The first birthday is always special, but whether it is your little one’s first birthday or her fifth, it is completely natural for you to want to make it as fun and exciting as possible. If you are looking for party ideas for your baby girl’s special day, consider hosting a princess-themed birthday party. The best part about this theme is that, even on a budget, you can make the party a magical, enchanting event.

Although there is a plethora of your run-of-the-mill princess products in the market, you can lend the party a personal and creative touch by incorporating some simple DIY. So, here are some tips for hosting a princess-themed party for your little princess:  

1. Create home-made party invitation cards.

Your baby deserves everything royal. And that means that the invitations should also be according to the theme. Cut out some colorful paper in shapes like ball gowns, unicorns and rainbows and use glitter pens and fancy fonts to write the message.

2. Make a princess birthday cake.

What is a princess-themed party without a gorgeous princess cake? You can get a cake from your local bakery or make one at home. We would suggest the latter because it is more personal. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have exceptional baking skills. Bake a vanilla cake sponge cake, and simply cover it in pink buttercream and pink sprinkles. For the finishing touch, top it with some adorable candles.

3. Give your guests DIY party bags.

A princess-themed party calls for party favors fit for the royals. Pack items like tiaras and little hair accessories into some handmade party bags. Dress up plain pink bags with ribbons and printable gift tags to create your cute little party bags.

4. Ask your little guests to come dressed according to the theme.

Now, this doesn’t have to do with organizing the party, but we just had to add it here. How adorable would it be if all the tiny guests attending the party were to come dressed like princes and princesses? You too can dress up your baby in a cute tutu skirt and accessorize with a little tiara.

5. Serve themed food.

One of the most important aspects of hosting a beautiful princess-themed party is serving themed food. Think sandwiches in the shape of crowns, pink drinks, muffins, cake pops and so on. And since most of your guests will likely be babies, you don’t even have to fret about creating a lavish menu.

And don’t forget the most important part, dress up the little princes in the most adorable princess like outfit! To help with your search, you can find handmade tutus for sale at Tutu Joli.
