There are a lot of little details we need to know in order to make sure the party we prepare for your little girl is as magical as can be. Our goal is to always deliver the exact party your little girl has been dreaming of.

The Princess Party Co. in Chicago is ready to make your little girl’s wishes come true for an enchanting birthday.
Prepare Your Invitations
Much like your questionnaire contains everything we need to know to get ready for your party, your invitations are a treasure-trove of information for your guests, and it’s important to make sure the get all the pertinent details with plenty of time before the big day! Your invitations should include your party date and time, address, RSVP information, and other things you want your guests to be aware of, like if your child wants them to dress up for the big day. The great thing about invitations is that you can design them pretty much however you’d like, as long as you get all those things in there! Pick up a package of invitations at your local party supply store, order some from an Etsy shop, or do the digital thing and just email the info to your guests. Want to customize your requests?

Decorate for Your Princess Party
A princess party is a truly special occasion, and it’s one that deserves lovely decorations! Your little girl and her guests will appreciate the added magic of a beautiful party space while they befriend their favorite fairytale maiden. It’s easy to create an enchanting environment for a princess party because you have so much inspiration coming from your princess guest herself! Her signature colors can easily serve as the basis of your decor. Is Ariel on her way? Confetti, balloons, and tableware in purple, green, and ocean blue will hit the mark. You can find even more decor inspiration within the princess guest’s story, too! Seashells, nautical netting, and fish figurines and cutouts are affordable and easy to find elements that will make your little girl feel like she’s actually in her favorite princess’ magical world! No matter which princess will be making her appearance at your little girl’s event, you’ll be able to find plenty of creative ideas within her fairytale.
Bake A Cake
Cake is an important part of any birthday party, and it’s one of the most fun things to plan! Whether you want to include your little girl in the cake design or leave it as a surprise for the big day, you’ll want to get started with the cake planning as soon as possible. If you’re bringing your plans to the local bakery, you’ll need to give them enough notice to execute what you’ve chosen, and if you’re baking it yourself, it’s often wise to leave time for a trial run if you’re not the most experienced baker or decorator. Pick a flavor your child will like and decide whether you want to keep it classic or go crazy with the princess theme. Your little girl’s favorite princess has signature colors you can incorporate into the frosting or decor elements. Lovely extras like edible flowers and pearls will add an extra touch of enchantment to her cake.
Pick Out Party Favors
Wondering what you should give out to your child’s friends as party favors? There are tons of options they’d love to receive! It’s often a good idea to stick with the theme of the party and give them small princess-themed items as they leave so they can take some of the magic home with them. You can offer your young guests crowns, costume jewelry, wands, or activity books featuring their new princess friend! If you want to stick to classic party favors, treat bags filled with candy are great, as are crafts that the kids spend time creating together during the party! It’s always a sweet touch to have your child label the favors with her friends’ names, or include short thank you notes with each one.
Remind Your Guests About the Princess
We all know the best parties are the ones where every guest is excited to be involved in the festivities! In order to make that happen for your little girl’s princess party, it’s important to let everyone know that a princess will be present during the party. While we’re certain that every child will take to our princess upon meeting her, having making them aware beforehand can expedite the process and let each child jump right into their new friendship with the royal maiden! The best way to tell parents about the princess is to include a note with your invitation, but you can also send out a text or email before the big day!
