Once Upon A Time Birthday Party

My daughter turned 13! Wow the time has flown by! When we started planning her birthday she decided she wanted to do a Once Upon A Time Party based off the TV series "Once Upon A Time". So, we started scouring the internet trying to find ideas for her party. Most of what we found was toddler fairy tale parties. We needed something a bit more mature.

We did find a few blogs with some good ideas that we were able to use like: Hot Glue and Sparkles , and Once Podcast.

So, here's what we did for Kaia's 13th Once Upon a Time Birthday Party. 

Invitation:  We made our own invites and printed them from the computer. In the invite it asked all party guests to dress as a Once Upon A Time character. Everyone came in costume!

Decorations: We simply looked around the house for anything that fit the fairytale story themes. We also borrowed a few things from others. We have the Jolly Rogers Flag, Tinkerbell music globe, Snow Whites Apple, Cinderella's glass slipper and more.

 We put up some signs so everyone could find their way around Storybrooke & the Enchanted Forest.

We put Welcome to Storybrooke on the door entering the house and Enchanted Forest going to the outdoors.

Wanted signs were posted throughout the forest.

More signs led to the Royal Throne (bathroom) and anywhere else you decided to travel.

Those attending took part in games that tested wit and skill! A Scavenger Hunt, Sword Fighting, Which tale is a lie, and Who did it?

 Foam swords made the game fun and interesting!










The Scavenger hunt took them all over the realm!

Below are the clues from the Scavenger Hunt:

An evil darkness has fallen across the land! You must find the treasure to restore goodness again!

Look for the Willow that Weeps and there you will find the first clue!  (weeping willow tree)

Finding the Ogre

At the bottom of the hill lives an Ogre. Use a little faith, trust and Pixie Dust to receive your 2^nd clue.

Red Riding Hood loves to visit. There you will find the 3^rd clue, but beware the Big Bad Wolf may be around.    (our granny lives next door)

 Search for Snow Whites Apple for your 4^th Clue. But don’t eat the Apple!

 Find Elsa’s favorite place on our property and you shall have your 6^th Clue! (The freezer)

For your Final Clue You Must ask: Mirror Mirror on the wall I need a clue before the fall!

Join the Mad Hatter for a Tea Party and all shall be well!               (The mad hatter had a tea party set up and waiting for them)

The Mad Hatter host a tea party!

 Goodness has been restored to the land, for your bravery you shall receive your just rewards!

The reward was the party goodie bags! 

After all the fun it was time for food!
