Some of the best elements of this Snow White birthday party are:
The cupcakes topped with fondant birds, ribbons, and apples
The paper pinwheels in coordinating colors
The “mirror” chocolate pop party favors
and MORE!
Here’s what Roberta said about the party- “This was Isabela´s 3rd birthday party. Snow White is her favorite Princess! Her mommy asked us to create a party that her little princess would never forget! So we did and Isabela loved it!!”

Here’s what Anfal had to say about planning the party- “The inspiration for my daughter Zaina’s 4th Birthday was my husband’s vintage car along with the fact that Zaina wanted to be a princess that day. I mixed those two elements and came up with a pretty vintage princess party theme!
We invited around 25 girls between the ages of 2-8. I wanted the party to be so girly so I used a lot of bird cages, flowers, lace and ruffles in pastel colors. Vintage lights and balloons were also used for decorating the party venue.
There were several activities during the party:
1. A dress up area and a photo booth that we called ‘The Royal Photo Booth’ where the little girls would dress up in feathers, princess tiaras, jewelry and wands in addition to other props and signs. The photo booth was set by a local company called Bonker Box.
2. Create your own princess frame workshop. Each girl was given a ceramic tile of a princess with a variety of paints and glitter glues. Each girl would decorate her own princess tile and frame and take it home as a gift.
3. Face painting; My daughter and her friends were enchanted when they got their faces painted with their favorite characters and beautiful fairytale designs and stick-on jewels.
4. “A princess tattoo parlor” where girls got their temporary glitter tattoos on their hands and bodies.
5. Princess and the pea puppet show; this was the main event and it was performed by Puppet Kingdom from Kuwait.
While the girls were enjoying the birthday activities, a DJ was playing kids music in the background and the moms were comfortably seated around the activity stations and were served throughout the party with vintage-inspired food on passing trays.
The menu included:
1. Tiny tomato soup shots topped with mini cheese sammies
2. Date salad and strawberry salad in mini cups
3. Portobello mushroom pizzas in mini plates
4. French fries dipped in home-made ketchup in shot glasses
5. Roasted cherry tomato and cheese skewers
6. Pumpkin seed tartlets in mini plates
7. Grilled polenta topped with muhammara
8. Macaroni and cheese in mini glass jars
As for the little girls, each was given a vintage looking meal box with chicken nuggets and french fries inside along with home-made ketchup and orange juice.
For the dessert table, we used vintage metal cake stands and plates to display the desserts and the dessert menu included:
1. Flower mini cupcakes
2. Lace butter biscuits
3. Bird cage sugar cookies
4. Ruffles and lace cake pops
5. Rice crispy pops
6. Strawberry trifle jars
7. Mommy’s ruffle cake (chocolate flavor)
8. Shabby chic princess birthday cake (red velvet, rose water and vanilla ombre cake from the inside)
9. Salted pecan turtles in cones
10. Meringues
11. Pistachio pie
12. Mini pecan bites
13. Jars filled with candies
14. Drinks (mint water, strawberry water, pomegranate and apple juice)
I have to mention that we also set a beautiful white tent in the garden and decorated it with lanterns, cushions and hanging tissue pompoms and we called it ‘the princess hangout area’ the girls enjoyed watching the puppet show while seated inside this beautiful tent.
We also placed a big cabinet right next to the dessert table and we called it ‘the magical cabinet’ it was filled with gifts for the girls and their moms. Each girl got a gift bag filled with makeup, glitter nail polish, hair accessories and bangles and were wrapped with a beautiful lace ribbon. They also got a vintage mini gum ball machine. The moms were not forgotten, each got a mini cake as well as a shabby chic gift box with chocolate bites inside.”

I usually have a few months to plan…that way I can collect items that I like and not have to spend a ton at once. For this party…that wasn’t the case. My sister-in-law didn’t want to make me do anything for my niece’s party because she knows how busy I am, but it just so happened that I was designing a princess printable set and she was planning to make a Rapunzel cake…so we definitely had to collaborate for another fantastic party! Also, we didn’t want to spend a lot of money, so I came up with the idea to have a ‘Princess Printable Party!’
My sister-in-law made the Red Velvet Cake with REAL Red Velvet icing (contrary to popular belief, it is NOT cream cheese icing). It looked so cute with the Rapunzel printable cut out!
I created 6 different princesses for this set: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty (from Beauty and the Beast), Frog Princess, Rapunzel, and Cinderella. This party is seriously a great idea for little girls. I created necklaces, bracelets, wands and crowns using my Fairy Tale Princess Printables…and they’re so fun! We also made tutus for the girls and they obviously had a BLAST pretending to be princesses.”

When I asked her what type of Birthday party she wanted, all she kept saying is ‘A Rapunzel party and I want Flynn Rider to come too!’ I was thinking to myself, how in the world can I pull this off with out it looking like a cheesy themed party? And where in the world can I find a real Rapunzel and Flynn?
Well, I did it! I did some research and there is a company in my hometown called Forever After Parties! Amazing, I tell ya! They have just about every Disney princess and character out there! And the greatest part of all is that the majority of the characters are music theater majors or graduates of college and they have amazing voices and can act the part amazingly well! They just made the party!!!! The kids were in AWE, as were the parents, especially the moment Rapunzel and Flynn started to sing ‘At last I see the Light’. I am not going to lie…. It seriously brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful!
For the decorations, I knew I didn’t want bright purple and yellows so I was on a mission to find something more feminine and girly. I searched and searched! I found an amazing company that did the printables called Pepper Avenue by Jocelyn Pullen! Jocelyn was such a joy to work with! I also wanted to incorporate painting since my daughter loves to paint and so does Rapunzel. I set up art tables and brought the outdoors in by using tree stumps as the chairs. Each child then had a canvas and paints to use. I also asked a friend of mine, Kasey, to make a custom tablecloth which tied everything together.
I put party favors together in mini paint tins. There were little candies, paints, chalk and stickers! My main goal as a party planner is to do a party that will be fun for all of the kids, not just for the birthday girl or boy. So I like for the guests to leave with gifts of their own. Each child got to keep their paint tin with goodies and their canvas that they painted. They also each got a monogrammed art apron, personalized with their name! I love it when the kids leave smiling!”
All little girls just love playing dress up…so how fun would a party centered around everything to do with “dressing up” be?! This adorable DRESS UP THEMED 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Jennifer Needham of Double the Fun Parties. I know you will definitely enjoy seeing this one…all the ideas are too cute!
Jennifer said this about planning the party- ”When my two girls turned four, they wanted two different birthday parties. I split the difference by creating a dress-up party, so each girl could dress in the theme of her choice. Their friends came in costumes, and wore ours, adding loads of jewelry. It was a blast, so I’ve re-created the party to share it with you. You can purchase a Dress-Up Party Plan or Dress-Up Party Kit from my Etsy shop.
Call it a dress-up party, call it a princess party (because this is a great way to have a princess party that’s not character-driven), call it a fashion party — I promise your birthday girl and her guests will be giggling for hours.
I started with the party space, the eclectic and wonderful Salon Bastille. The salon is done in turquoise with pops of pink and yellow — a color palette I couldn’t resist. (HUGE thanks to Ashley for loaning me your space!)
Printables
Heather of Chickabug custom-designed all the printables for this party! It was so much fun working with Heather and I love what she created. You can find the printables through her shop. Heather had the best ideas and added so much to this party! Here is what I love about working with Heather: I ask for a bottle label, and this is what she sends me back — it’s so clever that Heather designed a Food Facts label! She goes above and beyond and every surprise was a wonderful one.
Dessert Table
I set up our dessert table in the center of the salon on a round table. The table was draped in a fuchsia pintuck tablecloth. Behind the table, I set up a folding screen as our backdrop. The dressing screen was in keeping with our dress-up theme and held the birthday girl’s initial in pink, glittery fabulousnesses.
I choose desserts that were pink and had fashion or jewelry inspiration. Our cake was a vanilla ruffle cake, which I selected because the ruffle reminded me of dressmaker details. Budget tip: If your Target has a bakery, take them a photo of my cake and ask them if they can recreate it. My Target charged me $18 for this three-layer cake. I topped the cake with a wooden doll made to look like the birthday girl. Find the cake toppers at Sweetie Pie Cake Topper.
Chocolate cupcakes with the same pink frosting as the cake were topped with custom designed 3D fondant toppers from Edible Details. Little shoes, purses, and pearls – so cute! I stacked two cake stands to create a cupcake stand, and sadly it wasn’t tall enough to accommodate all of Brittany’s amazing toppers. Each purse and pair of shoes was different and stunning. I’ve kept them all. I’m thinking of putting them in a shadow box in my imaginary dream office.
Cookie pops were made to match our invitation by Sweet Goosie Girl who seems to be able to design anything and never disappoint. These cookies just took my breath away. And cookies on a stick are just more fun.
Our other sweet treats included:
• White chocolate covered Oreos drizzled with pink chocolate from Sweet Tooth Sweetie.
• Chocolate buttons and corset lollipops from The Frosted Petticoat.
• Sugar jewels from Candied Cakes.
• Ring pops.
• Candy bracelets.
• Pink and blue candy sticks.
Dining/Activity Table
In the lobby of the salon, I created a dining/activity table at a coffee table. The girls sat on floor pillows. From a turquoise chandelier above the table, I hung pink tissue poms. Our centerpiece was a pink, dress form-style jewelry holder that displayed one of our finished craft projects. And I couldn’t resist adding a “Tiffany” box with a bling ring to each place setting.
Jewelry/Craft Station
I had five activities planned for this party:
1. Dress up in costumes and accessories
2. Have a fashion show
3. Make tulle roll “dresses”
4. Bead “bubblegum” necklaces
5. Make sugar hand scrub
All the components needed for these activities and crafts were housed in a metal cabinet. I lined the shelves with the same pink paper place mats used on the dining table. From the cabinet doors, I draped pink and turquoise bead garland.
In the Jewelry Station, I purchased an open frame and added black foam core, then pinned gloves to the board. We also had necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and feather hair clips. The rings were displayed on white mini mirrors. On either side of the cabinet were clothes trees that held our dresses and feather boas. For the birthday girl, we had a special pink beaded crown.
In the Craft Station, we had the tulle dress, necklace, and sugar hand scrub supplies.
Our Fashion Show …
Each girl could change costumes and accessories as much as they liked. They took turns walking our Pink Carpet.
Dress Making …
If you’ve ever made a toilet paper wedding gown at a bridal shower, you understand how to play this game. I used shades of pink tulle to make things easier for little hands.
Necklace Making …
I asked Daizy Bugz to design a necklace for this party. Each girl had her own necklace craft kit in our party colors.
Favors
At end of our party, each girl received a costume award. These were all non-competitive awards, like “Most Layers” or “Pinkest.” I made these by altering inexpensive award ribbons from WalMart and adding a Chickabug printable circle. I also made purses from dollar store bags, a silk flower, and a Chickabug thank you tag. The girls used the purses to take home their favors.
I hope you like the party! If you’d like to recreate this for you daughter, please consider my easy-peasy Dress-Up Party Plan.”
