Cinderella Inspired Royal Birthday Celebration

I'm starting to think that I'm in denial that the Royal Wedding weekend is over.

I think it's because I have a daughter, who believes with all her heart that she is true royalty, and I simply love weddings, and parties that make little girls feel like princesses.

I believe in true love, I believe in happily ever after, and I believe that dreams do come true.

That's why I fell in love with this Royal Birthday Celebration.

Andrea from Dolce Drive planned a Cinderella~inspired soiree for her daughter's birthday

that has so many darling and magical party details!

My favorite touch? The little girls were greeted with patchwork aprons and hankies (for their hair) and told to "finish their chores" before they could attend the upcoming Royal Tea Party celebration! After happily doing their chores like baking fake cookies, sweeping the chimney and eating lunch, they were transformed into princesses for the Royal Celebration, where they dined on "tea" (apple juice) and sweet treats, alongside a very special guest.

Featured on Hostess with the Mostess, this party encompasses something I really enjoy about parties, I love the imagination and the creativity that the guests' create rather than just seeing beautiful decor at the party. Andrea used the girls' own imagination to create an experience and memories that will last a lifetime.

Head over to Hostess with the Mostess to read about all the party details and decor as well as see credit, links and sources to all the vendors Andrea used for her daughter's party.

Well done!
