Disney Princess Birthday Party
Disney Princess
Click above for Disney Princess birthday party supplies.
Invitations/Decorations:
- To make your own invitation, you can cut out a shoe shape each from
vellum paper and colored construction paper. Tie them together a pretty
ribbon right above the toe to make a bow on your slipper (vellum on top).
Write the party details using a silver gel pen on the colored construction
paper. Glamorous! Your Disney Princess will feel quite royal.
- Use invitations from the Disney Princessbirthday kit, with a Disney Princess picture
on the front.
- Create a "throne" for your birthday princess using streamers,
balloons, a big pillow, or for a fancier throne cut out a throne shape out
of cardboard and paint. Attach it to a dining chair, and let her hold court.
Games:
- Disney Princess Mix-Up - Help the Princess get a message to the King and Queen. Seat your guests in a
circle. The birthday child thinks of the message that she would like to send to
the king or queen (parents work great for this role) and whispers it to the
person next to her. The person receiving the message tells the next in the
circle and so on until the message reaches the last person in the circle. The
king or queen tells the message out loud and then the birthday child tells the
original message. Expect the unexpected when you learn the original vs. the
final mixed up message. Try again with another player starting the message and
continue until your guests are ready for a new activity.
- Pin the Crown on the Princess - Give each guest a crown with their name
on it, and have them place the crown on the princess' head while blindfolded.
Whoever is closes to crowning the princess, wins the game!
- Lilypad Race -
Cross the moat to the castle with this fun relay game. In advance, cut four
large lilypads from green poster board (or cardboard colored green). Each
lilypad should be approximately 12-15” in diameter. Divide your guests into two
teams and give the first person on each team two lilypads. These lilypads will
be the only thing players can step on as they travel across the moat, around a
chair and back to their team. To begin, the first player places one lilypad on
the ground, steps on it, and places the next lilypad down in front of her. She
then steps from the first to the second lilypad, and so on, until she has
returned to her team. The next player continues in the same fashion until each
player on the team has crossed the moat. This relay game will keep each team
rolling in laughter!
Activities/Crafts:
- Make Disney
Princess finger puppets using this great idea from Family Magazine.
This not only lets your guests be creative, but it makes a wonderful party
favor to take home! After making the Princess puppets, have the girls tell
stories together, either using Disney movies or making up their own.
- Have the guests come dressed as their favorite Disney princess, or provide
fun dress-up clothes as they enter the party (think inexpensive boas, tiaras,
plastic rings, glass slippers).
- You can also let each girl decorate her own Disney Princess tiara. Using
a lightweight cardboard or posterboard in gold, silver, or white, cut out
a tiara shape that has bands in the back and a higher crown in the front.
Provide glitter glue, "gems", cording, and anything else regal,
and let the princesses go wild. Once they're finished and dry, place the
flat tiara around each guests head and find where a nice fit is. Staple
the bands together the back.
- Try a Slipper Piñata as an activity, and fill with
fun little jewelry, princess stickers, and yummy candy (there are ring-shaped
candies, too!)
-
Also, Birthday in a Box has a Crown Kit with all the necessities to make
party tiaras. Kids can create and decorate
their own crowns with gems, sequins, glitter, glue, and regal feather trim. Kit
includes a special feather trim for the birthday child and materials to make 12
adjustable royal crowns.
Food:
- For food, think tea party fare: dainty tea sandwiches, miniture muffins
and tartlets, anything feminine.
