Snow White Enchanted FOURest: Fairest in the Woods Party

My youngest daughter wanted to have a Snow White birthday party. Since she was turning 4 years old, I entitled her theme Snow White Enchanted FOURest: Fairest in the Woods Party.

INVITATIONS: I found an image that I liked on Google and placed small forest animals throughout the invitation. I added my wording on the mirror section and included the information of the party on the back. I printed my invitations from Vistaprint.com. I put glittered apple confetti inside the invitations and glued apple die cuts on the envelopes and wrote each guest name on the apple. Of course there were Snow White address labels and stamps for those that had to be mailed.

ATTIRE: My daughter’s pictures were taken at a nearby nature center known for their trails in the deciduous forest. She wore a Snow White costume dress with matching gloves. She also had a Snow White wand. I purchased her Snow White cameo shoes from Ebay.com. She wore her hair in bob braids complimented by a Snow White tiara.

At the party, she wore a white long sleeve shirt under her Snow White inspired corset top and white leggings under the tutu. She had matching Snow White ruffle socks and red Converse tennis shoes with a yellow crown embroidered on the tongue and royal blue ribbon as the shoestrings. She also wore a matching couture headband.

Her big sister wore a Snow White tutu dress with royal blue leggings. She also had matching ruffle socks and red, yellow, and blue Converse tennis shoes with a matching headband. I wore a white Snow White/Prince shirt with my matching Converse shoes and daddy wore a black long sleeve shirt that I made on Zazzle.com. It was a picture of the Seven Dwarfs and the shirt read: It’s my Princess birthday. His shoes matched his shirt as well.

DECORATIONS: Since the theme was Snow White, where would be a good place to host the party? Why a cabin of course! We rented a cabin that was 30 minutes away from our home. The cabin wasn’t that big, so we rearranged the furniture to make it spacious. I placed a welcome sign on the door. A&K Party Pals designed the photo backdrop and balloon columns. I purchased the Wishing Well from shindigz.com.

The Evil Queen set up was displayed in the corner of the room. I purchased a cauldron and poison apple from Etsy.com. I had a black baroque mirror propped against the wall and taped the imprisoned spirit in the center. The Evil Queen doll was beside the mirror and next to that was the spell book. I used an old dictionary and glued burlap on the cover. I printed the Peddler’s Disguise and Poison Apple pages off the computer and glued them inside. I used gold glitter paint and burned the edges of the book to add to the worn look. I made a smaller spell book and painted it black and added plastic spiders and googly eyes, and cotton balls as web.

FOOD: My husband made nachos, more so for the adults. There were Smuckers Uncrustables peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as Gooseberry Pies. We had stick pretzels as wood sticks, a basket of Poison red apples, Sleepy’s Mine Brew (root beer soda and vanilla ice-cream), Dopey’s Doughy Apple Shaped Cookies, Doc’s Well Water, Heart of a Pig heart suckers, M&M’s as treasure, Snow White Cake Pops, a skeleton pitcher of the Evil Queen’s brew (green juice), and the fairest birthday girl’s cake.

ACTIVITIES: Snow White joined the fun and gave the birthday princess two gifts. She then had everyone to color and decorate their crafts with stickers. The girls had tiaras and the boys had masks. After that activity was completed, Snow White told the story of how she met the Seven Dwarfs. She sang, danced, signed autographs and took individual pictures with each guest.

PARTY FAVORS: I purchased the girl gift bags from Orientaltrading.com. They were Fall Festival Apple Kraft Paper Bags that went well with the theme. Inside of the bags were the following items: Snow White headband (bow placed on side or top), a hand held magic mirror, ring, stickers, gold wand, red apple container, burlap snow white bag, ring pop, gum coins, sticky red, yellow and blue treasure, apple crayons, bird whistle, a Snow White coloring book and princess certificate that I made. Each boy had a certificate from the prince. Inside of their moneybag were whistles (while they worked), blue apple crayons, Dwarfs stickers, gum coins and a ring pop from the mine. They also had their Dwarf hats and t-shirts.

The first girl guest to arrive received a Snow White necklace, Snow White chapstick, Snow White hardback book, a wooden jump rope, and a yelllow tutu.

THANK YOU CARDS: I ordered Thank You cards from eBay with my wording. I included pictures the guests took with Snow White and a picture of my daughter.
