Party Invitations and RSVP Sheets
Oh, honey, let’s start with the most important part – the invitations! You don’t want to just send out plain old invites, no no no.
This is Cinderella’s party, darling! You need something that screams royalty and whimsy.
Here’s how you can make your invitations pop:
- Font Styles: Go for elegant fonts like “Baskerville” or “Playfair Display” for a regal touch. For a little fun, mix in a playful script font for the guest’s name or the party title, just like the scrolls in the royal castle.
- Colors: Think of the iconic Cinderella colors: soft blues, shimmering silvers, and a hint of gold. Keep the base neutral, but sprinkle some sparkles (literally) around the edges for that magical touch.
- Personalize It: Leave space for the party details, of course, but also add a space for each child’s name. Trust me, the little ones will feel so special knowing the invite is personally addressed to them!
I swear, every time I sent out these beauties, the response was “Oooohhh, this is so pretty, I can’t wait!” The excitement starts from the very first moment they open it!
RSVP Tracking Sheet
Now, don’t get overwhelmed by the guest list. Here’s a little trick I’ve learned over the years: create a downloadable RSVP sheet to keep track of responses. Oh, and don’t just track who’s coming – oh no!
Also jot down any special requests (like “please no glitter” or “allergic to pumpkins”). This makes the planning process smooth, and you’ll avoid last-minute surprises (trust me, been there, done that).
You can even color-code your sheet—pink for “coming,” blue for “not coming,” and green for “maybes” (I always keep my fingers crossed for those ‘maybes’ to turn into ‘yeses’!).
You’ll thank me later when you don’t have to dig through your emails trying to remember who’s attending.
Decorations and Party Setup Planner
Printable Cinderella Decorations
Okay, let’s talk about the fun stuff: the decorations. Honey, this is where you can really let your creativity shine!
For this party, I made sure every little corner screamed Cinderella’s royal ball. Here’s what I recommend:
- Printable Banners
Download a banner featuring Cinderella’s iconic pumpkin carriage or her sparkling glass slippers.
Hang it over the snack table or across the entryway to create a magical welcome.
Pro tip: Add a few gold stars or sparkly stickers to make it shine like it’s been touched by fairy dust!
- Table Settings
Think royal, but not too over-the-top. Soft blue tablecloths, gold napkins, and glass slipper confetti scattered on the table will give your guests the feeling they’re dining with royalty.
And don’t forget the shimmery charger plates (you can find them for cheap online), it’s the extra sparkle that makes it special!
- Pumpkin Carriage
You’re not going to believe this, but I got a pumpkin (yes, a real one) and turned it into the cutest carriage by painting it and adding a little bit of DIY magic.
You can place it by the entrance or in the center of the table for some serious wow factor!
Trust me, when your guests walk in and see those dreamy decorations, their jaws will drop!
Room Setup Layouts
Now, here’s where the real magic happens. When I first threw my Cinderella party, I made the rookie mistake of cramming everything into one space. Big mistake.
What you need is a layout that allows for mingling, eating, and – of course – dancing, because what’s a Cinderella party without a royal ball, right?
I’ve got you covered with printable layout templates to help you plan the space. Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Entrance: Create a royal entrance with a “red carpet” leading into the party area. You can use a red tablecloth or even some velvet fabric (got mine from a local store for cheap, by the way).
- Royal Dining Area: Set up a table that resembles a banquet fit for a princess. Line the table with gold charger plates, royal goblets, and fairy-tale-style cutlery. (Trust me, the kids love these touches!).
- Dance Floor Area: Leave a little space for a mini royal ball. You can get creative here, but remember, it doesn’t have to be big – just enough for a few spins and twirls! Add a small speaker playing light music (maybe some Cinderella songs?) to set the mood. You’ll have little ones twirling in no time!
And here’s a little insider tip: when you’re planning the layout, think about how the kids will move around.
Create little pathways so they don’t feel crowded, and make sure the food and drinks are easy to access without interrupting the “dancing floor.”
Party Activities and Games Planner
Alright, my dear, let’s talk about activities. No Cinderella party is complete without a little fun and games, right?
And trust me, I’ve learned a few things over the years about how to keep the little ones entertained while staying super on-theme.
Cinderella-Themed Games:
- Cinderella’s Lost Slipper Hunt
Oh, this one is so much fun and super easy to pull off! You can hide mini glass slippers (or plastic ones, if you’re like me and want to avoid any accidental breakage) all around the party area.
Each slipper can have a little clue attached to it, leading the kids on a scavenger hunt to find them all.
Trust me, they’ll be running around like little Cinderella detectives! It’s a great way to burn off that sugar rush too.
- Royal Ball Trivia
Get those royal brains working with a fun game of trivia. You can ask questions like, “What time did Cinderella have to leave the ball?” or “What animal did Cinderella’s fairy godmother turn into a coachman?”
You know, all the juicy details from the movie! It’s a great game for older kids or even adults who want to get in on the fun. Plus, you can give out cute prizes like tiaras or pumpkin-shaped candies.
- Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Now, I absolutely adore this activity! Have a mini pumpkin decorating station set up with paint, glitter, and stickers.
The kids can decorate their pumpkins like Cinderella’s carriage or even make their own magical creations.
The best part? Everyone gets to take home their masterpiece as a party favor. Plus, it’s a perfect opportunity for photos – you’ll want to capture every moment!
Craft Projects for Kids
Now, we all know that no party is complete without a little arts and crafts time, right? These crafts will have your guests feeling like they’re stepping straight into Cinderella’s magical world.
- Make Your Own Tiara
Every princess needs a tiara! Set up a table with simple craft supplies like headbands, glitter, rhinestones, and ribbon.
The kids can decorate their own tiaras and wear them proudly during the party. It’s such a fun way to get them involved and they’ll absolutely love wearing their creations all day.
- Glass Slipper Ornaments
So, this might take a little more prep, but trust me, it’s totally worth it! You can make glass slipper ornaments (or shoes if you want to keep it simple) using clear plastic slippers, silver glitter, and tiny embellishments like beads or fake jewels.
The kids will feel like they’re making their very own Cinderella magic, and you can hand them out as party favors too. Talk about a memory!
- Pumpkin Decorating Station
We all know pumpkins are central to the Cinderella story, so why not turn it into a fun craft activity? Let the kids get creative with paints, markers, and stickers.
Maybe they’ll even create a mini pumpkin carriage or paint their pumpkin to match Cinderella’s beautiful gown. It’s the perfect mix of fall fun and fairy tale magic.
Menu and Recipe Sheets
Okay, now for my absolute favorite part – the food! You simply must serve up some Cinderella-inspired treats, darling.
These magical bites will have everyone talking, and trust me, your guests won’t be able to resist these whimsical offerings.
Cinderella-Inspired Menu:
- Fairy Godmother’s Magical Punch
This one is a crowd-pleaser, no doubt! You can make a sweet, sparkling punch using lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and a splash of blue food coloring to make it look all magical.
You can even add a little bit of glitter for that extra fairy-tale sparkle. For a fun twist, serve it in “pumpkin” cups (mini pumpkins carved out to hold the punch) or glass slipper cups if you have them!
- Royal Slippers Cookies
How cute are these? Take your basic sugar cookies, but with a twist – shape them into little slippers using a cookie cutter.
Once baked, you can decorate them with blue icing to resemble Cinderella’s famous glass slippers. Don’t forget to add a little edible glitter for some sparkle!
- Pumpkin Pie Bites
Of course, we can’t forget pumpkin pie – it’s a must for a Cinderella theme!
Make mini pumpkin pie bites (you can use store-bought mini pie crusts for ease) and serve them as finger food.
A little cinnamon on top, and voilà – you’ve got yourself a delicious, fall-inspired treat.
Printable Menu Planner:
I know, I know, organizing the party menu can be a bit overwhelming, but lucky for you, I’ve got a downloadable Menu Planner for you!

Cinderella-Themed Party Budget Sheet
We all know that hosting a fabulous party can get expensive (I’ve learned that lesson the hard way, trust me).
But don’t worry, because I’ve got you covered with the Cinderella-Themed Party Budget Sheet.
This printable budget planner is a lifesaver when it comes to organizing expenses for decorations, food, and even party favors.
