Princess Party Ideas!

Summon the princesses with a custom invitation!

There's nothing like a personalized invitation to get a princess excited about a party! Here's a little inspiration for perfect messages to have printed on your Princess Custom Invitations – which feature a tiara and magic wand. Add a phrase like, "Join Kristen for a Once-Upon-A-Dream Princess Party" or "You are cordially invited to Kristen's Birthday Ball – for princesses only!" Party City will print them out and ship them to you in just five days. Add some Princess Confetti inside each envelope and seal it with a Princess Sticker. Be sure to order an extra invitation for your child's scrapbook!

Add princess-approved VIP passes to fill-in invitations!

Get your guests into a fairy tale birthday mood in these ready-made Princess Invitations – just write in all the information about the party. For a royal touch, add these Princess Tattoos and tell guests to wear them on the back of their hands as a secret pass to get into the party. Don't forget to add Princess Confetti to the envelope for a shimmering surprise and seal it with a Princess Sticker.

Tie a princess favor onto royal hand-delivered invitations!

For hand-delivered notes, punch a hole in the corner of each envelope and use Turquoise Curling Ribbon to tie a ring from the Girl Fun Value Pack onto your Princess Invitations. Make sure to add Princess Confetti and seal the envelope with a Princess Sticker.

Say "Thank you!" like a real princess with custom thank you notes!

Send regal thank you notes to let your guests know how much fun you had with them; it's easy with Princess Custom Thank You Notes. Be sure to order your custom thank you nots along with your invitations. Include a note thanking her friends for the royally good time and then seal each note with a Princess Sticker.

Add a pretty picture to your thank you notes!

Here's an idea for making thank you notes royally special. At the party, take a picture of each guest along with their gift and the birthday girl or posing together in all their party finery. Slip a photo in with each Princess Thank You Note. Having the photos will make it easier to remember who brought each gift and the girls will get a kick out of seeing themselves and their friends dressed like pretty princesses.

Play pinata princess style!

Add enchantment to the traditional pinata party game by choosing a Princess Round Pinata or a Tiara Pinata. Now make it princess-perfect by filling it with treats like Jewel Rings, Frosted Bounce Balls, Lip Gloss, Sparkle Princess Notebook Keychains, Mirror Keychains and Assorted Springs. Fill in around the "jewels" with candy like Ring Pops, Now and Laters or Wonka Mixups Candy. Put the Glitzy Girl Eye Mask on the first player and let her have a go with the Pinata Bat. Give each child a Princess Loot Bag so they can collect the treats!

Test their luck with princess pin-the-tail!

The birthday girl and her friends will have a blast playing this princess-themed version of the beloved Pin the Tail on the Donkey kids' party game. Hang the pink poster from the Princess Party Game on a wall at a convenient height for all guests. Blindfold them as they take turns trying to place the heart sticker in the right spot on the bracelet.

Put a royal spin on musical chairs!

For this classic party game, line up enough chairs back to back for all but one player. Decorate the chairs with Pink Balloons and Purple Balloons. Station an adult by the stereo to start and stop the tunes from the Princess Movie Hits CD. When the music begins, the children walk around the chairs. When it stops, everyone sits; any princess left without a seat is out. Take away one chair each round, and continue until only the winning princess is left!

Set up a Princess Style Station to make a game out of getting glamorous!

Little princesses love to get dressed up and put on glamorous makeup. Why not create a Style Station where the girls can adorn themselves to their hearts' content? Drape the table in a Purple Table Cover and set up a few makeup mirrors so the girls can see what they're doing. Now:

• Set out a Clear Compartment Tray and fill it with girly makeup and jewels like Mini Tiara Combs, Nail Polish, Lip Gloss Rings, Butterfly Body Crystals, Princess Star Sunglasses, Nail Jewels, Roll On Body Glitter, Mirror Keychains and Rainbow Stripe Emery Boards. Let the girls share the Glitter Dust Makeup Kit.
• Tell the girls to put on the glitz, helping each other do their makeup and giving each other manicures and "spa treatments." You can also play makeup artist yourself or ask an older sister, cousin or babysitter to help.
• Be sure to have a Princess Loot Bag for each girl to take her goodies home.

Pass the Crown will get them giggling

Your guests will get a kick out of playing Pass the Crown – a princess-themed version of Hot Potato. The girls take turns putting on the inflatable crown as music from the Princess Movie Hits CD plays. When it stops, the girl wearing the crown is out. Keep playing until just one "crown princess" is left.

Pass out princess prizes after the games

Playing princess games is lots of fun on its own, but the other part of the story is the pretty prizes that come at the end. Reward the winners with a fun prize like a Pearls & Charms Craft Kit so they can make their own jewelry. Other delightful prizes worthy of your princesses include Pink and Lavender Jewelry Sets, a Princess Metal Box for treasures or a mini Hollywood Trophy.

Create a girly Princess favor purse!

Fill each one with pretty toys and trinkets, like Princess Tiaras, Sweet 16 Sparkle Carat Rings, Assorted Mini Springs, Nail Polish, Shoe Pencil Sharpeners, Pink Princess Wands and Sparkle Princess Notebook Keychains.

Give them a cup overflowing with princess favors!
