Invitations
-
Belle loves books, so use them as the inspiration for homemade party invitations. Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make the cover of a book. Staple a few pages of white paper inside. Another option is to use a small notebook with a book-style binding. On the outside of the book, write the title "Beauty and the Beast." Inside, write all of the party details including the date, time, location and RSVP details. A picture of the birthday girl in a Belle costume works well inside the book as an illustration.
Decorations
-
The key elements of the story work well as decorations for the party. Place a rose inside a glass cover to recreate the rose in the story. Rose petals on the table create a themed confetti option. You can use real rose petals or purchase silk petals from a craft store. Books work well to decorate the party area since Belle loves reading. Stack books on the tables or move a bookshelf into the room. In addition to "Beauty and the Beast" posters, make your own wall hangings. Cut cardboard into the shapes of different characters in the story. Paint the cardboard and hang the pictures on the wall.

Entertainment
-
Dressing up as princesses keeps the young guests entertained. Tiaras, lip gloss and body glitter are simple ways to transform the girls into princesses. Encourage them to reenact the "Beauty and the Beast" story in the dress-up clothes.
Another option is let the guests decorate their own princess tiaras. Cut the tiara shape out of a strip of poster board long enough to fit around each child's head. Gemstones, sequins, three-dimensional paint, ribbon and glitter work well to decorate the tiaras. Tape or staple the strips into a loop that fits around each girl's head.
Food
-
Tea-party food works well with the "Beauty and the Beast" theme, because two of the movie's character are Mrs. Potts and Chip, the tea pot and tea cup. Even if you don't actually serve tea, you can serve the beverages from a tea pot. Tea sandwiches work well as the main meal.
A "Beauty and the Beast" cake finishes off the party by sticking with the theme. For a simple cake, place a Belle figurine on top of an iced sheet cake. Another option is to decorate a book cake. Look for a specialty cake pan shaped like an open book.
Favors
-
Look for themed items that relate to Belle and her story. A "Beauty and the Beast" book works well as a party favor. It ties in the specific theme as well as Belle's love of books. A Belle doll or figurine works well for girls of all ages. Add a tiara into the favor package for a princess connection. "Beauty and the Beast" stickers or temporary tattoos also work well in the party favors.
