Learn to plan a fun Cinderella birthday party that your child will be talking about for years to come!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cardstock cut into footprints and covered with foil
  • Glitter
  • Glue
  • Decorated invitations to Cinderella's Ball
  • Dress-up slipper with invitations to the ball in them.
  • Small decorated box
  • Cleaning rags
  • Hair accessories and stage makeup
  • Beach ball with aluminum foil covering it and decorated to look like a disco ball
  • Ballroom music
  • Dollar jewelry sets with rings, necklaces, bracelets for party favors
  1. Step 1

    Invitations. Cut out ten footprints from heavy cardstock before the party. Wrap them in tinfoil and decorate with glue and glitter. Make the invitations to the ball for each child, labeled with their name and put them in one of your/spouse's high heels

  2. Step 2

    When it's time for the party, decorate with balloons, streamers and a disco ball (or foil and glitter).

  3. Step 3

    When each child arrives, hand them a rag and have them start "cleaning," such as wiping off walls, windows, tables, etc. You will like this part best.

  4. Step 4

    While each child is cleaning, have another person (spouse, friend, relative) go out a back door with the glass slipper and invitations to Cinderella's Ball. Have them go around to the front door and ring the doorbell, and then run and hide.

  5. Step 5

    Someone opens the door and sees their invitation to the ball. Each girl starts dressing for the ball by putting on their dress, doing their hair and putting on make-up by an adult or older sibling.

  6. Step 6

    Put out the glittering footsteps leading into the treasure room, while the girls are preparing for the ball (place where a small box has been decorated with foil and glitter).

  7. Step 7

    Hang the disco ball from your ceiling and put on some ballroom music and let the girls dance for about 10 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    Next, explain to the girls to follow the golden footsteps to the treasure, where sets of jewelry are there for each child to take home with them.

  9. Step 9

    Serve cake and ice cream and open up gifts.

Tips & Warnings
  • Allow at least two hours for the party so the girls have plenty of time to dress for the ball.
  • Make sure they can dance in a large area, such as a basement or room where furniture can be moved.
  • If you are worried about the girls getting cake and ice cream on their dress, have them bring an extra pair of clothes they can change into after the ball.
