Does your child love princesses? If they do, you could throw them a princess party for their next birthday. Whether their favorite princess is Cinderella, Ariel, Elsa, or Jasmine, we have some ideas to make their party extra magical! We know how stressful planning a party can be. Not only do you have to think of decorations, food, and games, but you also have to make sure all the things you buy fit in with the princess theme. That is why we created this article of 30 enchanting princess party ideas that you can use to make the perfect party.

Princess Party Decoration Ideas

1. Grand Entrance

What better way to welcome your guests at the start of your party than to have a beautiful grand entrance. Use a pink aisle runner that leads to your door and combine it with a princess crown door topper. This will get everyone excited to get the party started.

2. Castle Gateway

It can be hard to host an indoor party due to COVID. If you are planning on hosting your party outside and won’t be using the front door to welcome guests, use a cardboard castle gateway as an entrance instead. This will make everyone feel as though they are entering a fairytale.

3. Princess Photo Booth

Have all your guests pose like a princess by making your very own photo booth. Hang up a castle tapestry to create a magical background and provide the booth with some props to bring the photo to life. Use crowns, glasses, and glass slippers to capture the perfect moment!

4. Fairytale

Add some twinkle to your party by hanging up white fairy lights behind sheer fabric. Put a bubble or smoke machine alongside the lights to really give a magical feel to your party. This can be a great background for all the princesses to shine in the spotlight and take some photos.

5. Balloons

What is a party without balloons? Celebrate all your favorite princesses by making a multicolored balloon garland. Using blue balloons to represent Cinderella, red for Ariel, yellow for Belle, and so on. Add some confetti or sparkles into the balloons to add some pop!

Princess Party Favor Ideas

6. Disney Princess Gift Bags

Every princess deserves something sweet to eat, especially when the party is over. Get some Disney-themed princess gift bags that have all your favorites featured - from Cinderella to Ariel. Fill the bags with some treats to make your party extra special.

7. Dress Up Fun

If your kid loves princesses, chances are they also love dressing up. Leave your guests feeling like a princess forever by giving them their very own princess dress-up set. Provide them with tiaras, magic wands, and rings to make everyone feel prepared for a royal ball when your party ends.

8. Pretty, Pretty Princess

Playing with makeup is a great idea to spark some imagination into the enchanted world. Getting your guests a princess makeup set is a fashionable and fun way to have everyone feeling like a pretty pretty princess.

9. Inked Up

Fill a princess party bag with some different forms of ink to make your party unforgettable. Get temporary tattoos of unicorns, butterflies, and princesses. You can also fill the bag with a princess notebook and some sparkly pens.

10. Jar of Fun

Purchase a pack of mini jars and tie some pink bows around it and add some gemstone stickers. Fill it with play dough, stickers, and bubbles so that your guests have something to entertain themselves with once the party is over.

Princess Party Food Ideas

11. Afternoon Tea

Follow the English tradition of having an afternoon tea bar to bring the princess origins to life. Serve your tea in teapots with teacups alongside some triangle bite-sized sandwiches and scones. Place the food on a cake stand to make it a beautiful display.

12. Fruit Wands

Put a whimsical twist to your fresh fruit by cutting stars out of different melons or pineapple and then placing it on a skewer. Add whatever other favorite fruit you want below the star and dye the skewer pink to give it a magic wand effect.

13. Castle Cake

Build a multilayer cake with pink frosting and rock candy sprinkles. Top it with mini ice cream cones around the edges creating the castle look. This cake is sure to be a show-stopper!

14. Princess Shaped Food

If you want to take less of a formal approach to sandwiches, use cookie cutters to cut them into princess dresses, castles, glass slippers, and crowns. You can also purchase individual princess cookie cutters such as Elsa from Frozen.

15. Pink Drink

Add a cute sprinkled rim to your mason jar and fill it with a pretty pink beverage. Whether you are serving pink lemonade, strawberry milk, or raspberry cream soda, kids will love having a fun drink to match their pretty dress.

Princess Party Games and Activities

16. Cinderella’s Lost Slipper

Pick one person (probably the birthday girl) to hide a glass slipper somewhere in the yard or room where the party is. Tell everyone else to go into a different room or to close their eyes while the other person is hiding the slipper. Once the slipper is hidden, have everyone else go try to find it. Whoever finds the slipper first gets to hide it next.

17. Tiara Decorating

Have all the princesses decorate their own tiaras that they can take home with them. Provide jewels and stickers to make the crowns extra personalized.

18. Musical Thrones

Dress up your tall dining room chairs and place them in a circle. Play princess music and have the players walk clockwise around the chairs. Stop the music suddenly and have all players rush to sit in an empty chair. The last person standing without a chair gets eliminated. Remove another chair and repeat the process until there is only one chair remaining.

19. Dream Catchers

All princesses have dreams and chase after them. Making dream catchers is a great way to inspire all the little kids to follow their dreams. Purchase embroidery hoops, ribbon, washi tape, beads, and some fun princess charms to have all your guests on the right path of dreams.

20. Pin the Kiss On the Frog

Print out a poster of the frog from the Princess and the Frog and cut enough lips out for everyone at your party. Blindfold one player at a time and spin them. They will then try to place their lips on the mouth of the frog. Whoever's lips are the closest to the frog’s mouth wins.

Princess Party Supplies

Princess-themed plates and other food utensils are a great way to add to your princess party. Use a pink table cloth to make the clean-up process quick and easy.
