Appetizers

Start off with healthy, easy-to-eat appetizers such as olives, baby carrots and dip, and crackers with cheese spread or cream cheese. Sprinkle a little paprika or chopped chives on top of the spread for a fancy finish. Serve on small plates with cocktail napkins.
Drinks
-
Every princess needs some sparkle. Serve sparkling apple cider or grape juice. You can also make a slush drink by combining raspberry or strawberry sherbet with lemon-lime soda. Be creative and experiment by mixing different flavors of fruit juice with lemon-lime soda. Use plastic wine glasses or teacups.

Main Meal
-
Continue the finger foods by serving a variety of small sandwiches. Some options are peanut butter and jelly, cream cheese with jam, or ham or turkey with cheese. Cut the crusts off the bread, make the sandwiches and then use cookie cutters to cut out small sandwiches. Use diamond, heart, and star shapes. You can also use the cookie cutters in Jell-O. Set out plates of sliced deli meat and pieces of cheese and let the guests make their own skewer combinations with decorative toothpicks.
Dessert
-
Instead of having one cake for dessert, give each guest her own frosted cupcake. Decorate them in advance or let the guests decorate their own. Another option is to serve small cookies or pastries like those served at a tea party.
Snacks
-
Throughout the party, have bowls set out with pastel-colored mini marshmallows and foil-wrapped candy or jelly beans in pink, purple and white. For a healthier option, slide pieces of fruit onto long skewers. Watermelon, strawberries, bananas and pineapple are tasty choices.
