Have a royal birthday celebration coming and can't find your fairy godmother? Luckily all you really need to transform your home into a castle is some good old-fashioned creativity and advanced planning. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Write out your invitations on parchment paper inviting guests to a royal birthday party. Then roll them into a scroll secured with ribbon and hand deliver to the guests.
2. Lay red carpet up the walkway leading to the front door to give the royal treatment to arriving guests. Use cardboard appliance boxes to create a princess castle by painting grey bricks and turrets on them and placing on the porch.
3. Hang clusters of pink and purple balloons from the ceilings to create your ballroom. If there is a doorway entering the room, make a curtain out of crepe streamers for the party guests to walk through.
4. Provide plain pink party hats to the guests as they arrive and invite them to decorate them with glitter glue. Once they're dry, attach a trail of long ribbons onto them so that each princess has a party favor to take home.
5. Form sugar cookie dough into crown shapes and bake ahead of time instead of a birthday cake. Then let each guest decorate her own with different colors of icing and sprinkles. When they're ready to eat them, serve with pink lemonade poured into plastic wine goblets.
6. Play pass the teapot by having the guests sit in a circle and pass a teapot filled with candy while music plays. When the music stops, whoever is holding the teapot takes a piece of candy from it and is then out of the game. The music and passing resumes and the last princess to be eliminated gets to keep the teapot and any remaining candy.
7. Transform two kitchen chairs into thrones by decorating them with ribbons and purple cushions. Have the birthday princess sit in one and select a gift to open. The guest that brought that gift joins the princess in the other chair. After the gift is opened, the guest is given a party favor such as a scepter or bag of gold covered chocolate coins, and then they return to their seat. This continues until all gifts are opened.
