Serve a healthy snack like fruit skewers at your princess-themed birthday party.
Fruit skewers are an ideal snack for a princess-theme birthday party, because they add both a healthy option as well as a decorative one to your party table. You can display your fruit skewers flat on a tray, or vertically in a pitcher or bowl. Either method will keep your fruit from getting squashed, and make it easy for your guests to select a skewer. Before you display your fruit skewers, sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent browning of the fruit and keep it looking fresh. Does this Spark an idea?
Pumpkins, Large and Small
Display your fruit skewers in a tempting spray using a pair of pumpkins. Drill holes in a large, basketball-sized pumpkins, and insert the ends of the fruit skewers to display. You can hollow out a small, softball-sized pumpkin and use it to hold strawberry or vanilla yogurt for dipping.
Princess Platter
Purchase a princess-theme platter, or make your own serving plate, and heap the skewers on top. If you are making your own, you can decoupage the back of a plain glass platter, allowing the design to show through the clear glass but not touch the fruit. You can purchase princess-themed platters at "big box" and party stores. Add a dip or two in cut crystal stemware to bring a touch of sparkle to your table.
Flower Vase
Arrange your skewers vertically in a crystal flower vase--this pretty bouquet is sure to draw everyone to the table. Follow the "princess" theme and put out faux crystal plates and slippers to accent the fruit and watch the skewers disappear. Serve dips or accompaniments in smaller dishes to accent your display.
