What to Expect from a 30-Minute Princess Visit

In just 30 minutes, your chosen princess character can create memories that last a lifetime! Here’s what’s typically included in these quick, magical visits:
Princess arrival: The princess will call you when she is on the way and text you when she has arrived. She will park a few houses down or in an inconspicuous location so that the children do not see her entering and exiting her car. If you’d like her to knock or walk in to music, that is completely up to you! Please let the princess know any special arrival instructions the day of the booking. Get your cameras ready! This is almost always when we get the best warm hugs and surprised faces! If your little one is a bit shy, please do not worry. We will get lots of pictures throughout the party.
Magical Photo Opportunity: While you will be able to capture the magic moments throughout the party, it is best to start with posed photos. Please guide your character to the location that you would like to take photos in front of. Sometimes this is the cake table or a backdrop that you have set up. They will then take individual photos, starting with the birthday girl! Your party princess will bring autograph cards and sign her name on one for each child to take home.
Interactive Story time: The adventure begins with an interactive storytime. Our party princesses transport children to magical worlds filled with wonder and excitement, captivating their attention and setting the stage for the princess birthday party festivities ahead. Princesses will often engage with the children by asking them questions, prompting responses, and having them make noises and sounds that go along with the story. Sitting and reading the story allows for the children to adapt to meeting their favorite princess in person! It can definitely be overwhelming and the princess will often let them touch their dress, gloves, cape, etc if they wish.
Sensational Sing-a-long: Get ready to sing and dance to the songs you all know and love! The party princess will have a set list of 1-2 songs but if you have any special requests, please make sure we know at least one week before the party in your Pre-Party Questionnaire. Our characters do not have live singing into a microphone. Instead, they will be engaging the kids and interacting with them. They will do iconic moves from the movies like ice hands, dreamy twirls, and more and will encourage your little ones to follow along with them! Holding hands and dancing in a circle is also a crowd pleasing moment full of excited giggles and happy smiles!
