dd is 5 next month and wanted a princess party, have extended to a few boys so will be princes too
would appreciate advise or criticism on the following ideas
i have put fancy dress on the invite but thought we would also have cardboard crowns out for decorating? Any other ideas for a carft/sit down activity? I dont want to do cakes again since I dont think these really get eaten after. Someone suggested pich tea bscuits recorating but think these might be siilarly unpopular after the event?
I have got a pin the tail on the donkey (will make him into the royal steed with some tin foil!)
have got plastic gold coins for a kinds treasure hunt
will also do a pass the parcel - not sure how to/whether to make this royal themed?
is this enough games? it is a 2 hour party including lunch/cake etc
for food i have got silver platters and plates, my nan has a silver cake stand I can borrow and I have those little plastic wine glasses which I am planning to decorate.
Any other ideas?
Oh and for party bags I am going for simple, bottle of bubbles, a craft set from wilkos, tiny packet of sweets and bit of cake, may tie balloons to handles.
everything i see in shops is very pink and princessey and I want to avoid that and make it more unisex since there will be both boys and girls.
