I've received several requests lately for Cinderella themed party goods which makes my heart so happy! Whether you're planning their first or fifth celebration, this theme is elegant, whimsical, and full of possibilities. Here are a few ideas to help you plan, including some of the most adorable handmade products to personalize and enhance your celebration.
Cordially Invited
Set the tone for your magical affair with enchanting invitations that transport guests to the fairy-tale realm. Craft invitations shaped like glass slippers or pumpkin carriages, adorned with shimmering glitter and elegant fonts. Don't forget to include a touch of Cinderella's signature blue and white color scheme to make the invitations as captivating as the celebration itself.
Here are some gorgeous options:
Bibbidi, Bobbidi,...this one has all the blues.
This one features sweet bluebirds and the iconic pink dress.
The gingham touch on this is adorable.
Enchanting Environment
Transform your party space into a royal ballroom. Think soft blue and silver hues, cascading fairy lights, and delicate draped tulle. Incorporate iconic elements such as glass slippers, carriages, clocks, pumpkins, bluebirds, and bows. Create a grand entrance with a DIY castle facade and a pink carpet for your little guests to make their royal entrance.
Ballgowns Optional
Encourage guests to come dressed as their favorite characters from the Cinderella story, or any princess tale. Whether it's Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother, or even the adorable mice, everyone can play a part in bringing the fairy tale to life. Provide costume accessories like tiaras, wands, and glass slippers to enhance the royal experience.

Activities and Games
Keep the little princes and princesses entertained with Cinderella-themed activities and games. Set up a crafting station where kids can decorate their own glass magical wands. Organize a royal scavenger hunt to find Cinderella's lost items, or host a "Cinderella's Shoe Fitting" game, where children try on different sized glass slippers to find the perfect fit. My daughter once attended a princess party where they decorated very simple wooden frames. These later doubled as a favor, complete with a group picture that served as a sweet memory for guests.
Royal Feast
No Cinderella-themed party is complete without a royal feast. Serve snacks and treats that tie into the fairy-tale theme, such as shimmery glass slipper cookies, pumpkin-shaped cupcakes, and a beautiful Cinderella-themed cake adorned with edible fairy-tale decorations. Consider setting up a candy buffet with an array of blue and silver candies for guests to enjoy. Don't forget the healthy options, those can be just as fun and sometimes more popular. Also, be mindful of allergies or food sensitivities and plan appropriately.

Party Favors
Send your little guests home with a bit of magic by providing enchanting party favors. Consider small tiaras, fairy wands, or storybooks. Personalized items like Cinderella-themed coloring books or custom-made glass slipper cookies make for delightful keepsakes that will be cherished long after the clock strikes midnight.
I'm pretty sure your little princess guests would love these necklaces.
There are many great favor box options, but these are so royal!
As the clock ticks closer to the end of your magical celebration, you'll find that hosting a Cinderella-themed birthday party is a dream come true for both the little ones and the young at heart. With a touch of creativity, a sprinkle of fairy dust, and a dash of Cinderella's charm, you're sure to create memories that will last happily ever after.
