Princess Charley’s Royal 3rd Birthday Party


Sparkles, bows, jewels, crowns and glitter are all of the ingredients that made up Princess Charley’s magical 3rd birthday party.  Not a day goes by that Charley doesn’t want to dress up in a princess dress, so a princess party with all of the princesses was easy to plan.  Gwen Moss Photography didn’t disappoint on setting the mood for the party with her amazing pictures of Miss Priss and the invite!




This year I decided to just do a sweets and treats table, but I made sure to have a treat for each princess.  Princess cupcakes, Princess cake pops, Snow White’s apple sugar cookies (that took HOURS), Cinderella’s slipper with M&M’s, Princess fruit snacks, Ariel’s sea shell collection, Rapunzel’s donut hole towers, Belle’s rose suckers and Aurora’s true love kiss gummy lips.  












For the decor, I used pinks, purple, yellow, red, light blue and teal...each color for each princess.  (A special thanks to Aunt Ray Ray for painting the castle!)






Princess Aurora was so cute with all of her royal guests!!!  She especially loved being with Prince Charming and Cinderella, aka Daddy and Mommy!












Singing “Happy Birthday” and blowing out the candles was so much fun this year!  After we sang to Princess Charley, we sang “Happy Birthday” to Princess Laney, since the girls have the same birthday, one year apart!  










Playing upstairs was lots of fun for the kiddos.  I’m not sure who to thank for cleaning up that mess, but it looked amazing after everyone left!!!











Present opening was crazy chaos!  All the kiddos tore into Princess Charley’s presents at first, but we finally got things calmed down.  Somehow I managed to see who got her what...mostly!  Of course, she got WAY too many presents, but she clearly has the best friends and family!!!!




For her royal favor, Charley gave all of the princesses magic mirrors to decorate and the princes got swords.  



We may be cleaning glitter out of the floor until Princess Charley graduates high school, but I wouldn’t have it any other way...especially since her Daddy does the cleaning!!!  Charley loved her royal party and said the whole day was, “magical!”  I would call that a success!
