\nand they will tell you – little girls bring a magic all their own. With tiaras,
\npink gowns, and plastic high heels lining just about every store; it’s no surprise
\nthat so many little girls request a princess themed birthday. So how does a mom
\ncreate a one-of-a-kind event, with a party theme every girl at the elementary has
\ndone already? Just ask our party specialist, Loralee Lewis. Here are her top five
\ntricks to taking an ordinary princess themed birthday to extraordinary.<\/p>\n
\nthe best source of inspiration isn’t going to be on the latest party blog. The best
\ninspiration is sitting at your kitchen table! Tap your princess’ imagination! Involve
\nyour daughter in all the planning. Ask her what games she would love to play and
\nfigure out a simple way of implementing them. If she mentions that she would love
\nto fly on a magic carpet like Jasmine, gather up all the bathroom rugs and have
\nher guests “fly around the world” with their eyes closed as you recite what they
\nare seeing in France, China, and Belgium! The most creative inspiration frequently
\noriginates from a child. 2) Personalize her party. Ask yourself, what princess story
\nbest represents my daughter? With seemingly hundreds of princess characters to pick
\nfrom, you and your daughter can be choosy as to what kind of party you are going
\nto create. If your little girl adores shoes and little mice, maybe a Cinderella
\ntheme would be the best fit! Does your daughter have a strong sense adventure and
\nloves swimming? Perhaps, a Little Mermaid party would fit her personality. Does
\nshe love animals and hiking outdoors? Pocahontas may be the unique princess theme
\nyou are looking for. Don’t be afraid of choosing a theme that isn’t all ball gowns
\nand glass slippers. The most important thing is that it is 100% her! 3) Mix &
\nMatch Princess Stories. After you figure out what main princess theme you are going
\nto run with, be aware that you don’t have to be 100% loyal to it. Little girls’
\nimaginations are bigger than the fairy tales they can recite from heart. If your
\ndaughter is 100% sold on a Sleeping Beauty party, but also adores Cinderella slippers,
\nthere is no need to choose between the two. She can dress up as Aurora and you can
\nstill have the Fairy Godmother turn her little brother into a coachman. 4) Bow to
\nthe Princesses. Let your princess reign over the day. Use a blanket, sidewalk chalk,
\nor baker’s paper to make a red carpet. Get a man or brother in her life to make
\na humble appearance as a servant. Encourage her to wear all the bling she wants.
\nMake a carriage from a wagon to transport the princesses between stations or activities.
\n5) You Don’t Have to be Stuffy. Sometimes the best part of being a princess is not
\nhaving to act like one! Feel free to let her and friends jump on the trampoline
\nor do some fun face paint. Don’t feel bad if all they want to do is take off the
\ntiara and ditch the shoes with the bling. Depending on the ages of the girls, you
\nmay only get them to wear what they’re supposed to for a few minutes, so take the
\nphotos early!<\/p>\n
