This is what Justine said about planning the party- “I recently styled my daughter’s first birthday which was held overseas whilst we were on vacation visiting the grandparents. I’d like to share how and what I did to design the party with the limited resources that I had with me as I was in a different country.

As my daughter was born just 4 days before my husband’s birthday, we took her home from the hospital for the first time on his birthday so when we were deciding on a theme for her first birthday we both knew that “Daddy’s Little Princess” was the way to go.

Styling in a different country was like working with a blank canvas as I had limited resources and contacts. However, I was inspired by my daughter’s ruffle tutu gown to create a special tutu-like princess dessert table. I designed a trestle cover that was made out of multiple layers of tulle which was then custom made by a local seamstress.

Party printables were custom designed by Mon Tresor, and the backdrop was designed by myself. I custom made princess party hats that were embelished with lace and princess veils, converted from regular dollar shop party hats. I also hand made princess tutu cupcake toppers from crepe paper which were sewn together and affixed to pink paper straws.

Accompanying the beautiful ruffle ombre crown topper cake were delicious desserts like Sparkle Fairy Cookie Pops, Crown Cookies with little Princesses names, Pink Macarons, Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Yogurt Mousse and Vanilla Cupcakes.  Also, there was a gorgeous display of pink and white colored candy in apothecary jars embellished with a variety of my daughter’s gorgeous headbands.  Mini “milk bottles” were converted from juice bottles from a local supermarket.

Other details included pre-wrapped tulle almond candy packs for guests who left early before the candy bar was open, a “Cinderella’s Feet” impressions kit activity for my daughter’s little guests to take part in as they are all still very young which also worked as a keepsake from the party. Each girl went home with a personalised princess story book featuring their names as well as my daughter’s name in the story line. A polaroid booth was also setup for all the guests as well as take-home candy bags for all who came to celebrate this special day. The kid’s table was decorated with tutu chair covers which also doubled up as a take home gift for the older girls.”

Here’s what Mindy had to say about planning this party- “My 3 year old daughter is such a girly girl who loves to wear dresses, sing and dance around, pretend to do makeup, carry purses, wear jewelry and of course she loves princesses. So, what was more fitting than a Pink Princess Ballerina Birthday Party full of sparkle and glitter??

The party took place at our local dance studio where the invitation and my daughter’s party outfit set the theme for the rest of the decorations. It was all about pink, sparkle, glitter, stars, tulle and of course being princesses and ballerinas!

At each place setting, the 3-5 year olds were served star shaped sandwiches, a fruit cup, pink popcorn, pink M&Ms and pink velvet cupcakes. All the girls had so much fun!”

Whimsical Princess 3rd Birthday Party

This darling WHIMSICAL PRINCESS THIRD BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Kameron Scampoli of My Wrinkle in Time! I just love the soft colors and the whole set up. Take a look at that adorable princess castle cake! So many fabulous ideas here…

Kameron said this about planning the party- “My daughter had been asking for a Princess party with a castle cake for 7 months so I knew she meant business! I didn’t want to go too literal with characters all over the place so I tried to make it as whimsical and fairytale as I could. I crafted most of the setup myself and had fun re-purposing items to make them worthy of a Princess!”

Once Upon a Time 2nd Birthday Party

This precious ONCE UPON A TIME SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Nikka Morell of Triple M Good Parties. Oh my goodness, what an adorable party! Everything is exquisite! There are so many beautiful ideas here.

Nikka said this about planning the party- “I created this adorable Once Upon A Time 2nd birthday for a girlfriend’s daughter. She didn’t want the party to focus on one princess, but instead focus on the magical feel of being a princess. I put a vintage touch to the party by using silver and gold glitter where ever I could. The lace and the rose cake made the party feel soft sweet and ohh so girly!”

Pink Princess Cinderella Birthday Party

This fabulous PINK PRINCESS CINDERELLA BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Lindsay Palmer of Lindsay Palmer Photography is just full of ideas! Take a look at that pillow / crown birthday cake! Wow!

Lindsay said- “My very best friend and I threw a Princess Party for our sweet little girls who are one year and 3 days apart. We did all the crafting and decorating ourselves. We needed an excuse to have “craft night” ;)

We had painted magic pumpkins; crowns; centre pieces; diamond cutlery; pink lemonade in mason jars with homemade candy wands as favours and two Princess Crowns on two Pillow cakes. (Those were homemade as well).

Cinderella joined the party and sang songs, did all the little princesses makeup and read them stories. Basically, it was the best day of their lives ;).”
