You have an exciting day coming up! Your little girl’s favorite princess is on her way to help celebrate her special birthday, and a day as amazing as that deserves preparation. The Princess Party Co. in Phoenix will take care of the entertainment so you can focus on preparing the other aspects of your event. Here are some of our best tips to help you get ready for your celebration!

How to Prepare For Your Princess

Fill Out Your Questionnaire

As soon as you reserve your princess party date, you’ll be sent a questionnaire to complete before your event. Don’t worry, it won’t be anything like homework. Most of the questions are things you’ve already gotten figured out, like which princess you’d like to arrive, what time she should make her grand entrance, and the address of your party venue. You can also tell us details about your little girl that will make the day even more special for her. We strive for perfection with every princess party we do, so this questionnaire is a super important piece of the princess party puzzle!

Decide On Your Invitations

Every princess party needs to have a royal proclamation! Your invitations will set the tone of the event, so it’s a great idea to begin using your princess visitor as inspiration for all the elements of your special soiree! You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to put together invitations when you have such a great theme to work with. You can buy packs of fill-in-the-blank invitations from your local party supply store, purchase customized invites from online shops, or even go old school and hand make them using craft supplies. Make sure to include the party date, time, address, and RSVP information.

Gather Decorations

Decorations will help immerse your little ones into a fairytale land full of magic for your child’s birthday! Whether you want to go all out with sparkles and fancy decor items or keep things simple with balloons and streamers, you’ll be able to transform your party space into a kingdom’s grand ballroom! Using your princess visitor as the starting point for all of your decorations, you’ll be able to come up with a design scheme fit for the most important princess—your little girl! If Rapunzel is your impending visitor, golden yellow and deep purple are the perfect colors to sprinkle throughout your decor. You can also look further into the fairytale background of your princess guest for iconic items, like Rapunzel’s sun shapes or paper lanterns.

Make Plans For Your Cake

A birthday cake is a must for a children’s party! Your little girl will love to have a beautiful and delicious cake as the cherry on top of an already perfect day. You may want to bake the cake yourself, or you may prefer to take your ideas to a professional baker. Either way, you’ll want to make sure to have plenty of time before the event to come up with a delightful dessert. A simple sheet cake or round cake will get the job done, or you can go a little more royal with a shaped creation complete with fondant and all the dressings, like princess figurines or edible flowers.

Prepare Party Favors

The party favors you pass out to children as they leave will be their last exciting treat of the day. They will love receiving just about anything, but making the small token something special will be an appreciated touch. For princess parties, popular items are crowns, wands, and costume jewelry, and classic party favors include stickers, bags of candy, and small toys. The most special party favors are the ones that are personalized to the recipient. Have your little girl label the treat bags with her friends’ names, include a short thank you note, and hand them out to each guest as the party ends!

Tell Your Guests It’s a Princess Party

When everyone knows what to expect from your princess party, they will be able to relax and enjoy the big day without worry. Your princess will be charming, friendly, and lovable, but sometimes young children need extra preparation in order to warm up to her, even if they recognize her from their favorite books and movies. It will be an exciting day with every guest ready for princess fun! It’s a great idea to include a note with your invitations so that everyone is on the same page.
