Princess Party Ideas: Themes, Decorations & Entertainment
The princess party is an iconic staple of little girl party themes – if you have a child between the ages of 2-12, you’ve likely either attended, hosted, or are about to host a princess party. Between traditional princesses like Rapunzel and Snow White, and their modern counterparts of Elsa and Moana, there is no shortage of princesses for girls to fawn over.
So, how do you pull off the perfect princess party? You’ve come to the right place. Here’s everything you need to check off – from themes, to decoration, to princess entertainers.
Popular Princess Party Themes
Elsa and Anna Princess Themed Party
Since it was first released back in 2013, Frozen has become the most popular princess setting for girls. When it comes to birthday wishes, it’s hard to pass up on Arendelle; and Elsa and Anna are the ultimate birthday party princesses.
If your little one is obsessed with Frozen, a princess party themed around Princess Elsa (now officially Queen) and her sister is sure to be a hit. Include lots of time for sing-along sessions during the party, ideally with a screening of the movie itself!
To make the party feel truly magical, hire a Elsa kids party entertainer to make a royal appearance. Our Elsa entertainer comes with a film-accurate costume, hairdo, and graceful personality that will have the kids in awe.
Mermaid Princess Themed Party
The beauty and fantastical nature of mermaids make for a perfect party theme for younger birthday girls. Add a princess crown to the mix, and there’s only one place you’ll end up – under the sea with Disney’s Princess Ariel.
An Ariel the mermaid party fits nicely with some underwater decor and water-based party activities. At Fly By Fun, our mermaid party entertainment includes appearances from princess Ariel herself, as well as a few of her mermaid friends.
Moana Themed Party
As the daughter of the island’s chief, Moana is not technically a princess – but she is still listed as one, according to Disney. With how popular Moana has become thanks to the two animated movies, she’s one of our top picks for a princess themed party.
A Princess Moana party is perfect for little adventure seekers who want something different from the usual glitter and gloss of princess parties. Think tropical food and drinks, beach-based games, and a beached-theme outdoor extravaganza.
Princess Leia Themed Party
Yes, you read that right, Leia from Star Wars is a princess – Star Wars princess parties are absolutely a thing!
A Star Wars themed party can include appearances from Princess Leia herself, alongside other beloved characters like Rey, and is ideal for birthday kids who are fans of the franchise.
Princess Party Decor Ideas
No princess party is complete without themed decorations that transform the venue into a magical space.
Colours – Start with a colour palette based on the chosen princess theme. Frozen-themed princess parties should feature icy blues and silver, while green and earthy colours will suit a Moana party. White, pink, and gold are classic colours for general princess parties.
Balloons and banners – Birthday balloons and custom banners that feature princess characters are always a nice touch. Plus, they make for a great backdrop for phototaking.
Photobooth props – If you are planning to have a dedicated photobooth at the party, consider creating some DIY props related to the princess theme. Get creative with paper or prop crowns, or even mermaid leggings for an Ariel themed party.
Princess cake – A tiered castle or a character cake featuring your princess of choice is sure to light up a smile on your birthday girl’s face.

The real magic of any princess party is when a favourite character walks through the door in the flesh. At Fly By Fun, our professional princess party entertainers bring your child’s most-loved princess to life with high-quality, detailed costumes and a sparkling personality to match.
