Nothing says “royalty” quite like glistening gold decor. So, whether you’re celebrating a petite princess or a queen-to-be, we recommend decorating with gold accents and pops of pink and blue.

This “once upon a time” banner is an excellent piece to start with, especially if you’re leaning toward Disney princess party supplies. We draped ours along the party table, but it would look just as magical on a mantle, staircase, or above the front door.

As far as other birthday party decorations, one can never go wrong with a few balloon bunches. We chose to make a bouquet with a couple of gold and pastel pink jumbo balloons. Then, to add a little fairytale charm, we cut some strands of this shiny star backdrop and tied them to each string.

While we adore a simple balloon bundle, we never pass up an opportunity to take things up a notch. So, our talented friends at Pop Park City created this adorable crown balloon mosaic in gold, and we embellished it with this fabulous pink princess garland. This mosaic makes the perfect little girl’s princess party decoration, but it would also be such a cute accent for a bachelorette party or bridal shower! Obsessed!

However, if you’re on the hunt for a decoration you don’t have to DIY, this princess castle balloon is an excellent choice. It brings a whimsical touch to the party scene, which is ideal if you’re celebrating a little fairy princess.

One of our favorite parts about this particular party is how many darling tableware combinations there are to choose from. You can stick with a royal gold and pink pairing, or add some other colors and patterns to the mix.

We’re head over heels for this fairytale princess collection from My Mind’s Eye. So, we recommend starting with their stunning castle plates and napkins, then building the rest of your setting from there.

We decided to bring some blue to this bash, and placed a blue-toned painted place mat at each setting. The bow border and cool-toned hues compliments the rest of the tableware beautifully. Adding an elevated piece like this makes the entire setting more sophisticated, a wonderful idea if you have a princess that wants to feel a little more grown-up at her party.

For other tableware, we suggest some pink and gold cutlery, cups, and princess-themed dessert plates. These gold-trimmed crown plates are perfect for serving princess cake, ice cream, and other fun princess party food. And if you’re wanting to go all out with pink and gold, these blush dinner plates are a majestic match.

It’s crucial that your party guests are dressed for the regal occasion, so we suggest having sparkly tiaras on-hand. This gold Happy Birthday crown is perfect for the birthday girl, and it compliments any princess dress beautifully. The best part is, it comes in a set of eight, so everyone can feel like royalty.

Another fashionable alternative are these exquisite princess party hats with ribbon embellishments. But if your royal subjects decide to pass up on these princess accessories, they still look magnificent as a table decoration.

The best centerpiece for any princess party is a royal celebration cake. We chose a pretty pink cake, and added a stunning castle-themed cake topper. This topper set is particularly wonderful because it contains individual pieces to make your own fairytale scene.

We arranged ours to look like Cinderella’s castle, which is an excellent direction to take if you’re planning a Disney princess birthday party. Then, we added a few pastel gold leaf candles for those magic birthday wishes.

Every princess party needs a happily ever after, so we suggest ending your celebration with the perfect party favor. These sparkly castle favor boxes make the cutest carrier for all kinds of royal treasures. We recommend filling them with candy, temporary tattoos, and a magic glitter wand.

But the fairytale fun doesn’t end there, because these castles also make fantastic gift boxes and gift card carriers. So if you’re looking for a fabulous way to present a birthday gift to her royal highness, these are wonderful.

As far as other favors go, we love this fairytale nail polish and lip gloss set. And if you need a little princess party game or craft for kids, pick up a butterfly or unicorn coloring poster set! They’re a magical activity and party favor in one pretty package, a total royal win!
