For the Fairy Princess in All of Us
What gal doesn't remember the glimmer of fantasy we'd get when a fairy tale was read to us? It's the magic, the fabulousness of it all that makes the idea so appealing. This party should be a celebration of the inner princess in all of us. This party can be thrown for adult and child girls alike (or even together, for moms and daughters). It's a darling diva do!
Encourage your gals to get all gussied up. This is about the fun and the fascination, remember! For adult princesses, this is the perfect opportunity to pull out the foofiest, girliest gowns from proms, balls, and bridesmaids' duties past. What better use could you possibly have for these gems? Little girls can bring out inexpensive dress-up costumes, pull-on tutus, or old holiday dresses. Take the fashion over the top with tiaras, ribbon and floral head crowns, princess hats, and fairy wings.
