Party Planning

For peace of mind, begin planning your fairy birthday bash six to eight weeks in advance. This will allow you time to gather all the supplies that you need, including fairy party decorations, gifts, and menu items. Planning ahead also gives your guests time to RSVP and make travel plans, if needed. Don't panic if you find yourself short on time; you can still plan a great party! Planning ahead simply reduces the risk of conflicts with guests' plans and may increase your party’s attendance.

For fairy birthday invitations, use white card stock or construction paper folded in half, and decorate it with glitter glue and shiny stickers. For a more sophisticated look, grab some fairy or princess scrapbook stickers to decorate your invitations. You can also use our easy printable fairy invitations. If you’re short on time, not to worry! We have personalized or pre-printed fairy birthday invitations you can easily purchase online. We recommend mailing your invitations three to four weeks prior to the party—any sooner and your guests may forget, any later and your guests may already have plans.

What You’ll Need

If you plan to use paper tableware and fairy party supplies, our Suggested Party Supply List may be quite helpful. Please note that you may not need everything on the list; it is intended only as a guide.

For this party, think white, pink, and lavender as your main color scheme. Simple white balloons and pretty pastel streamers work perfectly. For goodie bags, purchase fairy party favors such as pretend makeup, magic fairy wands, fairy stickers, glitter nail polish, fake pearls, and candies. Place all of these items inside clear or printed cellophane bags, and tie the bags closed with pretty, pastel-colored ribbons.
