How to Host a Princess Picnic

What little girl doesn't love the Disney princesses?   Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Ariel are the most popular princesses because they are kind, beautiful and loving.  Most little girls can identify with them and look up to them as role models.  From backpacks to clothing, to Disney vacations, princesses are the most popular industry for children young and old alike.  Because they are so popular, many children will want to have a themed princess party.  To make your party easy and unique, you may want to host a picnic.

Picnics can be at a local park, in your back yard, or at the beach.  Many local parks have pavilions that they reserve for occasions such as reunions or parties.  Most times, these reservations are free or require a nominal deposit that is returned when cleaned.  If your party is going to be a family affair with lots of attendants, a park would be the perfect locations.

If your princess party is going to be more intimate, with just a few friends, then a backyard picnic spread would be perfect!  Spread out a blanket on the grass, hand out special finger foods, snacks, and cupcakes and you have the perfect party, with virtually no cleanup.

The beach is another fabulous location for a princess picnic because who doesn't love sand and swimming.  Make sure to remind guests to come with sunscreen on.  You could serve fish and chips on princess plates to make the beach experience authentic.

Make sure to send out invitations at least 2 weeks in advance and invite guests to wear their favorite princess dress up costume or princess outfit for the special day.  If they don't have a princess dress to wear, they could wear a sundress or fancy dress that they already have.

Little Adventures has a line of Adult costumes that you could use for a birthday party and could double as a Halloween costume.

To end the party, make sure you send each girl home with a princess favor.  Favors are the perfect way to say thank you for coming to the party and for the gift they gave your daughter.  Children love to take little trinkets home.  You could have a small favor bag for each child where you may include items like the following:  princess candy in the shape of a crown, tiaras, wands, crayons and a coloring page, princess gloves, and if budget allows, maybe a princess costume with a matching doll dress.
