Plan An Enchanted Birthday Party

Little girls that believe in the magic of fairies will enjoy a birthday celebration centered around this timeless theme. The details of this party plan are designed for younger girls between the ages of four and seven. A little creativity can be used to adapt the party to include boys if necessary or older children. This party plan is designed for a moderate budget.

Invitations should be mailed approximately two weeks before the party. Stationary with a garden theme, butterflies, or fairies can be used to print your own invitations. Colorful pastel envelopes can be used to enclose the printed invites. Use fairy stickers to seal the envelopes. Don't forget to enclose a bit of fairy dust (glitter) inside the envelope so guests will have a preview of the magical celebration that awaits them. Consider inviting birthday guests to come dressed as their favorite fairy. Remind the birthday girl to place an invitation outdoors around a tree or flower garden to invite real fairies to the party. After all, there is nothing sprites enjoy more than a festive celebration.

Decorations for the party can include a variety of items. White twinkling Christmas lights draped in bushes, trees, and doorways resemble starlight even in the daytime. Fresh flowers add a fresh fairy inspired touch to tabletops. Silk flower garlands can be used in doorways and as an accent to a covered tabletop. Glitter or confetti stars on tabletops add sparkle to the festivities. Pastel balloons, streamers, and oversized silk butterflies can also be used to decorate. Lavender tulle and flower garland can be used to adorn a special chair for the birthday fairy. Consider setting up a special area indoors or outdoors for photo purposes. Resin garden statues of fairies, elves, gnomes, mushrooms, and frogs can be used in this space. If you are artistic or have a friend who can paint, an enchanted mural can be used as a backdrop for the photo area. Don't forget to select music for the party as you are decorating. Celtic music is a good choice for a fairy-themed party because many of the fairy legends originate from Celtic origins.
