Welcome To Live Organic Baby. We want to inspire you to raise healthy children.

Your little girl wants to have a princess party but you think how can that fit in with our organic, green lifestyle?

With a bit of creativity, you can give your daughter the party of her dreams and keep it green and organic. Follow these steps for a spectacular princess event.

Picking the Location: Choose a location that looks elegant or can easily be transformed into an elegant spot. A garden or transforming a room in your house to give a garden feel is the perfect setting. If you have a local park with a covered area would be another great choice.

Princess Party Invitations: You can make them yourself on a cloth treasure bag that they can bring to the party for the treasure hunt. Simply go to your local craft store buy pre-made or get some fabric and sew them up yourself. On one side, write the party information. You can have a craft activity to decorate them at the party as well. You can also email out the invitation , type up what you want your invitations to say and send.

Princess Decor: Your decor should look extravagant and elegant. This can be done with borrowing plants, a few fresh flowers and the use sheer fabric or tulle to drape around the space instead of paper streamers. Silk flowers are another option and hang a few on the ends of cloth ribbons. Use various sized paper cutouts on the walls embellished with glitter and have all banners printed or drawn on fabric so that they look like fancy scrolls. Cover the seating with sheer pink fabric and secure it in place with large green ribbons. All can be reused for other things or put together a box of your goodies and share with a friend for their princess party

Princess Tablescapes: Cover each table with a solid white tablecloth, pink cloth napkin finish it with a green runner. All layers should be visible. For centerpieces, arrange short vases down the center of the runner and fill them with flowers (vases do not have to match). Inter-weave the vases with pink and white ribbon scraps. Let the ribbons fall into place, you don’t want them to look neat. You can either use all pink, all green ,or all white tableware. For a less dramatic look, mix and match tableware styles and colors.

Princess Party Menu: Think rustic when you’re planning a menu for a princess. Try these totally terrifc treats: Fresh pink lemonade;organic baked chicken fingers; pink ranch dip with veggie tray; fresh fruit chunks with yogurt sauce; Serve all foods on silver trays.

Princess Favors: Wrap dried fruits in sheer fabric to make little princess bundles. Tie them off with curled ribbon.

Princess Party Games:

Treasure Hunt: Hide gems in  sand and let the children collect them and put in they cloth invite bags.After the treasure hunt you can have an activity to decorate the bags with the gems they found.

Princess charades: Kids take turns acting out princess themed characters while others guess what they are trying to act out.

Musical Magic Carpet: Lay out pink squares of carpet, turn on the music and play like musical chairs.
Pin the tail on the dragon: Draw a tail-less dragon on a poster board. Make a separate fabric tail (use velco as the connector instead of pins or tape). Blindfold each child and have them try to “pin” the tail on the dragon.
Court jester: Let the children sit in a big circle around the “it” child. The “it” child has to do whatever she can to make the other kids laugh. First one to laugh is it.
