Your little girl will be thrilled beyond her wildest dreams when you reveal that a princess is coming over to celebrate her special day. You want to make sure this event is absolutely perfect for her, so you’re probably trying to figure out how to make that happen. Luckily, here at The Princess Party Co. in Sacramento, we have plenty of ideas for you!
COMPLETE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE
Filling out your questionnaire is perhaps the most important piece of the princess party planning puzzle! As soon as you reserve your date, you will receive an email containing your questionnaire. You can begin filling this out whenever you begin to nail down your details. We’ll need to know the time and address of your party so we know when and where to send your princess guest! You can also fill us in on other information about your little girl or the party itself so that we can deliver the best and most personal party experience possible! Our goal is to always make sure our parties are 100% perfect for the child and the occasion, so giving us complete and accurate information on your questionnaire is super important. We want to make your little girl’s princess party dreams come true!
CREATE AND SEND YOUR INVITATIONS
Just like we need all the details to make sure your party goes off without a hitch, your guests will have plenty of questions about your event that you can answer preemptively in your invitations. Make sure to include the date, time, and address of the party, as well as an email address or phone number for RSVP. It’s also a great idea to include a note about there being a special princess guest present at your event, too. As far as the look of your invitations, it’s always fun to go all-out with princess-themed flair. A princess party is an extremely special royal occasion, after all! There are tons of online shops that sell templated princess party invitations that they can personalize with the details of your event for a professional looking invitation, or you can go the route of basic fill-in-the-blank invitations from your local party supply store. These are often available in great colors for a princess-themed bash and are a budget-friendly option. For an even more magical touch, spend an hour or two creating handmade invitations with your little girl! Glitter, construction paper, stickers, or princess printouts are excellent invitation making supplies.
DECORATE THE PARTY SPACE
Do you want to truly make your little girl’s day one to remember? For a completely immersive experience, a decorated party space is a must. Whether your party is in your home or at a rented space, you can do a few simple things that are sure to make a huge impact. The first thing to decide is your party’s color scheme. Do you want to decorate using your little girl’s favorite color? Or perhaps using pink and purple, the default colors of princess parties? You can even choose to have your party themed to match the signature colors of your princess guest. For example, if Snow White is making an appearance, golden yellow and apple red are the perfect hues to use in your balloons, streamers, centerpieces, and tableware. You can keep things simple, or you can decorate elaborately so that your event is truly fit for a princess! Need inspiration?

GET A CAKE
No children’s party is complete without a magically delicious cake! Whether you are taking on the task of baking and decorating on your own or you are taking your plans and ideas to the local bakery, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of time to pull off your little girl’s dream princess party cake. Princess party cakes can be simple or elaborate, depending on your skillset, budget, and desires. Shaped creations like castle cakes are always a hit at princess parties, as are more simple sheet cakes that are decorated with princess elements. You can start with your child’s favorite flavor to make sure the cake is personalized to her liking. It’s always a great idea to have the frosting colors and decor elements match your party space for an added touch of magic. Make sure to snap some photos of your masterpiece before the kids dig in!
PREPARE YOUR PARTY FAVORS
Party favors are always a special treat for the kids who attend your little girl’s princess party. It’s a way to show appreciation, and children are always delighted to receive small toys or trinkets to take home with them. For a princess party, common favors include wands, crowns, or costume jewelry. You don’t have to go the route of princess-themed favors, though. You can send your young fairytale fans home with traditional bags of candy or fun, unexpected items like stickers or activity books. Have your little girl address the treats with each of her friends’ names and hand them out as they leave.
REMIND YOUR GUESTS ABOUT THE PRINCESS
A princess party is always more fun when every child is able to relax and enjoy the experience of meeting their favorite princess character! Letting the other parents know ahead of time allows them to prepare their child for the princess’ arrival, meaning the kids will all come ready and excited to play. Plus, hearing that you are having a princess guest is often a cue to the other parents to send their children in fairytale dress up clothes. You’ll get wonderful photos your little girl will want to look back on for years to come!
