First, you will need to hand out invitations to guests who will be invited to come to the party. You can make your own cards using scrapbooking or card making techniques, or you can simply print them up on your computer or buy them at your local dollar store. If the sky is the limit with your budget, you could include a pink sleeping beauty asleep dress for each girl that is coming to the party. For boys, you could include a prince cape or prince costume. If you don't include a costume, you will want to make it clear that each child is to wear his or her favorite costume to the party. If adults will be coming to the party, you could request that they dress up as their favorite fairytale or princess character. Believe it or not, there are many places that sell adult princess dresses! You will want to find an adult costume that is machine washable so you can also use it for a Halloween costume. If you would like, you could have an actor from a local theatre company or local college come and play the real sleeping beauty asleep.
