Princess Birthday Party Planning

If you are stuck for ideas on hosting the perfect princess theme party then look no further, we've done it for you...

Birthday Party Planning

Your birthday party planning is crucial if you want to host a successful party, but as usual Lello and Monkey have done a lot of the hard work for you! Find the makings of a great princess birthday party below...

Don't forget the party bags (either prepare them beforehand or do our treasure hunt game and let the kids fill the party bags with the 'treasure' they find!)

10.30 Biscuit Decorating - pre-bake some ginger bread pirate biscuits and provide icing pens and silver balls to decorate them with. We like these biscuit cutters and icing pens.

This activity will give you 10 minutes grace to greet your guests and will allow time for any late comers.  If anyone arrives too late to do this activity explain kindly, but  firmly, that the activity is finished now, but they can have a go at the end before they go home (by which time they may have forgotten or they may want to stay behind to do the activity).

Present Opening! – Clear a table for presents, so that you can open them after the guests have left and make a list of who bought what for the thank you cards! - Print some FREE princess thank you notes!

10.45     Princess Treasure Hunt – treasure hunts are a great ice breaker. I have never known a child refuse to take part.  If well organised, this will take around 20 minutes plus 10 minutes free play time if the weather is nice. This is what we do best so go buy our Princess Treasure Hunt game now!

11.15     Pass the Royal Purse – This is similar to pass the parcel without the need to wrap layers and layers of treats. Just fill a pretty purse with enough treats as there are guests.  Each guest takes a treat if they are holding the royal purse when the music stops.

11.25    Princess Stepping Stones – Like musical chairs, but children have to dance around a ring of stepping stones and find a vacant stepping stone when the music stops. Don't worry we have designed one for you already - Princess Stepping Stones game.

11.35   Sleeping Snow White – just like sleeping logs, but children have to pretend to bite an apple and fall asleep and the first one to move is out until one is remaining. You may have to produce a tickling stick for any highly competitive guests.

11.45     Craft Activity – Why not try our princess and butterfly craft kits. This should give you some time to get your pre-prepared lunch out of the fridge and onto serving plates.

12.00     Lunch Time

12.20     Birthday Cake – Singing Happy Birthday, blow out candles...easy!

12.25     Story Time - We like ‘The Real Princess’ by Brenda Williams.

Extra Princess Birthday Party Games:

1. Pin the Parrot on the Pirate – Again we've done all the hard work for you so go get our Pin the Tiara on the Princess game!
2. Mini Makeover Stations – Great princess party game for older children! Set up a 3 stations to be manned by yourself and a friend. One person can apply makeup, the other nail varnish and the third station, a box of old costume jewellery, can be manned by an old mirror.
3. Colour in Princess Palace – Download and print out the FREE Princess Palace. Provide pencil crayons, felt pens and glitter glue pens and choose a winner at the end of the party.
4. Best Dressed Princess competition - Ask your guests to come in fancy dress and judge the winner at the end of the party. If you're out of ideas why not buy one of our Princess costumes.
