Fairy Birthday Party Theme Ideas for Girls

Before you get started planning a fairy-themed birthday party, find out which fairy is your daughter's favorite, then create the party theme around that fairy. For example, if your little girl loves Tinkerbell the most, you could plan the birthday party using colors of green, blue and yellow. You can use a fairy clip art image from the Clker.com website to create fairy-themed birthday party invitations on your computer.

If you've chosen a Tinkerbell fairy theme, you can purchase the invitations and party supplies from your local party store. Otherwise, you can save money by purchasing decorative streamers, balloons, paper plates, paper cups and plastic flatware in your daughter's favorite fairy colors. Make or buy a birthday cake in the shape of fairy wings or with your little girl's favorite fairy on top. Create a fairyland by decorating your home with silk flowers in pastel colors and plenty of silk greenery. Ask the birthday party guests to arrive dressed as fairies. Provide inexpensive homemade sparkly magic wands or fairy wings as birthday party favors. For a party game, hold a fairy treasure hunt in which the birthday party guests must find nature-themed or magical items around the house and yard.

Princess Birthday Party Theme Ideas for Girls

Party stores also have an abundance of princess-themed birthday party decorations and supplies. Bright and metallic colors such as pink, purple, blue, yellow, red, silver and gold work well for a princess-themed birthday party for girls.

Have a picture of your little girl's favorite princess printed on her cake. Make homemade wire and bead tiaras to give out as favors to the birthday party guests. Alternatively, you could make simpler princess tiaras from cardboard, aluminum foil and plastic jewels. For princess-themed party games, you could play "Pin the Kiss on the Frog Prince." Just print out a picture of a frog, have it laminated and attach it to a wall. Then cut out some red construction paper in the shape of lips, and laminate that as well. Place a bit of box tape on the back of the lips so it can stick to the frog. You could also play "Princess Dress-Up" by providing pretty dresses, shoes, tiaras and costume jewelry for the girls to try on.
