Royal Princess 4 year-old Tea Party Ideas

Beautiful Cake
When I gear up to plan my children’s birthday parties, I like to start really early. I’m a planner and enjoy getting all my plans/thoughts on paper and as time goes on I can pick up things that I know I will need. I always start with the theme and build from there. For my daughter’s 4th Birthday, she wanted a Princess party. For her 2nd birthday, I did a Tea party and I had a lot of items that I knew I could reuse. For instance – pink tablecloths & personalized napkins from Pottery Barn Kids, etc.
INVITATIONS: Pink Scroll with think pink ribbon tied. I placed a mini-star wand in the ribbon and ordered small “glass slippers” and placed the scroll inside the shoe. I found small Disney Princess treat boxes and placed the shoe/scroll inside the box, put pink tissue paper and tied the box handle up with Pink Princess ribbon. The invitation said:
"Hear Ye, Hear Ye, By Order of the King and Queen
Calling All Princesses for Tea!
You are cordially invited to a special Tea Party
at the McGlasson Castle to celebrate Princess Brooke’s 4th Birthday.
The royal celebration will begin at
11:00 A.M. on the 20th of June.
The Royalty has asked that you come dressed
in your most royal attire as your favorite princess!
Upon your carriage's arrival, princesses will be greeted in a true royal manner. The royal cook will prepare a feast of goodies for the celebration!
There shall also be festivities including
a royal ball, games, crafts and fun for all. This is a magical celebration not to be missed!
Please say you’ll join us for the royal gala! The castle needs to plan for your arrival! Please respond by June 13th to the Queen Mom at (623) XXX-XXXX."
ENTRANCE: Blow Up Princess Castle and Princess music playing.
SIGN: "Happy Birthday Brooke" banner.
ARRIVAL: 11:00 a.m., upon arrival - each princess was given a wand and a tiara.
COLOR PRINCESS COLORING BOOKS: I had crayons and a princess coloring book for each party attender. Coloring books found at the 99-cent store. The girls colored when they first arrived, waiting for everyone.
Prince Bradley to escort each girl to her seat.
LUNCH: 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
FOOD: Sandwiches - Peanut butter & jelly, ham & cheese, chicken salad, raspberry sandwiches. Sides - fruit & muffins on Brochette (fruit and muffins on skewers), cream puffs, petit fours, dream dip strawberries, veggie tray. Drinks - strawberry lemonade, coke, diet coke.
SNOW WHITE’S ARRIVAL: Snow White surprised the girls, sang a song, took a photo with each girl and read a story and a game.
PASS Cinderella’s Slipper: I used one of the invitation high heels and played princess music and the girls passed the high heel (like Hot Potato).
THE ROYAL BALL: I lined the girls down the hall and formally announced each one into the “Ball.” Then we played Disney Princess music and let them dance.
PIN THE TIARA ON THE PRINCESS: I blew up a photo of my daughter in a pretty dress and laminated it. It was a large poster size. I found a tiara online and printed it on a color printer, laminated it and cut it out. The kids played the normal. The kids took turns trying to get the tiara on the right spot on her head.
We then had cake and started with gift opening.
GOODY BAG: Plastic Disney Princess trick or treat bags – Disney Princess 24 piece puzzle, Princess Pez dispenser, Princess barrettes, all sorts of other princess goodies all from the 99-cent store.

Royal Princess Fans Activity

Have each little princess choose a pretty piece of paper (you can buy nice papers at a craft store, ones that have glitter, or have flowers inside). Then show the kids that when they fold their paper in an accordion style (fold a strip to one side, then to the other, until the whole piece of paper is folded), then fold the whole thing in half, and viola! A beautiful Princess fan for those warm sunny days!
