabric all over the room, designing special photo corners, tying bows around chairs, covering unsightly areas and creating a soft and welcoming ambience for your majesty.

Determine the menu and how to present your offerings. Buffet style banquets are excellent for more casual and social events, while barbecues work well for outside gatherings. Princess parties needn’t always be formal. However, the elegance of hosting a sit-down meal should be happily considered as well. Consider the classic girl’s tea party, for example.

Use garland, balloons and ribbon freely, hanging it from light fixtures, draping it over curtains and swaying it in archways and doorways. Separate party events like eating, dancing and games, allowing guests the courtesy of enjoying whatever they are doing, at any given time.

Hosting the Ultimate Girl’s Birthday Party

It’s the little things that make all the difference, when planning a girl’s birthday party. Choosing the right colors, selecting her favorite foods, presenting the “to die for” cake and playing the perfect music all contribute to the overall success of hosting a girl’s birthday party every princess will love. Girls have a way of lighting up the room when they look and feel like princesses, which is why every girl deserves to be treated like royalty on her birthday.

Decorate Your Winter Wedding Like a Pro

Traditional or trendy, you can decorate your winter wedding like a pro with the right color scheme, attention to design, and key wedding party supplies and products.

Give White a Green Light
White can help you incorporate a holiday, season or special wedding theme. Though it is a tradition to use white at weddings, the right accent color can give you a twist on that tradition with a modern, chic look.

Lots and lots of white will look ethereal, dreamy. Use a bit of pastel blue or lavender, or a metallic, as an accent to keep the effect of floating on a cloud for a fairytale theme such as Castle in the Sky or wintry Ice Castle. You can also use your non-white accents to highlight focal points at your wedding or reception.

Alternatively you can pair white with stronger colors as contrast, a visual surprise. We like a cranberry and a citrus green as a modern salute to the holiday season, or to use white along with the still-trendy brown-and-blue winter scheme.

Vary a very white look by introducing contrasting sizes, shapes and textures in decorations, and consider a symbol or emblem of your winter wedding, such as a snowflake or seasonal flower.

Achieve a Professional Look with Fabulous Fabrics
Start by utilizing the room-softening properties of decorating fabrics by draping and covering large areas such as walls, ceilings and tables. We especially like gossamer for its value, its perkiness in bows, and its overall versatility and for this purpose suggest a peek at a snowflake gossamer. Shimmera, taffeta and chiffon will give you iridescence, shine or glitter. Whatever your choice, decorating fabrics will lend elegance to the venue.

Wind fabrics around balusters, arches, canopies and other large decorating pieces. Cut them into table runners and create expensive-looking centerpiece arrangements by first wrapping ordinary glass canning jars (or other cheap but sturdy containers) in pouches made of a posh fabric.

Bring it Home with a Nod to Mother Nature
Remember the contrasting shapes and textures we mentioned above? There’s no better way to introduce them into your elegant wedding party decorations than with organic and outdoor forms.

For large decorations with height, select trees and boughs. Christmas trees, willow branches bundled snugly with strong raffia or twine, or one of our own 7-foot LED lit winter tree decorations create instant focal points, especially when used in groupings or rows.

Decorate canopies with lots of natural twig garland, and use seasonal fruits and flowers (cranberries, amaryllis, paper whites) on tables. Shimmering twine LED lanterns intriguingly combine the rustic with the ultra modern; hang them over tables or use them in centerpieces with a sprig of holly or other greenery and a handful of pine cones.

Decorate a Fairytale Castle Party for Grownups

A castle or fairytale theme is often a top choice of young princesses, but there are plenty of ways for persons of any age to enjoy this theme. Here are three ideas for fairytale castle-themed events for grownups.

Romantic Medieval World. A medieval castle theme such as Night in Camelot is a classic prom theme and a good choice for an indoor evening fundraising event. Start with a blue-and-white twinkle star patterned poly vinyl on the upper 2/3 of the walls, and a flagstone corrugated paper on the bottom 1/3 to look like an evening upon the battlements of a castle. Cover floors with a cobblestone flat paper. Place the arch and castle from the Knights of Camelot decorating kit centrally and near the entrance of the party venue so that attendees can choose to cross the drawbridge to get into the main party room, but far enough back from the entrance that it can serve as a photo setting later. Use additional walls and columns from this kit to divide party room spaces; for example, to create a “nook” in one corner for silent auction tables.

Dreams Coming True. Soaring staircases, lighted blue gossamer windows and an entrance that looks like a royal carriage make the Fairytale decorating kit a show-stopper for a wedding or Valentine’s Day event. Place the castle and staircases in a corner near the entrance of a smaller event space, or right in the middle of a large room.

Cover tables in light blue table covers and white skirting. Use white chair covers. Set tables with white and gold tableware, gold stunning centerpieces and gold heart confetti.

Ice Castle Drama. Use an Ice Castle theme for any holiday or winter party, including New Year’s. Start with our Ice Castle kit, or play up lavender hues against blue and white with a castle silhouette against a wall of lavender shimmera and castle-tower columns from the Once Upon a Dream decorating kit. Add white fir trees, aisle runners of lavender flat paper and our exclusive giant free-standing snowflakes to complete the winter castle dreamland.
