The Party Princess
Games for the Nobility
For your youngest princesses a game of musical crowns will be very fun. The only supplies necessary are identical princess crowns and a hat, like a court jester or a baseball cap. The rules for this game are just like musical chairs, except you are using crowns and a hat instead of chairs. The princess who gets the hat is out.
Another fun game is a relay race getting ready for the ball. Split the princesses into two groups. Each group races to get ready by putting on dresses, jewelry, and for older girls, makeup. The first group to have all team members properly adorned wins!
Refreshments Fit for a Queen
The princess cake is a must for a princess party. Kits to create a princess cake are available online or in craft stores with little cost. If you’d rather do it yourself you can just purchase a plastic doll and bake a cake in an oven safe bowl shaped like a bell or dome to make the skirt. Ice the cake as if it were a gown; place the doll in the top of cake sinking her up to her waist. Your little princess will go wild!
The Royal Robes
Décor is one of best aspects of a princess party. Your little princess and all her friends provide much of it with their dresses. You can either ask each child to come dressed in her royal finery or provide gowns for each child and have them dawn the queenly raiment upon arrival.
Younger princesses all have a cartoon princess of choice. Decorate your party with her image. You could provide coloring pages for each guest to decorate with crayons, stickers, or glitter, then hang the art work up for display. Make the refreshment table a banquet table with silken or golden table cloths scattered with flower petals. Include royal crowns or glass slippers in the center piece.
A Party Fit for a Princess
If you really want to go all-out for your princess's birthday party, then look around in your area to see if there are any companies that can throw a princess-themed birthday party for your child. Sometimes, leaving it up to the experts is best!

Your daughter and her friends can enjoy a ride in a limousine, make-up, a crown, a photo booth, and plenty of other fun activities that fit the theme! This is truly a way to make your birthday girl feel as special as can be.
Of course, this sort of route is costly. Make sure you thoroughly look into your options for a company-run party before making a decision.
