Princess Tea Party Ideas

Every little princess would like to enjoy some time with her other princess friends from neighboring kingdoms. To give your little one this beautiful experience on her birthday, why not host a princess tea party? Little girls simply love dressing up as princesses, and such a party cannot fail to be liked and enjoyed by them. In fact, organizing the whole party can become a fun project for you. You may take the help of the parents of other children you are inviting, and have a blast preparing for the entire party to make your little one feel like a real princess. How do you go about the process? Here are some ideas that you can use to make it grand.

Ideas for a Princess Tea Party

Since a princess tea party is already based upon a set theme, you know the direction in which you have to proceed. In essence, everything should relate to the princess theme, with bright colors, castle like decorations, and similar food. The party should begin somewhere around early afternoon (say 4 P.M.), and end in the evening. A two to three hour duration for the party should suffice. From invitations, to the food, to the favors, here are some ideas you can employ.

Bursts of Color
Though the traditional colors for such a party range from pink, purple, blue, golden, and silver, there really shouldn't be a restriction on the kind of color you want to use for the party. Yes, it should be used in an appropriate combination. You can spill over to colors such as yellow, orange, green, peach, red, and salmon as colors for the party.

Summoning Princesses from Neighboring Kingdoms
Reminiscent of fairy tales, you can have the invitations for the party printed on a scroll on colored paper (based on the color combination you have decided). Tie the scroll with a ribbon and send it across to all your little one's friends. Use wording that is similar to old English to make the invitation authentic. Apart from scrolls, the invitations could also be printed on magic wands, on tiaras or crowns, or on silhouettes of a princess figure. Ask everyone to dress like a little princess of their choice. This could be Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, or Sleeping Beauty.

Enjoying in the Princess' Castle
Let's move on to the decorations. Set a table where you will lay out the food. Cover it with a flowing tablecloth of the color you have decided. Add lace to the cloth, sprinkle some confetti on the table, and have pearls and artificial jewels scattered over the table. Ideal isn't it? Set up another table where the little girls will enjoy their food. This too could have a similar tablecloth, but you may want to avoid too many decorations on this table, in case it disturbs them while eating. If possible, cover each chair with plain fabric and tie a ribbon around each chair for a princess like feel. You can also place a big star behind each chair with the name of every princess who is attending the party. It is definitely something the little girls will enjoy.

It's all Fun and Games
With their flowing dresses, you may not want to have the little girls running around too much. As such, have them enjoy activities that don't require them to move too much. For instance, you could give them basic tiaras, and have them decorate each one in their own way. This they can take home as a party favor too. You could also have them make fairy wands with Styrofoam, glitter, and other craft materials such as beads and stickers. Following these activities, play some music after you have thrown several balloons on the floor, amid which the little girls can dance and enjoy.

A Tummy Full of Yummy!
Something that all kids will look forward to at the princess tea party is the cake. What better cake than a princess itself? Have a cake that is the grand dress of a princess, with the figure of the princess in between. Keep it to the colors of the party you have decided. This is the best cake idea for a princess party as it will be loved by all the little princesses there. Since the little girls may not enjoy tea, serve other drinks in fancy teacups with gold or silver lining. Iced tea, ginger ale, or fruity punches are all great choices. Keep foods limited to finger foods, as the little girls will find them easy to eat. Chicken salad sandwiches shaped like stars or glass slippers, or peanut butter and jelly, tuna, cheese, cucumber and tomato sandwiches are all great choices. Don't forget sweets such as frosted cookies in various shapes, and fruits cut in different shapes such as stars. If you can, arrange for a chocolate fountain that little girls can enjoy with cream filled wafers, marshmallow, or small pieces of cake.

Sweet Memories to Take Home
Giving favors will just have the little girls remember what a great time they had at your little one's party. Making a small gift bag with favors such as, artificial stone jewelry, magic wands, the tiaras mentioned above, or even edible favors such as a cookie jar, are all great ideas that you can consider.

It is indeed great fun to organize the perfect princess party and see the little princesses enjoy it all to the last minute. Make it fun, make it memorable, and your little princess will love all that you have done for her. Enjoy!
