Perfect Princess Party
When little E Turned 4 we just had to have a Princess party for her! I am actually 2 years late in posting it!!! (I’m kind of the worst, but these posts take a long time- you’ll notice I have a few coming out soon because I am on summer break). She loves EVERYTHING royal.
Dress ups made fabulous décor on a dollar store clothes line.
The cake was nothing short of AMAZING.
It’s worth noting that I don’t love “goody bags” I usually use props at our parties that the kids get to take home instead, I think that they will use more often a crown/tiara or a sword to play with rather than another bouncy ball, and a bag full of candy. That’s just a personal thing.
Here are the ideas that I came up with to make this party worthy of a princess….
Everyone got a crown when they first arrived.
We chose a few of her favorite princesses and created stations for each one of them.
Tangled
At this station I put out a bunch of crepe paper and the kids took turns “tangling” eachother up like Rapunzel’s hair. This was super fun and cute. No links for the crepe paper although you can get it at any party store, I buy mine at the dollar store because its cheap and they always have tons of it.
Sword in the Stone
I made a big paper mache rock (this was a little insane and took too many man hours), then cut small holes in it and stuck the swords all around in the holes. Each party participant had to pull a sword out of the stone, which we then took to slay the dragon (Malificent). Guys- how cute is my Godson? xoxo
Sleeping Beauty
Malificent was our Dragon Pinata. The kids took the swords that they pulled from the stone and used them to slay her. When they did, they were able to pick up the prizes from inside and add them to their “goody bags”.

Aladdin
For the Aladdin station I called local carpet stores and found one that had old samples of carpet lying around that they let me use. I let the kids choose one, we made a circle and played “Magical Carpets”. When we were done the kids were allowed to keep their sample to play with at home, but any left behind were taken to the local dog shelter for a warm spot for them to lie on.
Sofia the First
Little E ADORES Sofia. The flying horse derby is a favorite episode, so I made flying horses like Minimus for each attendee. I put them into our play house and labeled it “Stables”. The kids were able to go choose a horse and ride it around the yard like the flying derby race.
Princess and the Frog
An updated version of pin the tail on the donkey. I had a large poster of Navid printed and tacked it to a tree. I then used my silhouette to cut out card stock lips. I blindfolded the kids, and had them “kiss the frog”. If you aren’t feeling that ambitious (yeah I know I am a little nutty) Amazon does have a version Click for Kiss the Frog.
The Little Mermaid
I set up a water table because in July its hot as heck, and at 4 the water table is so fun. I added a bunch of princess figurines including mermaids for them to play with, then take home.
I always have a photo opportunity or two so I put up a princess castle backdrop they could pose in front of. I had made this one out of PVC pipe, but it was horrid, so I ended up buying (2) for my next adventures.
Have questions? Need more info? Just ask, always happy to answer them, that’s what RNYM is all about, making your life easier. Something that would also have been a fabulous addition to our party would be if we had brought one of Mandas Enchanted Events talented characters to the house for some fun.
