Taking The Stress Out Of Princess Parties In Middletown

By Angela Briggs


If your daughter's birthday is coming up, it's probably time to think about a party to celebrate the event. You may have already attended a few princess parties in Middletown and will want to make sure the one you throw will be up to standard. Luckily it's not that difficult to host a party that will have your daughter's friends talking about it for all the right reasons. You just need to be creative and to plan a little.

The first step is to set the scene. You will need the party invitations to suit the theme. Be creative and let your imagination run wild. For instance, make invitations in the shape of a castle where you have to open the doors to read the message. Another option is to roll up the invitation and seal it with wax so that it looks like a royal decree from ancient times.

The decor is an important part to the success of the event too. If weather permits and you have a garden, turn the space into an enchanted forest. Twinkling lights, pieces of mirror hanging from trees, lots and lots of flowers and a chocolate fountain can do wonders to create a magic setting. Having the party outside will also make cleaning up afterwards a breeze.

The food should be fit for royalty. This doesn't mean that you need to break the budget on expensive treats. A simple sandwich or cake can become something special with the help of cookie cutters. Edible glitter and a bit of food coloring can also add a magic touch. Use paper plates and drinking cups made of gold or silver colored paper and add sugar crystals to look like jewels.

Kids often love to dress up. Instead of letting them come dressed in costumes, ask them to wear simple, everyday clothes. Then buy pieces of fabric like tulle or something soft and shiny in different colors, have elastic bands and safety pins handy and let the guests design their own outfits. Accessories like costume jewelry are important to have on hand too. In this way you keep the children occupied and encourage them to be creative while eliminating the risk of someone else wearing a better outfit than the birthday girl.

Have plenty of entertainment options ready but don't be too structured as far as the games and activities are concerned. Provide the materials for crafts like making their own edible necklaces and ensure that there is good music for the guests to dance to. A magician dressed as a court jester can be a good option if you need the guests to calm down for a bit. Otherwise, play a movie with an inspiring princess theme.

Remember that some girls hate the idea of frilly pink dresses. They want to be active and sporty, like so many modern princesses. A jumping castle is the perfect solution. Otherwise, choose a space princess theme and let them create an obstacle course through the 'galaxy'. This will remind them that girls may use their brains too.

If you don't have the time or the skills to arrange everything yourself, let a party planner come to the rescue. There are several who can organize princess parties in Middletown and they offer packages for different budgets. You may also ask them to do a custom package just for your precious girl.
