{I patterned this cake after one I saw on Spoonful. My candies are gumdrops, good n' plenty, heart runts and mini m&m's }
We had a fairytale kingdom party (a princess party with boys and girls both invited!)
Royal announcements went out on invitations that were sealed with wax. They read:
Royal announcements went out on invitations that were sealed with wax. They read:
Hear
Ye, Hear Ye!
All knights and princesses of the land are
invited to a royal celebration in honor of
Her
Royal Highness
Princess
Abigail’s
fifth year since birth
Please
join us for festivities at the Scott castle in the
township of {Insert City} on December 15th, 3:30 p.m. Please let the
Queen Mom know if you will be attending, as she has to prepare the castle for
your arrival.
We
would love you to dress in your princess, prince or knight attire suitable for
the festivities!
We dolled my girls up in Princess clothes. Some others came dressed up and others didn't. It was their choice.
Making
crowns/tiaras and party bags for the pinata as they arrived. I bought the
crowns and jewels from our local hobby/craft store. I also found foam
fairytale stickers and they got to decorate their lunch sacks with stickers and
jewels.
Reading Fairytales to go along with various activities:
Book: The
Princess and the Pea followed by a game where we hid a ball under
three pillows and the guest had to figure out where it was hidden. When
they figured it out, they were given a shield/sword or wand as they had proven
their royalty.
Book: Rumpelstiltskin during which we played hot and
cold to find the objects the princess had to give up (ring, bracelet).
Then they played hot and cold to find the gold that had been spun (a basket of
gold coin candy).
Book: The
Paper Bag Princess. After which we played Dragon, Dragon,
Princess (Duck, Duck, Goose).
Book: The
Frog Prince done as a puppet show for the party guests. Then we
played “Pin the kiss on the frog”
Book: Cinderella(I didn’t actually read
this one, but referred to it) – we had a celebration ball. I played Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, I
Just Can't Wait To Be King, Arabian
Nights, Some
Day My Prince Will Come, etc. When the music stopped,
the kids went to one of four flags. Then I would call out a color and the
kids at that flag got a prize.
Celebration Feast – everything was decorated on the table with a silver table cloth, gold platewear, gold tull and ribbon, silver/gold hershey kisses, silver/gold confetti. I served grapes and clementines, starfruit juice and cake/icecream. The cake was the shape of a castle. When the kids seemed done, I said a dragon had snuck into the castle and had them search for it.
Then they all took turns hitting it and got candy. Finally we had presents and gave a little favor as they gave her a present. The favor had a homemade coloring book of fairytale pictures, crayons, fairytale foam stickers, princess fruit snacks, candy necklace and ring pop.
