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 can make or break the atmosphere. Create an enchanted garden with the clever use of fairy lights, bits of mirror, flowers, streamers and a chocolate fountain as centerpiece. If you can, use your actual garden as setting because this makes cleaning up so much easier.

No party can be a success if the food isn't up to scratch. Dainty little cakes and sandwiches in interesting shapes are always popular with the young ones. Some food coloring and edible glitter can work magic too and can transform healthy snacks into very desirable ones. Serve everything in the prettiest paper plates and cups you can find.

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.

For an indoor event, it's probably a good idea to have more subdued activities such as a movie or story-telling hour or craft activities. A professional children's entertainer is a good investment too but instead of hiring a clown, hire a 'court jester' instead. Someone dressed as a popular princess can be a hit too. For outside, you may want to consider a 'royal' treasure hunt or even a maze.

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.
