Be creative when planning a princess party.
Although you can readily find princess party decorations at a party supply stores, these decorations can be expensive. If you are planning a princess party and you want to save some money and want some creative ideas, knowing a few different options on make your own princess party supplies will be less expensive and provide a unique party experience. Does this Spark an idea?
Invitations
To let your guests know the details of the party, you need to send them invitations. One homemade option would be to create a royal proclamation scroll. To create scrolls, you can either print or handwrite the party details on parchment paper or construction paper. Use verbiage such as "Hear Ye, Hear Ye" or "By Order of the Princess." After you have written your scrolls, roll them up into a tube shape and tie them with a piece of yarn. Mailing these may be difficult or costly, though, so consider hand delivery by someone "in the princess's court."
Another option is to decorate blank note cards using rubber stamps with a princess theme. Look for stamps that have crowns, tiaras or princesses on them. Then write your party details inside the card.
Crafts
Craft projects are one way to keep your party guests entertained. You can let the guests make their own princess accessories and then take their finished items home as a party favor. One accessory that can be made is a crown or tiara. Either purchase undecorated foam crowns from your local craft supply store or else make crowns out of construction paper. Provide the guests with sequins, fake gem stones, feathers and paint to decorate their crowns. Or provide the guests with beads and yarn to make royal jewelry.
Games
If active games are what you are looking for, consider modifying the party classic pin the tail on the donkey. Instead of a donkey, use a poster of a frog and call the game pin the kiss on the frog prince. Then place a little bit of lipstick on the guests and while they are blindfolded have them try to kiss the frog. The guest who gets her lipstick kiss closest to the frog's mouth wins.
Another idea is to modify Simon Says into Queen or King Says. Have an adult play the queen or king and provide commands to the players, such as take a step forward or hop on one leg. The players only perform the commanded task if the queen or king says, "The Queen says" prior to the instruction. If a player performs an action without hearing "The Queen says," that player is out. The player that remains when all others are out wins.
