DISNEY PRINCESS PARTY TIPS

Invitations

• For home-made invitations, use pink card or paper cut into a Tiara or Glass Slipper shape.
• If hand delivery is possible, roll the paper invites into a scroll and tie with thin Pastel Pink balloon ribbon.
• Write the following sample text,
  "You are invited to the Royal celebration of Princess ______, on the occasion of her 5^th Birthday."
• Adding a sprinkle of glitter into the card or envelope adds an extra sparkle. Seal the envelope or scroll with a Disney Princess Sticker.
• Alternatively, if time is short, you may prefer preprinted Disney Princess Party Invites.

Food and Preparation

• Include the birthday child in preparations as often as possible. Let her stuff the Disney Princess Party Bags, make suggestions for games, help with the decorations, set the table, and mail the invitations - even if that only means putting them in the mailbox or handing around the classroom.
• Tie your Hot Pink plastic cutlery together using ribbon, and for slightly older Princess's, scatter the table with Heart shaped or Disney Princess Table Confetti.
• You've enough to do on the day so why not prepare the food in advance and serve in handy colour co-coordinated Food Boxes to match your theme. Disney Princess Stickers can be used to decorate your food boxes, get the party girl involved this is a job she'll love to do. If it's hot food you want and on the quick, you can take your pre-prepared Princess Coach food boxes to a local Fish n' Chip shop and have them deliver your order.
• Alternatively, serve a Royal feast on Pink, Lilac and Disney Princess Party Plates. Don't forget to provide Disney Princess napkins - even little Princess's get chocolate covered chops!
• Theme your sandwich's by shaping them into hearts, stars and diamonds. A shaped pastry cutter should speed things along.
• Decorate cakes and biscuits using icing sugar. Top with hundreds and thousands or shiny metallic balls from the cake decorating aisle at your local supermarket.
• Make your own Pink party champagne punch using Pink Lemonade and ‘precious stones' (coloured ice cubes made with a drop of food colouring). Serve in a glass bowl in the centre of the table and ladel into Princess Goblets.
• And finally for each Princess, here is a recipe to make Shiny Magic Wands which you can make the day before the party.

Step 1: Take one bread stick (per Princess) and coat with a thin layer of icing sugar leaving one inch free at one end. (a thin/medium mix of icing sugar and water should do it!)

Step 2: Cover the bread stick with hundreds and thousands holding the free end

Step 3: Refrigerate on a grease proof tray until set

Step 4: Carefully dip the remaining one inch of the bread stick into a new batch of slightly thicker icing sugar and dip into a pot of cake decorating shiny silver ball-balls.

Step 5: Refrigerate on a grease proof tray until set - Voila!

Décor

• Decorating your party is fun if you involve the birthday girl. To set the mood, use soft coloured light bulbs, pink, silver and purple balloons, a Disney Princess letter banner or Flag Banner and for the extra creative host...use pink ribbon and a soft pillow to transform a seat at the party table into a throne for the birthday Princess.
• Use Disney Princess Party Tablecovers, Napkins, Balloons and other decorative items such as Cinderella Party Streamers in the Pink and Purple colours of the theme. You can also look for Disney Princesss themed Plates, and balloons that carry images of the Disney Princess characters on them. For a magical touch, decorate the room with a string of white fairy Christmas lights.
• Balloons can be used both indoors and outdoors and when tied together in bunches look really great. Pink, Silver and Purple paper chain decorations also look great and are simple and cheap to make.
• For a memorable party experience, create a spectacular backdrop by decorating your room with Scene Setter add-ons and Room Rolls.

Things to do

• Birthday Polaroids - If you have a Polaroid camera take a snapshot of the Birthday Girl with each of the party Princess's and add to each relevant Party Loot Bag. If you are using a Scene Setter for your party you can take the image against the backdrop. If you don't have access to a Polaroid camera you can use a digital camera and print copies on the day or e-mail the images after the party as a memento.
• Princess's Jewels - Let your Party Princess's make their own necklaces or bracelets with string and plastic beads. This is a simple idea but provides great enjoyment.
• Clay Modelling - Make a batch of dough using a simple mix of flour and water. Provide each Princess with a ball of dough. Present them with a tray of glitters in a variety of colours. Get you Princess's to work the glitter into the dough. Pop each of the girls dough into a small zip-lock bag to taken home in their Disney Princess Party Bags.
• Face Painting - Announce the guests upon arrival and escort them to a face painting preparation table. Use Gold, Silver, Purple, Red and Pink Face Paints. We suggest small images of stars, hearts, diamonds, flowers and butterflies which are quick and easy to paint. Finish your creation with Face Paint Glitter. For boys choose Skull & Crossbones to turn them into Pirates. Alternatively you can use Face Painting as a party activity by letting the Children paint each others faces. It can get a bit messy but for a child's party it is an excellent activity and great fun.

DISNEY PRINCESS PARTY GAMES

To keep a party going, it’s always advisable to have a numerous supply of activities planned as the playing time of each game often far exceeds the time spent in planning them.

Keep the children busy - here are 10 of our favourites….

1. Princess and the Pea 

Start this game by telling the Hans Christian Andersen story "The Princess and the Pea." Here it is if you haven't heard it for a while:

"Once upon a time there was a Prince who wanted to marry a Princess; but she would have to be a real Princess. He traveled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were Princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real Princess. One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was a Princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the heels of her shoes and out again at the toes. And yet she said that she was a real Princess. Well, we'll soon find that out, thought the old Queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses. On this the Princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept. "Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!" Now they knew that she was a real Princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds. Nobody but a real Princess could be as sensitive as that. So the Prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real Princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it. There, that is a true story."

Now invite the Princess's to see how they'd fare in this Princess-detecting test. Everyone takes a turn sitting on four pillows arranged in a row on the floor and trying to guess which one "the pea" (a small ball) is under. Move the ball after each turn while the current player is out of the room. I the Princess's are up for a greater challenge, try a second round using a marble instead of a ball.

2. Who am I?

Before the party, place stickers of Disney Princesses on several 3x5 inch cards - one Princess per card. To play, tape the cards onto the girl's backs, so that they cannot see their own Princess. The object of the game is to identify which princess is on your back, by asking yes/no questions of the other players.
Example: Does my princess have brown hair? Is my princess wearing a blue dress?

Alternatively consider using famous faces such as boy band members cut from magazines.

3. Princess Dance Freeze

This game is based on Musical Bumps. Inform the girls that Sleeping Beauty's evil step mother is threatening to FREEZE the entire Kingdom!!! When the music starts, they begin dancing...until the "Evil Step Mother" (adult) stops the music. At which point, they all freeze. The last one to freeze is out of the game and receives a small prize. Repeat until the adults have received adequate party refreshments!!

4. Torchlight Tag (Older Kids)

To play you'll need a very strong torch. Play this game in a dark house at night or in a safe place outdoors when it’s dark. A park is an ideal game location. Find a place to be base. Choose one player to be “IT”. The person who is “IT” waits at the base and counts while the other players hide. Hiders move around during the game. “IT” searches for the hidden players with the torch. Meanwhile, players try to run to the base without getting caught. Players are tagged if “IT” spots them with the torch and calls out a player’s name. Each tagged player is sent to the base to wait until the very last player is caught. The last person tagged is “IT” for the next game and wins a prize. Set a time limit for the game, if no one is tagged during that time frame, switch the person who is “IT”.
Variation: You can play a simpler version with young children by having the children "catch" the light while you shine it around a backyard or party room.

5. Four Corners of the Castle

Four corners is a party game that can be played both indoors or outdoors although if you are playing outdoors you may need to be a little flexible as to what constitutes a corner. The more people you have for this game the better (more than ten, preferably). Find a room with four corners, and either number them one to four, or label them Jasmine, Belle, Cinderella and Snow White. Everyone has to know what corner is what number/label. Pick one child to be "it", blindfold them, and then get everyone else to run to a corner. The child who is "it" calls out a number from one to four or name of a corner. The people in that corner are all out. Everyone then runs to another corner, or stays in the same one. The game goes on until there is only one person left. The more running around the better!

6. Lily Pad Race

Cross the moat to the castle with this fun relay game. In advance, cut four large Lilly Pads from green card or thick paper. Each Lilly Pad should be approximately 12-15" in diameter. Divide your guests into two teams and give the first Princess on each team two Lilly Pads. These Lilly Pads will be the only thing players can step on as they travel across the moat, around a chair and back to their team. To begin, the first player places one Lilly Pad on the ground, steps on it, and places the next Lilly Pad down in front of her. She then steps from the first to the second Lilly Pad, and so on, until she has returned to her team. The next player continues in the same fashion until each player on the team has crossed the moat. This relay game will keep each team rolling in laughter!

7. Disney Princess Mix Up 

Help the Princess get a message to the King and Queen. Seat your guests in a circle. The birthday child thinks of the message that she would like to send to the king or queen (parents work great for this role) and whispers it to the person next to her. The person receiving the message tells the next in the circle and so on until the message reaches the last person in the circle. The king or queen tells the message out loud and then the birthday child tells the original message. Expect the unexpected when you learn the original vs. the final mixed up message. Try again with another player starting the message and continue until your guests are ready for a new activity.

8. Kiss the Frog to marry a Prince 

Since most preschoolers prefer frogs to Princes anyway, we guarantee this amphibian will stay an amphibian no matter how many giggly Princesses plant a kiss on him. You will need:

•   a sheet of large Green card or Paper,

•   a sheet of Red or Pink Paper,

•   a sheet of White Paper,

•   Glue,

•   Scissors,

•   Blue Tack or Sellotape

•   Felt tip Pen.

To set up the game, draw a big frog on green card or paper. It's easier than you think: just make a big oval head with eyes at the top and an hourglass-shaped body with pointy webbed feet at the bottom.

Cut out the frog shape. Then cut out 2 large, white paper eyeballs and glue them in place. Draw on pupils, a mouth, and nostrils. From red or pink paper, cut out a pair of lips for each Princess and apply a small ball of Blue Tack to the back.

During the game, have each child shut her eyes tight, then point her in the right direction to try to pin her smooch on Mr. Frog. Continue taking turns until everyone succeeds. The best kiss planted wins a princely prize.

9. The Princess is missing her favourite things

Place several items on a tray. Try to find items that work with the theme such as a Tiara, Lipstick, Wand, Silver spoon, Jewelry, Handkerchief etc. One player leaves the room. Remove one or two items from the tray. When the player returns they must guess what's missing. Repeat until every child has a turn.

10. Princess Puzzler

Before the party, print out Disney Princesses pictures from the Internet or use a colouring book. Attach each picture onto a large sheet of paper with a glue stick. Cut the pictures into 2, 3, or 4 puzzle pieces. Hide the pieces around the party area. The girls each need to find one puzzle piece and then find the players with the matching piece/s.

 

Don't forget that many traditional games can also be adapted. For example:

• Belle Says - Simon Says
• Cinderella's who has the Slipper - Poor Kitty
• Ariels Pass the Teapot - Pass the Parcel
• Jasmines Pin the Flame on the Dragon - Pin the Tail on the Donkey
• Snow Whites Apple Bobbing

Prizes - If you want to give away some prizes for your Disney Princess party you should be able to find some Disney Princess bubbles, colour books, or Stickers, something that the girls will be able to do while home
