The Princess Party Co. in Minneapolis will take care of all the potentially stressful elements of your event entertainment, so you can focus on enjoying the princess performer right along with your little girl. We’ve also put together some of our best tips for preparations that will help you create an enchanting birthday party with as little stress as possible.
Fill Out Your Questionnaire
We’ll send you a questionnaire shortly after you reserve your party date with our team of fairy godmothers. The questionnaire is full of important questions that will help us prepare princess party perfection just for your little girl! You’ll need to fill us in on things like the address of your party, when your princess should make her grand entrance, and any details about your child or event you would like us to know. Completing this as soon as you can will give us plenty of time to get our magic ready for the big day. We want to make sure we deliver the party of your little girl’s dreams, and filling out this questionnaire is the key to a successful soiree!
Plan Your Invitations
Your invitations are one of the most important to-dos on your preparation list! After all, it’ll be hard for your special guests to arrive at your royal ball if they don’t know when or where they’re supposed to be. Using your princess visitor as your theme, you’ll be able to come up with some adorable invites that will reflect both your little girl’s personality and her favorite princess! Make sure to include all the pertinent details, like the party date, time, address, and RSVP information. You can go the classic, handmade route and haul out your craft supplies, or you can make things more simple by picking up a package of fill-in-the-blank invitation cards. Another solid option is to email out digitally designed invitations to the parents of your young guests.
Prepare to Decorate
Just imagine how excited your little girl will be to see that her living room has become a fairytale kingdom’s grand ballroom! Don’t worry—you won’t have to go all out or hire a royal decorator to make your child’s eyes widen with enchantment. It will be easy to put together simple yet beautiful decor to give everyone a taste of the royal treatment. Using your princess guest’s backstory and color scheme as the inspiration for your decorations, you’ll find it easy to put together a lovely party space. If Cinderella is your little girl’s chosen princess, light blue and white will look magical sprinkled across your balloons, streamers, and confetti. You can even incorporate special items, like clear plastic or glass slippers in your centerpieces, for example, to further bring your princess guest to the forefront!
Design Your Cake
The birthday cake is one of the most anticipated elements of a child’s party. For a princess party, your cake can be simple or elaborate, because the magic will already be there! Whether you want to bake the cake yourself or commission the local bakery to create it for you, start planning early so you’ll have plenty of time to come up with the perfect design. A classic sheet or round cake can be just as elegant and charming as a larger and more elaborate cake complete with fondant and multiple layers. Use frosting colors that correspond to your princess performer’s signature palette will help make any cake not only delicious but beautiful and perfect for your little girl’s special occasion!
Decide on Party Favors
Your little girl’s friends will be delighted to receive a small, fun parting gift for attending the fairytale party of their dreams! Options for your party favors include themed gifts like tiaras, wands, crowns, or costume jewelry, or more classic options like treat bags filled with candy, stickers, crayons, activity books, or crafts made during the party. It’s always a great idea to have your little girl personalize the favors by handwriting her guests’ names or including a short handwritten note of thanks with each one. She can hand them out at the end of the party for an extra special touch!
Tell Your Guests It’s a Princess Party
Since you’ve done so much to make this the party of your little girl’s dreams, you’ll want to make sure that everyone invited is prepared to enjoy the day to the fullest. You probably will want to let everyone know about the princess visitor, even if your first instinct is to keep her presence a surprise. Some children, especially younger ones, might need to be prepared to spend time with someone new, even if that someone new is their favorite fairytale princess! It’s also a subtle hint to your guests that it might be a good idea to dress up in their best costume clothes, meaning you’ll get some super-cute photos of your party guests!
