Prince and princesses party

[mumsfrazzled]

My DS 5 has been invited to a prince and princess party. Just need to some ideas on how to get him looking like a prince without spending too much, also would it be acceptable to go as a Knight. Any other ideas welcome.

I think a Knight's costume is absolutely fine.

If you were to send him as a Prince I think he might wear a tabard (simple plastic one or decorated pillowcase with belt) plus a cloak of some sort and a crown (gold cardboard).

But Knight would be great and a bit different, I imagine the theme is more "fairytale" hence Knights etc, than strictly Prince/Princess only but it's harder to define fairytale.

I think a knight is fine.

Platic sword and a cardboard crown. Bob's your uncle.

I agree with the Knights. I take it the birthday child is a girl? I would guess the princes are there to placate the boys, and so it's fine to go as a knight.

DS2 got a tabard when he was a knight - his brother's white T shirt with the sleeves cut off and a shield shape from two colours stuck on with the iron-on sticky stuff. Shield and sword of cardboard if you are arty.

We offer prince and priness parties and knights are included in the storyline.

Thanks for the replies everyone knight it is.
