Planning for a Princess is hard work!
Alexa has dreamed about having this Princess party since last year! Finally I will be able to make all these “plans” happen.
We are going to have a “costume” party so each girl will come dressed in Princess attire! They will decorate crowns, make jewelry, and decorate their own jewelry boxes!
They will then feast on a Castle cake, have a pinata, and some ice cream.
Birthday’s in my house are HUGE!
Especially Alexa’s!
EVERY year I ball my eye’s out when we sing happy birthday to her! I think because since I was pregnant I was always fighting for her-to be here-alive and well. Each year Im thankful for her, and am so emotional.
She amazes me with what she overcomes every year, and that little feeling that we are never guaranteed NEXT year -wth anyone- always hits.
She is a fighter-always has been. I cannot believe all she has done in her little 8 years of life. What she has taught me, and changed in me as a mother and person.
I am so thankful to have her-another year.
So back to the big bash!
We are of course going with the Princess theme. My thought for the invites was like a scroll-you know like one you would get a long time ago for a invite to the ball.
Well, as suggested, I had to incorporate Alexa’s set-so came up with this idea. Remember the key being simple! These only took me 1 hour!!!!! Not including drying time for the stickles!
The invite inforamtion is printed on computer paper, rolled up, and placed through a cardstock “holder” I designed, so they stand, and wont get squished.
I also thought it would be better than just tying with some ribbon. Think getting sent home in a childs backpack! Oh the horror! So I wanted pretty and detailed but not so much so that when these are trashed I wont want to cry!
Alexa LOVES pink, and chose Pixie Pink for the colors.
I used stickles on the dress, and star adhesive Rhinestones (from A Muse) for her “crown”.
The invite reads the following-
Her Royal Majesty Alexa is turning 8!
In honor of this event we will be hosting
a costume celebration!
The Honor of your presence is requested
On Sunday September 30th from 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Her royal court will gather, in their best Princess Attire
at (my address).
The festivities will include the decoration
of royal crowns, jewelry, and of course jewelry boxes.
This will be followed by a royal feast of cake and ice cream.
It is asked that you reply by September 21st
at (my phone #)
Her majesty hopes to see you there.

Beautiful invites for a beautiful girl! Happy planning….looks like a lot of girlie fun!
It looks as though her royal majesty is just about ready for the party. Lovely royal hat. I hope that every little girl will come. You can always call the PSF’s and we will show up.
Oh My Word!! These are so perfect! I can’t wait until Kennedy is older to case these! I’ll be crossing my fingers that lots of girls come and that it will be such a wonderful party!
How sweet and what fun! A princess party and the little scrolls are just too stinkin’ cute!
How adorable. A perfect party…and the theme is every little girls dream I’m sure.
Her royal majesty is so lucky to have a creative mom to do such great work.
She should receive my package just in time then for her big day:)
I’ll be thinking of her on Sept 30th while she’s definitely partying it up!
Have a great night.
Her Royal Majesty is going to have a blast at her birthday party. What a great party theme and the invitations are magnificant…okay, I just sent out e-mail invites to 2 friends for my son’s birthday sleepover, I’m feeling pathetic now 😉
so cool. what a neat idea.
Love it! I hope that everyone comes. It’s always hard when you make new friends at school. Birthdays early in the year can be just as hard as those summer birthdays…ugh! Your invites look awesome! She looks like a real princess in her hat!
What a fabulous idea, the invitations are gorgeous! What a special day it is going to be.
You did such a wonderful job on the invites…and I love how they stand up! I’m sure the princess party will be a huge hit!
Can I come??? Seriously, this is SURE to be the event of the season – better than the Royal Ball, even! Of course, you have outdone yourself and set the bar WAY high for all of the other mothers and birthday parties in this classroom. Great job, Lauren!
They came out great!!! Great job!
Hear Ye..Hear Ye….I do Delcare that these invitations are totally cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!! Her Royal Majesty and her Royal Court Shalt have so much fun!!!!
Great Job on on the invites…I hope everyone comes, the party is going to be AWESOME…I think Alexa may just be the most popular girl in school after this fantastic bash 🙂
These are AWESOME Lauren, and how perfect! Sounds like her party will be wonderful, and that she will have a great time, can’t wait to see a Smilebox of the day! 😉
What a fabulous time 🙂
These are too precious! The standing holder is genious. Hope the girls have fun.
Dang! GREAT holder, fabulous invites — so well thought out! You are wonderful and amazing — as a Mom, and as a Designer.
Thanks so much for your blogging, on top of it all!
Aahhhhh!!!! What a great party she will have!
She’s adorable by the way…hope you will show us lots of pics! Enjoy your big gala!!*~*~*~
What fabulous invites! What little girl wouldn’t want to attend such a fun filled party. I love your creativity for the party. Do we get to see a picture of the cake you make? Hope all goes well with Princess Alexa and her royal court!
You are a lucky woman to have been blessed with Alexa and she is lucky to have a Mommy who loves her so much!
She will truely feel like a princess at her party – all the girls will love it!!! (I’d love it if someone had a princes party for me and I am 44).
These came out great! I’d be surprised if any of the other little girls could stay away from this super fun party!
Alexa makes a beautiful princess. What fun!! Wish I lived close so I could see how it all turns out!! Be sure to post lots of pictures!! Give our best wishes to Alexa for a fun, wonderfully enchanting day!
It sounds like Alexa’s birthday will be a fairy tale come true!
Have fun.
These are too cute. Her Majesty will have the best birthday of all. I so cannot wait to see the smilie box for her party. What an event that will be!
Lauren, these are just gorgeous, what a cool idea, bet Alexa absolutely loves them. Going to definitely remember these for my little girls when they next have their birthday, well not Beth cause she is soooo out of pink at the grand old age of nearly 10!!!! lol
