Paper Packages Tied Up with Pink String Princess Birthday Party

Jordan of Polka Dot Prints  loves this party! She designed a princess collection for a little girl named Ella who was turning three and wanted a pink princess party. Don’t all three year olds want that? “Not being a tizzy girl myself as a mom to a little boy, I haven’t had much to do with tutus and frills. But this party has changed my mind about how a princess party can look!” To get this look, Jordan combined mom Maddie’s love of “brown paper packages tied up with string” with her “pink princesses” obsession and came up with a lovely rustic princess party to share with her closest friends.

A key idea for the party was that it  had to be environmentally friendly. They used existing objects like a paper flower and white platters, or leftovers around home or friends to decorate, buying only some colored paper, stickers and brown paper for the event.

Maddie used a lot of pink, but by using brown paper and some pretty home made touches, it’s still so very girly with no tulle in sight! She made all the decorations, the lollypops and cupcakes (topped with chocolate tiaras for the princess) and finished the look with Jordan’s printables including invites, chocolate dots, personalized princess straw tags, buffet sign and buffet labels.

On the menu were ‘fruit jewels’ (cookie cutter shaped fruit on sticks), ‘ham swirls’ (ham and tortilla wraps on sticks), ‘princess popcorn’ (fresh popcorn in paper cones), ‘garlic toasties’ (garlic bread shaped like tiaras).

It’s a party any little girl would dream of. And it kind of helps to have a mum who is an extremely talented photographer too! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous party with us Jordan!
