4. Have a princess dress-up activity at your party
If the birthday girl is dressed as Princess Tiana, how to make all the other guests feel included? Invite them to participate in a game of dress-up at dress-up studio in downtown Oakland, CA! It’s billed as perfect for small birthday parties and the costumes come in a wide variety of sizes so everyone can participate.
One reviewer of this party venue wrote, “This space was perfect for a small get together or bday party. Hosts were helpful and didn’t hover.” Another said, “Amazing location!! Loved all the options and we took amazing pictures. Thank you.”

5. Have a princess photoshoot
Whether the guests play dress-up at the party or you ask them to arrive at the party already dressed in costume (be sure to mention this in the invitations if it’s part of the party), either way, this kind of party is an ideal opportunity for a photoshoot. Everyone will love the photos, so printing some extra copies as a party favor would be another great “Princess and the Frog” party idea.
6. Or a “Princess and the Frog” photo booth
If you don’t want to go to the trouble of having a full photoshoot, the alternative is to set up a simple photo booth at the party using a “Princess and the Frog” frame. For instance, you can purchase a custom frame on this party theme from Joyful Kids Decor on Etsy. Then have your guests hold the frame up in front of them and take lots of photos, which you can print and send home with the guests.
7. Put up a “Princess and the Frog” balloon arch
You can find extremely affordable kits for “Princess and the Frog”-themed balloon arch/garland kits, like this one that’s less than $20 on Amazon. For that price, you get an impressive piece of decor that suits your party’s color scheme and creates an eye-catching visual centerpiece for the party wherever you need one.
8. Send out “Princess and the Frog” party invitations
For this “Princess and the Frog” party idea, simply choose your favorite on-theme invitations (like these ones from Clipz and Snipz, which you can print instantly) and send them out to everyone on your guest list. We’d recommend sending your invites out well in advance of the date of the party to ensure as many invitees as possible can make it.
9. Consider having the party in an all-purple space
If you’re located near Brooklyn, NY, save yourself a bit of decorating effort and have the party at this purple magical palace in Bedford-Stuyvesant. It’s a large space measuring a total of 2,000 square feet, and it can accommodate as many as 60 people, so it’s an ideal venue option if you’re having a larger birthday party. There are also three bathrooms, which your guests will certainly appreciate, as well as cool portraits and other artwork decorating the space.
