BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING TIP

Delegate jobs to friends you know won’t mind helping. Ask them before the party so they won’t be surprised.

* Someone to take a few great shots: The classic- child blowing out the candles. Have Mom and Dad bend over next to the birthday star while singing for a perfect picture.Take a few of the parents and make sure you get a group shot of all the kids.

* Someone to help with the cake and food

*Someone to help with the games and activities (maybe your babysitter or a family member)

* Your child will love to help put up decorations.

If your girls are old enough, set out a couple of digital cameras and let them take turns photograping the party! They will have a blast and it’s easy to delete bad pics.

A good party idea is:taking lots of pictures and videotaping parts of the party. Don’t feel like you have to tape every second.. Just the highlights. You will miss out on the fun if YOU are the photographer and videographer.

As the years go on, you may want to make a DVD with bits of each party streamed together. What fun it will be to see your child as they grow! And they grow FAST!

DECORATIONS
Get a white tressel and hang pink streamers and curling ribbon from top to bottom. Cover with pink and white balloons and even some white Christmas lights. Find a pretty chair to set under the tressel.

Tie some awesome super shaped Disney Princess balloons to the chair and to the tressel for a stunning birthday party room eye catcher.

This, of course, will be the princess’ throne where she can open presents and take photos.This idea came from Lori Butler who is a homeschool mom in Iowa.

Did you know Birthdaydirect.com has a matching set of streamers, balloons and curling ribbon for each pattern to decorate the whole room? They advertise here, soo.. we encourage you to shop with them.

ACTIVITIES
Mom, don’t stress out! Just choose a couple of these fun easy ideas. Don’t feel like you have to do all of these.

GREET THE GUESTS IN STYLE
For a show stopper right from the start, find a willing man that can dress in a tux (or a knight in shining armor) and greet the princesses at the door. It may be dad, uncle or big brother. Have a bubble wand for each guest as they come into the “castle”.

DRESS UP-FASHION SHOW
Have an area filled with dress up clothes, wigs, hats shoes and accessories. Have a fashion show with the lights dimmed. Each girl gets a flashlight to shine on the runway. Play music from Disney. Order pretty soft feather boas, bracelets, rings, and necklaces that can be part of the girls’ favors.

PRETTY PINK PRINCESSES PRIMPING PARTY -
Have a table area with a sign labled PRINCESS ARIEL’S MAKEOVER”. Start with a hand massage with a sweet smelling hand cream, then have the girls do nails. Give them each a Disney Princess ring and matching bracelet.

Eyebrow pencils, rouge, lipstick and eye shadow can be part of this makeup area. Order cute Disney Princess mirrors and mirror compacts. You can order sweet smelling lip gloss that is part of a Disney Princess necklace.

The next table should have a sign ” SLEEPING BEAUTY BOUTIQUE ” Have a hair station where they can try on wigs, braid and brush hair. Top off their new hairdos with a Disney Princess tiara. There are tons of pretty barrettes, bracelets, rings and necklaces that you can order too.

GAMES
1.Pin the Tiara On The Princess.
Enlarge a picture of the birthday girl. Make copies of a paper tiara. Play pin the tiara on the princess.

2. Royal Freeze Dance
Use music from Disney Princess movies. The girls all dance till the music STOPS! Last one to stop moving is in charge of the music. Last princess dancing gets a prize.

3.Hide and Seek
Kids also love to hunt for hidden treasures. Hide small toys throughout the party area and let the kids look for treats. Have a helper guide kids that can’t find their prize. You can hide their party favors and have them hunt right before the party ends as an exciting grand finale.

4.Find Cinderella’s Shoes
Have all the girls take off their shoes and put them in a pile. First one to find their shoes wins. As each girl finds her shoes, they get a sticker.

5.Cinderella Sweep
Have two teams-2 balloons -2 brooms. Have girls sweep a balloon from one end to the other and back. Winning team gets stickers or an extra treat.

ART AND CRAFT AREA
Every princess needs a beautiful piece of hand crafted jewelery. The best part is that you can eat it after you admire it! Use food items like licorice strings, O shaped hard candies , or colored loops cereal.

Use your imagination. Make necklaces, bracelets and rings! You can get beads from your local craft shop and make a special take home favor. Put it in a mini pink tin lunch box.

PRINCESS JASMIN’S HENNA TATTOOS
Another great party theme idea is to paint a bracelet or ring on the girls. Use body paint and a fine brush or fine watercolor marker for details. You can download simple designs if you google henna tattoos.

Finish off with shimmery glitter. Girls love this creative way to express themselves! And it washes off easily. Give the kids ideas but, let them use their imagination and creativity.

You can also order pretty temporary tatoos that have a Disney Princess theme on them.

Also, this party should be FUN! Less stress means not to make a huge ordeal over the menu. You are not putting on a wedding, it’s your kid’s birthday party. FUN is the key word here!

Of course setting ground rules is important. But let them choose the pattern. Birthdaydirect has so many kids favorite characters and theme party ideas. Shop with your child and let them show you their favorite ones.
