- How to Throw a Disney Party for Girls - omster-com
For the parents of most girls, throwing a Disney princess themed birthday party is a no-brainer. The question is, how can they plan a Disney theme birthday party that is both fun and affordable? Here are tips for planning a budget princess birthday party at home.
Disney Princess Birthday Party Invitations
An alternative to buying a pack of pre-printed Disney princess invitations at the store is making these inexpensive princess invitations at home.
On fancy paper, print the invite in a script font: "Hear ye, hear ye! Princesses Bell, Aurora, Ariel, Cinderella, and Snow White are cordially invited to a grand ball at [party address, date, and time.] Please come dressed as your favorite princess." Glue dowels to the ends and roll up like a scroll to deliver, or simply roll into a tube and tie with a pretty ribbon.
Disney Princesses Party Supplies and Decorations
Chances are that the birthday girl already has a lot of Disney princess theme books, movies, toys, and games at home. Gather them up and display, rounding out as necessary with store bought Disney princess party decorations.
A wonderful finishing touch is a life-sized likeness of a Disney princess. (Take pictures of each guest with the cut out and send it postcard-style as a thank-you note afterward.) Parents can buy cardboard Disney princess cutouts, or they can freehand one on a large cardboard box and cut to size.
Princess Party Games - Disney Princess Trivia
In advance of the party, compile a list of Disney princess trivia questions, ranging from easy ("how many dwarfs did Snow White live with?") to difficult ("what's the name of Maleficent's pet raven?"). Whoever gets the most questions right wins a prize!
Disney Princesses Party Games - Sleeping Beauty Musical Chairs
Put a twist on the classic party game of musical chairs by putting out an equal number of guests and chairs, and whenever the music stops everyone sits down and looks beneath the seat. The girl with a picture of a spindle taped to the underside of her chair has to go to sleep. The last girl standing "wakes everyone up with a kiss" by distributing a Hershey's Kiss.
Princess Party Activities - Princess and the Frog
Telling guests it is Prince Naveen, tape a large picture of a frog to a flat surface. Blindfold guests one at a time and have them try to stick a laminated "kiss" to the frog's lips. A pair of puckered lips is easy to freehand draw, or it can be found in clip art form on the Internet.
Fashion Show and Disney Princess Ball
Since guests are already dressed up in their favorite princess attire, it's more than appropriate to conclude the party with a fashion show followed by a grand ball in the living room. Parents could even set up "makeover stations" where girls can get their hair curled, nails painted, or bead their own necklace or bracelet for the occasion before the ball begins.
How to Make an Inexpensive Disney Princess Birthday Cake
A simple rectangular 9x13" cake can become a Disney Princess themed cake with an inexpensive screen print with a Disney princess theme (available at most bakeries.) A 9x13" cake can also be topped with small Disney princess figurines bought in the toy aisle or dollar store, surrounded by hearts and flowers made out of frosting.
Throwing a Disney princess birthday party doesn't have to be elaborate, messy, or expensive. With these simple ideas and the right artistic touch, it's easy to have a homemade Disney princess party that is budget-friendly and provides a great afternoon of fun for any girl.
As an alternative, parents can get tips on putting together a generic princess birthday party or gather ideas on some great all-purpose party games.
