If your daughter is hoping for a princess party this year, do not fret! Princess party themes are some of the easiest themes to throw together, even if you have very little time and a tight budget. If you have money to splurge a little, balloons like the ones above can be purchased and are a good start.
When in doubt, balloons are the ultimate decoration and party favor. A bunch of balloons can be tied together, tied to individual chairs, tied along bannisters, or even just spread throughout the room. And kids love going home with a balloon. Plus, when the kids take the balloons away, it cleans up the party, too.
With a sharpie and a little artistic hope, you can create princess cups from plain (and inexpensive) white cups. Another option is to write "Princess Sally," or whatever the child's name is on the cup. Kids can also decorate the outside of their cups with Sharpies for a quick craft.
These princess napkins and plates were purchased from a party supply store. We then had homemade lunchables and some fruit and veggies. Easy peasy, and healthier than pizza. Which is also totally acceptable party food.
Music can really tie a party together. For the DIY, compile a mix. For the person who is looking for quick and simple, Disney has many CD's available.
This quick craft is an easy way to keep the kids entertained and also give them a good thing to take home. Just buy headbands (you could also do crowns or hats) and then get things such as feathers or fake gems and glue to attach them (you can put some glue in little plastic cups and give everyone a toothpick). Give each kid their own plate for quick and easy cleanup. Just don't forget to write their names on the plates.
Princess games are really easy to come up with. You can either buy pre-made games or make some of your own. Check here for DIY princess games. (Link coming soon)
