When your daughter asks “Mom, can I have a Fancy Nancy party?” You can say yes right away. It’s so easy to plan a Fancy Nancy party! Nancy is a charming character from a book series of the same name. She likes fancy things… clothes, accessories, ice cream and even words. So there’s your party theme and decorating ideas all rolled into one! Tea parties are very elegant occasions and are easy to plan and prepare. Paper doilies are perfect to help you decorate. Use them to make your party invitations. Put them under your teacups just because they look so pretty! Top them with everything from sliced-crust sandwiches to cupcakes or mini cakes! It’s such a simple idea but it works. Well, if you have any more doilies left, you can glue some of them onto helium-filled latex balloons!
All those girls will enjoy a fun party activity and your paper doilies can help you. Use some of the lace-cut paper as part of a craft activity for your party. Let your young ladies make a Victorian card for their parents. Use glitter, glue, and colored paper to decorate the cards. Glue the colored paper to the center of the mat and fold it in half. You have a crescent shaped lace card. Pre-print some poems on the colored paper so your guests just have to decorate and sign them. You can also provide some stickers or clip art that you have printed from your computer for the girls to use as decorations. Homemade cards are very easy to make and a lot of fun to do.
Fancy Nancy loves to dress up! Usually she wears a tiara and shiny shoes, her dresses are ruffled and she has ornaments in her hair…so you can have some lovely shiny gifts for your young tea drinkers. Glitter nail polish or lip gloss, pens, or even socks with lace around the ankles make ideal party favors. A wonderful party favor would be a tiara for every girl… that will make her feel as special as a princess. You can find many party supplies to use with this theme…it’s very popular with girls right now. Plates, cups, napkins, party favor boxes… there’s even a piñata with Fancy Nancy. Buy her supplies or make hers… This is a fun idea for your little girl’s birthday party!
