Grandma’s Princess

My daughters weren’t even the birthday girl, but they both felt like they were every bit a princess during the birthday they were invited to.
I was not expecting how well their setup is. They have tons of dresses and jewelry for all the girls to pick from. Even fake hair! They did makeup and fingernail polish too.
The «hostess» was Disney Princess Belle. She did a great job staying in character and she knew how to keep the girls engaged and moved them through the activities at a great pace. My girls hated to leave.
I’m probably going to do this for their birthday’s next year.

Great idea and the owner certainly has a unique idea for the area. After researching, I had a hard time finding something similar. She has a room that is filled with princess dresses; something any little girl would love (even adults). The owner has a helper and you can hire one of the Disney princesses to help, sing, and play games with the girls for about $ 30. We truly had a magical time dressing up, doing makeup, picking out jewelry, and walking on a red carpet to the table to have royal tea. The setup is in the owners home. It’s small, so if you have a large group (10+) this is probably not a good idea. There are real china sets and some breakable around and with excited birthday girls I can see how things might get broken.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the Ariel that we had was somewhat… with lack of a better word, bossy. Perhaps, I am use to Disney World’s magical way of redirecting excited little girls who are 5 and 6 years old. On multiple times, the young lady scolded the girls for being too loud or stopped the music because she said they weren’t listening. I know scolded sounds strong, but that is what it felt like especially for a birthday I was paying for. I can tell you that I am more of a helicopter parent than one who lets my kids run wild, but I kept thinking «Lighten up, they’re 5 or 6. It’s a birthday! They’re excited!» Being loud and laughing is a requirement, not something you should stop and say, «Now, because you were too loud we have to stop playing this game.» I was a little turned off, but I understand there needs to be rules so no one gets hurt. I would have tipped her, but I didn’t at all because she seemed to have no patience what so ever.
Everything else was wonderful, our Disney princess was my only complaint. I would not hire that particular girl again, but would do Grandma’s Princesses again… sans Ariel!
