Princess Party Food Ideas

Those were the fairy tale years - full of dolls, chocolates, pretty pink dresses and many more such things! If you have guessed it right, let me tell you that I am talking about the preschool to the grade school age group. Of course, all this is with special reference to girls and moving on, if girls would not have princess party and put on nice dresses, who else will? Are you then, planning for having one for your little princess but are stuck up on the menu? No worries, here is some help.

Food Ideas for a Princess Party

#1
When there is a large group, it is better to KISS. Well, I mean 'keep it short and simple'. One of the few things which pop in our minds when the menu has to be simple and sweet is menu revolving around sandwiches. Be it any party or meals for large group, sandwiches are a hit. Think about something like jelly, jam or peanut butter sandwiches. Cutting the sandwiches in different shapes will make eating more interesting for your princess and the other princesses. If you are looking out for a change, hotdogs are another option you can consider.

#2
Okay, before the kids get to the main course, you need to tantalize their taste buds and build up their appetite. For that, have some olives, crackers, baby carrots and baby corns dipped in a cheese spread or cream cheese. A little bit of paprika and oregano seasoning will be perfect to add to this and similar recipes.

#3
They say that presentation is everything. Having something in the menu which will be first great to see and then eat (of course), therefore becomes important. Fancy food makes a nice impression. A doll-shaped cake or swans made from chocolate cookies, black licorice and vanilla frosting are a good option.

#4
Have something like edible wands made of celery sticks, tipped with yummy cream cheese. Spring onion can also be used for this purpose.

#5
Drinks and beverages are another important aspect of any party. Something sparkling is a must for the little princesses and pink lemonade, grape juice or apple cider can be great for the purpose. It can be any fruit drink as long as it is sparkling.

#6
Avoid thinking about calories and sugar for sometime and go all out on the desserts. Cup cakes or frosted cup cakes, cookies with cream and icing (wow yummy) or even delightful pastries can be a succinct option as a dessert.

We are not done as yet. Here are few things which may help you go about the 'foodie' affairs better.

Few Tips

• Avoid making it too sophisticated and elaborate.
• Let the food 'look' good and attractive.
• Schedule and plan the party beforehand - what and when to serve, which things need to be kept in the fridge, is it going to be enough and so on.
• Another thing which goes without saying is that the food should be in tune with the time of the party!

These pointers will sure help you host a fantastic princess party with the perfect food! You can cook up some more, but here is where I close my shop! Have fun serving and eating!
