Invitations
For your fairy birthday party invitations, purchase some parchment or linen paper from the office supply store. Use Gothic script for the wording of your invitations.
They can say "Fairies, fairies, did you hear? (Your child name)'s birthday is this year! You'll dance, you'll eat, and you'll have sweet fun - you'll be a fairy before it's all done."
"Wear you fairy best, a tutu will do. You wings and accessories await you. The party is at (time), please say you'll fly by. (Birthday child's name) god-mother awaits your reply!"
Roll the invitations into scrolls, and tie them up with a ribbon. Hand-deliver the invitations to your fairy birthday party guests. Here is another fairy party invitation idea. Print your invitations on pink paper, but make the font so tiny as if written by a fairy.
In this case, the invitations will be hard to read - so send (or deliver) each invitation with a plastic magnifying glass. Add confetti or glitter to the invitation envelopes for "fairy dust."
Decorations
Have your fairy party decorations in "elegant" colors such as pink, gold, silver, etc. Blowing up helium balloons will add extra "magnificence" to you fairy birthday party. (You can rent helium tank from a party store.)
To make an outdoor fairy garden, cut out cardboard toadstools, giant paper flowers and beanstalks. Attach all cutouts to garden stakes to create the fairyland scene. Make a gumdrop tree by hanging small bags of gumdrops on tree branches using ornament hooks.
Scatter confetti in a path leading to the house and on the floor in the party area, telling the kids that those are "fairy footprints." Hang inexpensive flower garlands from all your doorways. Put fairy theme posters on the walls. Hang balloons, streamers, and twinkling Christmas lights in the party room.
Decorate the main fairy birthday party table with theme table cover. Tie helium balloons to the backs of the party chairs, and tie a Mylar balloon to the back of the birthday child's chair. Put a set of fairy wings and a magic wand for your table centerpiece.
Guest Arrival and Introductory Activities
As your guests arrive, provide them with wands and fairy wings. Then sprinkle the kids with "fairy dust."
*Fairy Transformation: Make little girls' dreams come true. Transform each child into a fairy with a pair of wings, a hair wreath and a little bit of fairy dust (gold and silver glitter) as the guests enter your door.
*Fairy Coloring Pages: Here is a time-proven activity for young fairy birthday party guests. Provide them with pencils, crayons, and let them color in fairy activity book coloring pages.
*Wreath Decorating Activity: You can get unique Wreath Craft Kit from a party store. Let the girls make their own decorative flower garland headpieces.
Favors
For your fairy birthday party favors, give out fairy dust (silver and gold glitter), magic wands, fairy theme blowouts and stickers.
Little girls will also appreciate such items as pink brushes and mirrors, tiaras, necklaces, and toy gemstone rings.
Fairy Birthday Party Games
*Fairy Freeze: Play classical music in the background, and have the kids dance like fairies. When the music stops, they have to freeze. Anyone who moves is out of the game.
Then start the music again, so the fairy birthday party guests can continue dancing. The last person left is the winner of the game.
*Flower Pot Toss: Set up large flower pots around the area with a single flower stuck in Styrofoam in each pot. Give the players rings to throw and to ring the flowers.
They have to be "gentle" to get the rings on without knocking the flowers over. Present each child with a crown made out of flowers (inexpensive Hawaiian headband) to wear on their heads.
*Lily Pad Moat Crossing: Cut out four large lily pads from green cardboard (about 12"x15"). Divide children into two equal teams. Ask each team to line up behind a starting line.
Give the first person on each team two lily pads. Lily pads are the only thing they can step on as they travel from the front of the line, around a chair and back to the line again.
On the command "Go", children place one lily pad on the ground and step on it. Then they place the other lily pad on the ground in front and step on it. They then pick up the first lily pad and place it on the ground in front of the other. When they cross the moat they hand the two lily pads to the next person in line. The team to make it all the way across the moat first wins.
*Fairy, Fairy, Troll: Play this fairy birthday party version of Duck, Duck, Goose. Children sit in a circle, and one person taps others while saying "Fairy."
When she says "Troll" she must run around the circle trying to occupy the spot where the Troll was sitting before being tagged by the Troll. Have the players flutter their arms as if they are flying.
*Pixie Magic: Have guests sit in a circle. Pull the birthday child aside and whisper into her ear the secret of the trick, "Select the penny that is warm." Bring the birthday child back into the circle. Show all the kids five pennies, which you place in a hat.
Have the birthday child select a penny and look at the date on the penny. Get her to pass the selected penny around the circle so every guest has a chance to look at the date, and, most importantly touch the penny. Have the last player toss the penny back into the hat.
Shake up the pennies in the hat. Then have the birthday child select the correct penny from the hat without looking (she will select the warm penny, because copper absorbs heat, and the penny handled will now be warm).
Repeat the magic with other players, gently whispering the secret to each child one at a time.
*Majestic Message Mix-Up: Have your fairy birthday party guests sit in a circle. Have the birthday child think of a message (for example, Unicorns only have one horn) and whisper it to the child on her left, and so on until the message travels all the way around the circle.
The person on the birthday child's right will say the message out loud, and the birthday child will say the original message. As you can imagine there is going to be quite a difference between the two messages!
*Find Fairies: Photocopy pictures of fairies in various colors. Next, cut the pictures out, and hide them through out your party area.
Assign each person a color to hunt for, write (or draw clues) and send the players on the "Fairy Hunt."
*Floating Balloon Game: Give inflated balloons to all your fairy party guests. The object of the game is to hit the balloons up into the air, and keep them afloat for the longest time possible.
*Magic Present: Put small prizes in little-sized boxes before the fairy birthday party. The total number of "prize" boxes should equal the number of your guests.
Have the kids sit in a circle, and get them to pass a large box (filled with smaller "prize" boxes) around the circle, while music is playing. When the music stops, the child holding a large box have to open it and choose one of the "prize" boxes. She then leaves the game, and the play continues until everyone has a prize.
*Fantastic Fairy Tale: Here is a perfect fairy birthday party activity to unwind. To start, ask one of your guests to begin telling traditional fairy tale. Move around the circle and get each guest to add her installment of the story. It's a great opportunity for the kids to use their imagination to come up with their own fairy tale.
Food and Drink Fairy Birthday Cake:
*Fairy Cake: Bake a round or a sheet cake. Decorate it with marshmallows and star sprinkles. Put the fairy cake toppers (available from a party store) onto your cake. Fairy Birthday Party Food Ideas:
*Dainty Sandwiches: Prepare your child's favorite sandwiches. Cut them into various shapes (such as stars, hearts, and flowers) using cookie cutters. Have the guests choose their preferred sandwich shapes.
*Fairy Parfait: In parfait cups, put a layer of yogurt topped with granola and fresh fruit. Make several layers and top the parfait with whipped cream. Serve with long-handled spoons.
*Magic Strawberries: Dip strawberries in Ghirardelli milk chocolate, and then drizzle white chocolate over them. This fairy birthday party dessert will be a big hit!
