Host A Tinker Bell Birthday Party For A Child

Balloons can be both decorations and prize holders at your Tinkerbell party.


If your little girl is a fan of Tinkerbell, there's a good chance she will request a Tinkerbell-themed birthday party. While you can simply purchase Tinkerbell-themed party merchandise in party supply stores, you could also get creative and throw a unique party of your own. This theme offers plenty of options for food, decor and activities to keep guests entertained for hours. Throw your little girl an original Tinkerbell birthday party and make memories to last a lifetime.


Instructions


1. Invite your guests. Purchase Tinkerbell invitations or make your own by sticking images of Tinkerbell onto colorful card stock. Deliver invitations at least two weeks prior to your party to ensure guests have time to make room for your party in their schedules.


2. Plan your party menu. Serve guests fairy-inspired foods, such as sandwiches cut into star or flower shapes using cookie cutters, and chocolate-covered pretzel sticks (wands). Macaroni and cheese or fruit and vegetable trays make excellent sides for your birthday menu.


3. Choose a cake. A large sheet cake decorated with frosting flowers and butterflies, edible glitter and a Tinkerbell figure is one option. You may also consider baking lots of cupcakes and allowing guests to decorate their own cakes with their choice of frosting, sprinkles, edible glitter and candy.


4. Decorate using pink, purple and green colors. Turn the party area into a fairyland with streamers, balloons, white Christmas lights and artificial flowers on tables and hanging from the ceiling. Cover tables with tulle fabric in green, pink or purple, and dust tables with sequins in your theme colors to create a pretty dining atmosphere.


5. Organize games for guests. Play "Pin the Wings on the Fairy" instead of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey," or "Pass the Fairy Wand" rather than "Hot Potato." Play "Tink's Tag," like traditional freeze tag, but only a sprinkle of fairy dust (glitter) from another girl's pouch unfreezes players.


6. Hand out favors. Fill tulle pouches with Tinkerbell stickers, jewelry, key chains and coloring books. Add lip gloss, body glitter and and handfuls of colorful confetti to the bags and tie them off with satin ribbon.
