Ideas for the party:

Color Schemes: You could use a couple of different color schemes when planning this party.  You could use blue and green or use mardi gras colors (green, purple and gold)

Games/Activities:

  • Crown toss – Have the guests see if they can throw the crown on a royal thrown.
  • Jewel Hunt – Give the guests a purse or decorated bag and have them search for the royal jewels.
  • Decorate tiaras or make mardi gras masks

Party Food:

  • Facilier’s Evil Potion. Make a green punch (lime aide and ginger ale)
  • Mama Oldie’s Good Potion (pink lemonade)
  • Beignets or  …powdered donuts!
  • Diner food (like where Tiana is a waitress) Burgers, fries, etc.

Favors:

  • Have a candy bar in the color scheme that you are using.  Make a sign to “Make Your Own SWEET Gumbo” and let the kids fill up cups or bowls full of candy to take home.
  • Princess Wand
  • Fill a bag full of gummy frogs and Hershey’s Kisses.
