Do you have a little princess of your own who’s having a birthday soon? These ideas will give you a head start in planning a party for her! I styled this Pink Princess tea party photo shoot last year with the help of some amazing vendors including Bird of Bird’s Party who was really the driving force behind the project. At the bottom of this post you’ll find easy to follow tips for creating a similar party.

These pink party ideas will work for any occasion!

I created a table setting that was more chic than cute.  The centerpiece was a great focal point and turned out even prettier than I imagined.  I simply used floral foam soaked in water and placed on a small stand.  Pink roses, carnation, and baby’s breath were inserted and a gold decorative crown topped it all off.  The place settings were vintage snack sets set on top of a doily.  I love these snack sets as they have a small indention for the cup to sit in.

The napkins were customized by using rhinestone iron-on transfers in a crown motif, and cupcake pedestals were created using small candlestick holders and vintage saucers.  I used 3 different shades of pink to spray paint each candlestick a different color to hold the eclectic mix of china patterns.  The printed elements tie everything together with place cards, straw flags, and cupcake toppers. pink princess tea party shelf with princess themed dessertspink princess tea party printable signpink princess tea party decorpink princess tea party decorated cookie favorspink princess tea party decorating ideas, frog prince decorpink princess tea party photo frame and chair decor

For a dessert table I used a book shelf and lined the back with fabric to coordinate with the look of the party.  This low shelving is the perfect height for little ones to serve themselves.  On it I placed decorative items as well as the flower wands from Fluffy Tuffies, favor boxes wrapped in tulle & a tag from the princess paper collection, pretty & delicious cupcakes, and the most beautiful princess themed cookies from Lori’s Place.

I created a photo opportunity for the little girls by hanging an empty frame from a tree branch.  Dressed in their tutus & head bands from Cole Baby Tutus, the photos were darling.

Pink Princess Tea Party Styling Tips:

  • Create your own cupcake pedestals using small candlesticks from the dollar store, and an eclectic mix of china saucers.  Glue Dots are used to hold the items together securely, and can be removed afterwards for care-free clean up.
  • Design your own napkins with iron-on embellishments and cotton napkins (or simple fabric squares).
  • Serve sandwich “wands” by cutting out shapes from peanut butter sandwiches and inserting a lollipop stick into the middle.
  • Party atmosphere is easy to create with yards of ribbon hanging from trees or the ceiling.
  • Hang an empty frame from a tree branch for an instant photo booth.
  • Use a book shelf to serve snacks from. Line the back with fabric for the day using spray adhesive – follow directions on the can for “temporary use.”
  • Get more bang for your buck by incorporating guest favors into the party itself. Here, the designer cookies wrapped in cellophane, and dress-up attire can all be taken home as parting gifts.

SPECIAL NOTE: I receive emails and questions all the time, about where to find the crown centerpiece. I conceptualized and created it my self using a wooden fish bowl/plant stand in gold, some floral foam, and a decorative crown found at stores like TJMaxx, Hobby Lobby, Burlington Coat Factory, HomeGoods, etc.

      Good luck!

  31. How does 1 replicate this for a 31st birthday on the 31st day of the month. A crown birthday…

    • Suvarna, I think many of the details could be replicated and then you just use a more grown up graphic and adult food selection.

  34. Can someone please tell where to find the crowns for the centerpiece? I’ve been looking for them everywhere and I cant seem to find them !

    • The question has been answered above. Stores are mentioned, or do a Google search for “decorative crown” and lots will come up.

  35. Is is just beautiful. By any chance where can I find the crown you used for the topping I fell in love with the center pecies

  36. Heyy chris i fell in love with those centerpieces i want them for my baby shower do you know where i can buy them?

  37. Hi Chris, first off you did an amazing job with the decorations. I fell in love with the centerpieces and I found the crown but i just cant find the little stand if you can please let me know where you found the stand. Please and thank you.
