Princess Birthday Party Invitations

Make your own princess party invitations

Try using calligraphy (or a script-type font) on parchment paper, then rolling it up to make a scroll. Tie it with a satin ribbon. For an added touch, tie it to a tiara (Shindigz has great tiaras - available by the dozen) and hand deliver them to the invited guests.

If you prefer not to use scrolls, seal your invitations with wax seals for an added touch of sophistication.

Another do-it-yourself option is to add your child's face to a princesses body. You can do this easily at faceinhole.com. Search for "princess" to see the options available. You can print your photo creation and use it for the invitations. You can also take pictures of party guests and do the same for them, sending the finished photo along with the thank you note.

Personalized princess invitations

Invitations with the birthday child's name printed on them are always a big hit. You can get personalized princess invitations at Birthday in a Box.

Princess Birthday Party Decorations

Decorating for a princess party means going over-the-top - princesses expect nothing less! Guests will know right away this is a fancy affair when you roll out the red carpet for them. Pink is a traditional theme color for princess parties, but if you're looking for something different, try royal reds and purples, or go with gold and silver.

Set off the party entrance with a personalized castle gate. Going with a castle theme? Put flagstone patterned paper (see left) on the walls to turn your house into a castle!
Let your royal princess rule the day from this great throne that she can decorate herself.
