Setup & Cost of a Royal Party!

My Evee is very much a PRINCESS and when prepping her big ole 4-year-old bash...it had to involve some kind of princess! Instead of just 1 princess theme, we went with a WHOLE slew of princesses...and ACADEMY of Princesses...A Royal Preparation Academy! She loved it!

The announcement idea I got from the proclamation from the King in Cinderella, I enjoyed making this invitation! With some online free scrapbook paper, a carriage image & BOOM! awesome invite!

(Cost: designed at home - Free, Printing for 20 invites = $4 @ walmart)

Then comes the decorations: a few princess caps, a crown, some accordion pin wheel/rosettes & Tissue Paper Pompoms!

Here is where I found my DIYs for the

Accordion Rosettes

& the

Tissue Paper pompoms

(Cost: Using tissue paper from received gifts, old construction paper for rosettes = FREE)

I borrowed some awesome curtains that made a great backdrop for my photobooth area! Added those pompoms & accordion rosettes with safety pins and staples to make a fun whimsical area.

I am not a cake maker, but luckily I know a great person who is. I made 2 sets of round cakes, then iced them in a thicker buttercream frosting. Adding a million sugar pearls, made a lovely design. The crown we shaped out of a waffle bowl and frosted that too. It was quite yummy!

(Cost: 2 box cake, food coloring, homemade frosting - all items from pantry = FREE)

More decor was also game decor. I enjoyed drawing this Prince Naveen! I wanted to have many pieces from many princess stories.

(Cost: Poster : $.33, crayons - Free)

Of course the Pinata had to be Maleficent the Dragon!
