How to Host a Christmas Princess Birthday Party
Does your little princess have a birthday during the Christmas season? Throwing a princess-themed Christmas birthday party gives you three areas to draw from, which makes planning the party a breeze.
For invitations, you have two options: you can either use a Disney princess or other princess themed invitation, or you can use Christmas cards. See what your daughter thinks is the best option, and enlist her help in decorating the cards. She can help decorate them with glitter and glue.
Christmas décor will work great for this type of birthday party. Put up a few extra strands of Christmas lights, and keep the holly and bows around. Draw from the Disney princess themes and use it to add to, not replace, the Christmas décor. Put up a few posters of Disney princesses, and add a little holly to them. Frame a nice picture of your daughter in her Cinderella dress in front of the Christmas tree. Try to stick with the holiday colors of red, white, green, silver, and gold. Since the Christmas décor is already up, you won’t need much to decorate the house.
Instead of having a cake, try having a tea party! Let the girls frost small sugar cookies, and gather small pretty candies and let them decorate them. Place the cookies on dainty plates with small pieces of cut up fruit and serve with punch in long-stemmed glasses. If you want to go the extra mile, purchase an inexpensive pair of white gloves for each girl to wear. Wearing gloves while eating makes every little girl feel like a princess. If you have them available, put sparklers on the birthday girl’s cookies for birthday candles. Don’t forget to take pictures!
For the activities, start with playing dress up. It may help if you borrow extra Disney princess dress up clothes from your daughter’s friends before the party. Let the girls take turns in the Cinderella costumes and Disney princess costumes, taking pictures as they model. Turn on some holiday music and let the girls have fun. Playing dress up will probably use the majority of the party time.
Beeswax candles are simple to make, and are special both to the holiday season and to princesses. Purchase sheets of beeswax in a neutral white color, and then buy a few red and green sheets as well. You will also need wicks as well. To make the candles, snip the wick and have the girls wrap the beeswax around it. One visually appealing way to make the candles is to wrap the white beeswax around the wick, and then cut a slightly thinner strip red and wrap it around. Put a thinner layer of green or white on top of that, and so forth. Girls can even make their candles look like candy canes if they’d like! This is a great craft for princesses since it is very easy and has little to no mess involved (we need to keep those Cinderella dresses clean!)
Since the Christmas season is a very consuming, with a schedule of gifts and celebrations, and you’ll want to make sure your daughter’s birthday is something to remember. Make sure she knows that on her birthday she is getting celebrated, not just as part of the Christmas season. Getting her involved in the birthday party planning will help you both create a memorable day for her.
