Patch #ROYAL-ball : $1.50
Have
a dance or an event. Decorations could include participants
decorating their crowns or septers. See below for some quick
ideas.
Focal
point coming into the event: Using poster board, several
pieces taped together, creating an arch walk through. Trim
the top to create an arch at the top. Cover the poster board
with stars, flowers (made of construction paper, tissue paper,
or fake ones), crowns, septers, glitter, white horse, glass
slippers, pumpkin, prince, and/or frogs. You can purchase
some fake flowers at the dollar store or make them out of
tissue paper. For extra, you can attach jewels/rhinestones
for extra bling! Attach it around the doorway with packing
tape. {You may want to create it in two separate pieces so
you can transport it to your event.}
For
extra, you can cut out various "Royal" themed items
from poster board (see above) or make a castle and place it
on the bottom of the arch.
Attire:
For this event you can wear a nice dress, tiara/crown (template
available in England or Once Upon a Time kits), fancy hair,
jewels--anything for your night with your prince or princess!
Decorations
inside the facility: Decorations could include participants
decorating a glass slipper, crown, stars, frog, septer/wand,
moon, and/or tiara. You can create them out of construction
paper and/or poster board. For extra, you can add glitter
or rhinestones for extra bling. Each group could receive a
pattern for the decoration. Collect the decorations at the
next meeting before the dance. Before the guests arrive tape
them on the wall behind the tables. Personal touch yet very
festive. Cuts down on cost for the event as well.
Refreshments:
Festive tablecloths in various or all the same colors (red,
pink, blue, gray, purple) should be used to cover the table.
Place a plastic basket of chocolates (be aware of allergies!),
cookies, and/or candies on each table with a "vase"
with a wand with a star at the end of it (template available
in Once Upon a Time Kit) with the group's name on it or flowers
paired with it. Flowers can be real, fake (found at craft
stores or dollar stores), or tissue paper. Water bottles can
be placed on each table with princess/royal stickers on them.
Use a piece of cardstock folded over to place on each table
with the name of the group.
Extra:
Take photos of each group or if it is a parent/daughter event
take pictures of couples. A backdrop could be a black sheet
with stars attached to it. You can also stamp flowers or metallic
royal items on the fabric as well or stencil the lettering
"Royal Ball" on the backdrop. You could also have
a castle or other various items (horse, carriage, nice chairs,
etc.) and/or have the child hold flowers, a wand/septer, or
a frog. Child sits on stool and parent stands.
