Host a Cinderella Birthday Party

There is a fairy tale about a lonely girl who is treated as a servant by her step-mother and step-sisters. All day long she has to cook, clean, and wait on them. She makes the work fun by whistling a happy tune. The King and Queen decide to throw a Royal Ball, so that the Prince can find a wife. Her step-mother and step-sisters make her stay at home, but with the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella gets to go. Be your child's Fairy Godmother by giving her a beautiful Cinderella birthday party with these great ideas.

According to the tale the Fairy Godmother changes an ordinary pumpkin into a coach to transport Cinderella to the ball. You can make your own invitations for the party by cutting orange cardstock into the shape of the pumpkin. Give it an orange stem and decorate with glitter to hint at what the pumpkin will become. Write your party details on the other side of the pumpkin, letting your guests know who the party is for and when and where it is.

Cinderella goes from wearing rags to a beautiful ball gown.  Have a dress up station for all your party guests to make their own transformation. Have a trunk of old dress up clothes and shoes for them to wear. Set up a craft station so that they can make their own crowns out of construction paper, glitter, markers, sequins, and glue. 

Your menu should be food fit for a Royal Ball. Have little teacakes, sandwiches, and cupcakes for your guests to eat. Serve a pink lemonade or punch to drink.
