Pretty Princess Party  For invitations:  I made them out of decorative papers found at a local craft store, trimmed the edges with decorative scissors, and hole-punched the top and tied with a pretty ribbon.  On the envelope I used a crown stamp and put that above each girl's name (such as Princess Asha). Each girl was instructed to wear something pretty (like an Easter dress or princess gown). For the food:  I made a tea pot cake with rolled fondant used for the handles and flowers. Bake two cakes in oven-safe bowls, putting flat sides together for the teapot.  I had forks rolled inside a pretty napkin. And Kool-Aid ready for drinking. For activities:  Each girl had a pretty pillow to sit on while on the floor in a circle.  I had children's music playing in the background. I read "Princess and the Pea" and "My Big Green Pocketbook" as girls were getting settled and the moms left. After reading, we played "Find the Pea".  I hid a tennis ball under one of the pillows as the girls hid their eyes.  They had to sit on each pillow to discover the hidden "pea".  Then we played "Princess, Pop the Pea!" by having each girl try to pop a helium-filled balloon by sitting on it (or laying on it). If someone wasn't able to pop their balloon, I carefully yet secretly helped them by popping the balloon with a toothpick while they were sitting on it.  Then we played "Musical Chairs/Cake Walk". I had enough chairs for each person minus one, put on music and had them walk in a circle around the chairs. When the music stopped, they were to get a chair and sit in it as quickly as possible.  The one that didn't find a chair was out and picked out a prize.  A chair was removed and we played until only one was left. I also had a station at my daughter's vanity for "Pretty Princess Makeup" that included lip gloss, sparkle powder for faces and arms, perfume, and nail polish that adults applied to the girls.  For a sit-down activity, I had prepared hand-held mirrors for them to decorate.  I used puffy paint and wrote each girl's own name on a mirror before the party so they were dry.  Then I had them pick out gems and shells to decorate with.  They were able to get gems by doing one more activity: "Find the Treasure". I filled a gift box that had a window on top of it (think perfume came in it) with a large bag of rice and hid the tiny gems inside.  Each girl had to hunt by hand in the rice for a certain amount of jewels to then use on their mirrors.  Afterwards, since we own an inflatable princess jumping house, I got that ready and let the girls jump until their hearts were content.    For prizes: After each game, each person got a prize.  It wasn't about winning but about playing. I bought things from a local dollar store such as sparkle lip gloss, bubbles in the shape of an ice cream cone, nail polish, and rings and candy bracelets. Each gift bag was a 12x12 inch piece of pretty fabric and tied with a fabric bow.     For decorations:  I used a pink net canopy that was usually over my daughter's bed.  I hung it from the ceiling over a "Princess Throne" and let my daughter sit there while she opened presents. I used a Disney princess snowglobe as table decoration with lots of confetti on the table. I used a play tea cart to present the prizes.  And the vanity sat in the corner -- it's pink and purple with a mirror so that was in keeping with the theme. And the pillows were on the floor -- I happen to have a purple couch so we just used those extra pillows along with any throw pillows from my daughter's room (we had lots of those, too). And I bought a disposable helium machine and blew up 50 balloons, tying some to stair banisters, some to tables and chairs, and others I let float to the ceiling with ribbons which was actually magical looking as the girls entered the room.  Just a few more things I discovered by going to a professional "Princess Tea" after I threw our party: (wish I had done these things for little extra umph)   1.  Lots of gems were sprinkled on tables with tablecloths (think confetti only larger). Each girl was given a paper crown. On the tables baskets for glue sticks and markers were available for decorating the crown and they could use the gems.  2.  Silver-plated tea sets were used as centerpieces and flowers put in the teapots.  3.  For food they catered beautiful petit fours, star cookies decorated with sparkly sprinkles, and mini creme puffs.  Real tea, water and apple juice were served in real tea cups.  Have a fun time!  I'm sure it will be worth it.
