I put together a fairy princess birthday party for my 5 yr. old daughter. As a child I loved the idea of fairies that lived in my garden and I have passed that onto my daughter. We sent all her friends fairy invitations and  also put an invitation outside in the garden for the real fairies. The invitation asked that all fairies come dressed in their fairy best and boys in their pixie best. As the children started to arrive we made them close their eyes and say the magic words that would give them fairy sight. I had premade wings out of wire, peds (I got a whole box full from the local foot store,  the ones you put on while trying on new shoes) and  glitter glue and put pretty ribbons for ties around their  arms. The girls also got flower encrusted  headbands(I made them by hot gluing silk flowers  onto cheap plastic headbands) and the boys got green felt pixie hats (also handmade). The little fairies and pixies sat down at their toadstool decorated  tables (red tablecloths with white spots on) and  decorated special handmade wands (wooden dowel with a wooden star attached and spray painted gold).  They had to sprinkle different color fairy dust over  them to make then truly magical. After that they ate  fairy food (pizza bites, grapes, finger sandwiches and fairy fizz). When the children had finished their lunch  they all played with bubbles until a special guest  arrived. A REAL fairy! She had got the invitation we left in the garden and had come to play with the children. She had fairy games, fairy magic with fairy dust and  magical face painting. Then on to the cake. I had  made a toadstool in the middle of a garden cake that  had a fairy Barbie sitting on the toadstool talking to two sugar painted butterflies. The children loved it.  They all went home with their wings and headbands, pixie hats, magical wands and each child was given a magical bouncy ball that was clear inside and when it  bounced it would flash with magical light!! I think I made a few more true fairy believers out of this party.
