"I just had to write to tell you how incredibly impressed I was with everything you did for Bridget’s birthday party this week - you have an amazing business and I have received so many compliments from all of the moms that attended the party - they loved it and their girls are all still talking about it! But most importantly, Bridget said it was “the best day of her life” and that just made Chris and I feel so wonderful! Thank you so much! Everything you did for the party was PERFECT...we could not have been happier!! We were also so impressed with Belle - she was so kind to all of the girls and sang so beautifully and interacted with them perfectly. Please thank her again for us! We all just loved it - even my husband was raving about it to all of his co-workers the next day!!! I will definitely call you again next year!! Thanks again, Julie - it was great to work with you.”

"My daughter and I attended Enaiya Smith’s birthday party yesterday and I felt compelled to write and let you know how great your girls and company are. You really helped Angela out of a huge bind and like I told her, you would never know that Once Upon a Princess came in and saved a 4 year old's party. We were there 2 years ago when you did Enaiya’s 2nd birthday and once again it was as great as I remember. Congratulations on running a class operation that is able and willing to help on a moments notice.”

“I was pleased with everything! You have an excellent ability to sense the mood of the crowd and shape the activities accordingly. We were impressed with how you kept everything moving—the girls were involved and excited the whole time. Everything about the party was perfect and more than met my expectations—in fact, exceeded them. We hope to book other parties with you in the future!”

“We were so impressed with you attention to detail and ability to motivate, read and inspire our children and their friends! It was wonderful. Hanna keeps asking, “Now when is Cinderella going to come?!” You knew how to respond to them and when it was enough to move to the next game/craft. We can’t say enough good things! Thanks again!”

“We absolutely loved our visit from our Hawaiian princess for our daughter’s fourth birthday! She made my daughter feel so special and did such a wonderful job of including all of the children at the party! We highly recommend!”
Emily Jacque Sanson
“The children had a wonderful time! They were engaged the entire time. Your girls were wonderful with the little ones. As a parent it was nice to watch instead of running around like a crazy person! I’ve never been so relaxed at one of my children’s parties.”

“As mentioned Liz was excellent and her singing makes her all the better. Even I would believe. It was great to see the girls believe. One mom said to me that she’s never seen her daughter smile so big as when the princess sang!”

FaqFrequently Asked Questions

The hour and a half begins when the princess enters.

A table for arts and crafts. The children can either sit or stand. A space where dancing activities and games can be done. A table (card table) for make-up, face painting, etc. We do not provide the cake, food, or decorations.

Twelve. The final count of the party should include the birthday child so it is 12 total. However, for the Glamour & Spa Parties, the total amount of guests is 8, including the birthday child.

The party should begin at least half an hour before the princess arrives. This leaves enough time for all the guests to arrive before the princess makes her surprise entrance!

Yes, we do.

Some children come in costume. We will still bring dress-up clothes. If you want to request that all your guests come dressed, let us know and we will not bring dress up clothes. Please feel free to ask your guests to wear a leotard or light clothing so they can easily put a dress up dress on.

A space for dancing and arts and crafts.

Yes. We leave about 10 minutes at the end for the children to take off their dress-up clothes and sing happy birthday.

If it is a reasonable temperature the party can be held outside. The princess wig and costume can become very hot, so if it is warmer than 65° F, the party will have to be inside.

We accommodate boys as well. We have boys dress-up (pirate/prince), arts and crafts, face painting and goodie bags. The bags contain either a pirate sword and eye patch (foam) and mask (foam), pirates’ gold and pirate tattoos or prince crown (foam) and mask (foam) with pirate gold and pirate tattoos.

Parents: Should They Stay or Should They Go?
When you’re having a birthday for a child , other parents are always going to be an issue. Depending on you and your party, you may want the parents to either attend with their children or to just drop them off. The question is how do you pass on that information politely and what limits should you expect to set on those parents. Although you can suggest on your invitation for parents to attend, including wording such as “This is a drop off party” or “Please pick your child up at (time)” can come across as rude to some parents. Plus, parents should feel comfortable to stay if they choose. Remember, they don’t know you. However, it’s fine to include wording that encourages parents to stay, such as “Parents welcome to attend,” “Separate Refreshments Available for Parents,” or something along those lines.

Siblings: Are They Automatically Invited?
As parents, we hate to see any of our children feeling left out of something fun, such as a birthday party. However, we have to realize that birthday invitations are meant for the invitee only (unless otherwise specified on the invitation) and possibly a parent. Imagine wha t would happen if every invited person to a party showed up with all of their siblings – the poor party host would run out of refreshments and sanity pretty fast! With that said, many parents will bring younger siblings to parties if they are planning to stay at the party, too. This is why I strongly suggest sending out the invitations early enough so you can request an RSVP, preferably by email or phone so you can contact the person directly to make sure you know how many people will be attending. It’s a little more work for you now, but you won’t have any surprises on the day of the party. While there’s no polite way to exclude siblings on the invitation, if you’re throwing a party and have to pay a per guest fee then you could specify “We are only allowed 15 guests so please let us know as soon as possible if (Name) will be able to attend.” In this way, you are letting the parents know that there is a limit on the number of guests you can have without specifically saying leave your other kids at home.
