5 Top tips for Hosting a Princess Party!
Once upon a time… you decided to throw a magical princess party for your little royal, and now you're wondering how to make it truly unforgettable! At Storybook Moments Parties, we've waved our fair share of wands and sprinkled plenty of fairy dust over birthday parties across the Essex & South Suffolk — so we've gathered our top five enchanting tips to help you host a princess party that’s straight out of a storybook.
1. Pick the Perfect Setting for Royal Festivities
Whether you’re hosting in your living room, a village hall, a garden or an enchanted forest (aka your back garden with some bunting!), the most important thing is to create a space where imaginations can soar. Keep a little open area free for dancing, games, and royal ceremonies. And remember — twinkly lights, pastel streamers, and a sprinkle of glitter can go a long way!
2. Plan for a Princess Performer Visit
Inviting a real-life princess to your party is like a dream come true for most little ones — and we're here to make that magic happen! Whether it's teaching ballroom twirls or playing party games, our performers come with stories, dancing and sparkles galore. The best part? We take care of the entertainment while you sit back and enjoy the smiles (and the photos!).
3. Set the Scene with Sparkling Decor
Creating a magical atmosphere is easier than you think! From castle-themed bunting and pastel balloons to glittering tableware and twinkling fairy lights, a few thoughtful touches can completely transform your space. And here's a little secret — when our princesses arrive, they bring their own enchanting soundtrack with them! So you don’t need to worry about music whilst the princess is present — we’ve got the royal playlist covered, perfectly timed to every magical moment.
4. Choose Activities that Keep the Magic Flowing
Our princess parties include everything from sing-alongs to interactive storytelling and magical games, so there’s plenty to keep your guests engaged. But one royal tip from us: bouncy castles can be a bit of a villain in the fairytale. They’re noisy, super distracting, and can make it tricky for little ones to focus on the magical moments we're creating. If you’ve got your heart set on one, we kindly suggest deflating it during the princess’s visit — your performer (and your photos!) will thank you, and the magic will stay strong from start to finish.
5. Encourage Guests to Dress in Their Best Princess Attire
What’s a princess party without a room full of little royals in their finest gowns, capes, and tiaras? To make the day even more special, encourage your guests to come dressed as their favourite princesses, fairies, or knights! This adds an extra layer of fun and gives everyone the chance to feel like they’re part of the enchanted world. After all, every princess needs her court, right?
At Storybook Moments Parties, we believe every child deserves to feel like royalty on their birthday. With a little planning and a dash of pixie dust (and maybe a princess or two!), your party will be a fairytale come to life.
