I have been looking forward to doing a princess party for Whitney since the day she was born! ...so of course I wanted to make it perfect!!!! We did a Daddy-Daughter Princess Ball.
Here is our cute 5 year old!
Here is the scroll invite we sent out.
The treat table
Her castle cake! I made the cake and my mom made the fancy flowers and leaves to dress it up.
The "W" on front was to match the "W" she has on her bedroom wall.
I made these purely because they were cute, not thinking they'd get eaten, but the girls gobbled them up instantly!
Oreos has a strawberry creme out right now so that fit perfect!
Cotton candy and watermelon popcorn from our favorite popcorn store!
Whitney helped me add glitter to make the cups extra fancy. She also picked out those fancy plates.
I showed Tommy & Whitney how to do one fork and they happily decorated the rest. They did good!
Serving room all lit up!
Drop ceiling we made to set the mood!
This is the only picture I got of our giant streamer wall
...and another one at the font entrance. The girls love running underneath it!
I didn't want to have to cover up our "Family" picture wall so I made us all royal for the day!
Party Favor Table
Here is a frame for them to put the picture from our picture booth in.
...and here is me, my mom, and Princess Whitney ready for the ball!
The first thing our guests did when they arrived was get a picture with their daddy.
Here's a few really cute ones!!!
I messed up at the printers and didn't have time to go back so our frog looks a bit funny, but we had the girls put on lipstick and try to kiss the frog blind folded!
Next, we had the each girl pick which villain they wanted their dad to shoot.
...Mark set up a shooting game for them. The dad's loved this part!
Cute action shot of McKenzie pointing to the right bad guy!
The dads checking out everyone's shots and deciding who did best. Vic declared himself the winner and Brynlee's dad 2nd place so we gave the prize to Brynlee's dad!
Next I played hot potato, except with Snow White's poison apple and if they got caught with it they had to die and their dad had to come revive them with a kiss and in return they'd give their dad a hershey kiss! We also did a Daddy/daughter get to know each other quiz game while everyone ate refreshments.
After that, we had cake and ice cream... for the first time ever, we ran out of both! I spaced the fact that Dads can eat way more than moms and little girls!
Birthday girl with her cake. She LOVED it!
Finally, we had a "ball"! Whitney got the first dance and showed off her moves with Vic
Then everyone joined in on the fun! I even had a party dance light that went to the music :)
Grandpa was a good sport and danced the night away!
Whitney's best friend is also named Whitney. Here they are dancing together... and a funny Brynlee in the background with her head on the ground. She had all sorts of interesting moves!!!
Tommy was my date, but when I was busy taking pictures or refilling food, he happily danced away with his cousin Ivy. She even let him lift her and swing her around!
2 cute dads having fun!!
Me and the birthday girl dancing.
Going wild!
Tucker mostly snacked all night, but when we asked him what his favorite part of the party was, he said the dancing part!
It got hot with all those dancing bodies so the girls had a break playing on our new swing set.
While we were out back Great Grandma snuck a dance in with Grandpa... SOoo sweet! :) This will so be me when I'm 80!
Me and my date.
Wild Princesses after a night of fun!
We let most the guests go home and then opened presents. I didn't do it at the party because I didn't think dads would enjoy this part nor did I want to keep little girls out too late! The party was SOOOOO much fun! I'd love to do it more often if it wasn't so much work!!!
