English Tea and Princess Baby Showers
Madison the Princess
Hi! You know, it has been a while since I have updated these pages. I really need to dust somethings, and chase the loose ends that I was working on when last we met. Actually that is just what I have been doing for the last couples of weeks. BUT you know how I am, super procrastination.
Well, well, well, my lovely loyal subjects! Back for more, are you? I can hear your horse-drawn carriages clattering up the cobblestones already. Or maybe that's just the neighbor mowing at 7 a.m. again (sir, nap time is sacred—do you want a curse placed upon your weed whacker?).
Anyway. Today is a very good day for princesses. A positively resplendent day. Why? Because we are talking PRINCESS BABY SHOWERS. The kind where everything is iridescent and shimmery, and the cupcakes have so much pink frosting you fear for the grout between your tiles. Every bottle, every rattle, every little onesie comes with a tiny invisible tiara perched atop. Holy sht! Even the diaper cake is blushing with bashful pearls.
Let’s be real: this is not about baby registry must-haves. This is about a little bit of wish fulfillment. Because every pregnant mama deserves at least one day where she gets to swan around in a plastic crown, eat an entire tray of petit fours, and be told her ankles look dainty, even if they are currently the size of enchanted pumpkins (been there, swollen that).
And the invitations? Fricken cute. Scrolls! Glitter! Maybe a unicorn sticker if you’re feeling spicy. Who decided “keep it simple” was a good guideline for princess showers? Not me, your local duchess of extra.
So tell me—what magical wonders are you planning? Or do you just come for the confetti and mini sandwiches? (No shame. Me too.)
Princess Baby Shower Invitations
Have you ever just… stopped? Like at the sink, toothbrush in your mouth, eyes glazed over, thinking, “Geh, how do I baby shower?” The existential dread is real. Are there rules?! Are there tiny royal decrees I missed while binge-watching Bridgerton and eating an entire sleeve of Oreos?
If it’s a princess baby shower, then yes. There are rules. And sparkles. And things with so many tiny pearls glued to them that you start to wonder if anyone is thinking about choking hazards but, you know, in a whimsical way.
Now, invitations. Sweet baby cherubs, let me hold your tiara. Because everyone THINKS invitations are easy. It’s just paper, right? But you write the word “princess” and suddenly people expect a scroll dipped in moonlight, sealed with a unicorn hoof. Actually you can have all of this if you so desire, because, princess baby shower invitations can be easy not to mention fun and customized to your taste. Heck, they don't even have to be expensive but with some simple touch ups you can make them seem that way. (Or at least one of those wax seals that looks expensive but is, in fact, hot glue and a prayer.)
Here's what you really need: ONE—tell people who you are. Unless you live in a castle, they’ll need to know which driveway to block with their minivans. TWO—the time. No one wants little Evie arriving three hours early in her polyester tutu (IYKYK). THREE—theme clarity. “Princess” can mean pink explosions or a sophisticated fairy party where everyone wears invisible crowns and pretends to sip tea. Specify or risk an actual costume mutiny.
Themes for Princess Baby Shower Invitations
Do you want to know a secret? (Lean in, I’m whispering like a fairy godmother at nap time.) Princess doesn’t have to mean frilly pink everything. Holy sht! You can toss some sapphire and emerald in there. Going for renaissance royalty with velvet crowns? Yessss, Queen. Baby Elsa, maybe? Or a leafy “Woodland Princess” who befriends squirrels and makes tiny tea parties in the backyard with mushrooms as tables? STOP. I’m in love already and I haven’t even had my coffee.
Invitations, darling, are the spell that starts it all. Think about it: the moment your guests open that envelope—with its touch of glitter, or a little ribbon, or a wax seal if you’re really tryna flex—they know what’s up. They get the VIBE. You’re not out here settling for “generic princess;” you are conjuring a kingdom, and you’re demanding (nicely) that everyone bring their best glass slippers or enchanted forest vibes.
I still remember when I saw an invitation that was a tiny paper carriage. I almost died of cuteness. (Resuscitated only by cake.) The invite MATTERS. Set the tone. Be playful. Go wild.
Want to do a dragon-taming princess? Or pirate princess? Do it. Your princess baby shower invitations are the parade float announcing, “This baby is about to have a magical time and so help me, everyone’s gonna cry happy tears.”
And honestly? Have fun. Put a little sparkle in your voice and your envelope glue. Leave a trail of glitter for the postal worker. (Sorry, Jeff.) That’s the secret. That’s how you baby shower, royal-style.
The Baby Shower for Little Princesses
Okay, so here’s something that might get me banished from the sparkly kingdom of baby shower bloggers forever: planning a "princess" baby shower? It’s not really that different from planning any other baby shower.
I know, I know. Heresy. Where’s my tiara, right? (Here it is!)
Hear me out, though! I swear, every time I utter the phrase “princess baby shower,” it’s met with this unspoken expectation of hand-beaded pillows and at least one live unicorn. Or—at the bare minimum—frosting with the structural integrity of Cinderella’s glass slipper. People get pressed! But truthfully? Once you get past the pastel avalanche, we’re all ordering the same mini sandwiches and Googling “best invitations for baby showers” at 11:07 p.m., with a half-eaten cupcake as our emotional support.
Don’t get me wrong. I adore watching people lose their minds over decorations. I will personally waltz through the party store, trailing tulle like a Disney extra who missed her cue. Pink everywhere! Gold crowns perched on cupcakes! The same classic games (“Don’t Say Baby,” again, lol) repackaged in fairytale fonts.
But under all that castle-shaped confetti, it’s the same sweet stuff: people who love you showing up with questionable diaper cakes and slightly soggy hugs. Even the invitations, despite my life’s obsession, are just the sparkly envelope around the real magic—your people, celebrating your new little royal.
Real talk: every baby is already royalty. And so are you, babe.
Tips for the Princess
Princess Baby Shower Planning Tips
Okay, real talk: after three weeks of me going on and on (and ON) about princess baby shower invitations—like, inspecting fonts so curly they might sprout tiaras, glitter that migrates onto your groceries, pink organza tied so tight the bow’s basically a tourniquet…I just have to admit something. Here it is. Deep breath:
It’s all the same stuff, friends. It’s. All. The. Same.
Shocking, right? Oops, did I just get glitter in your eye? Lol, let me fetch a wipey. Because HONESTLY, whether I’m calling this a “Princess” baby shower or a “Snuggle Bug” bash or “Welcome, Queen of Diaper Mountain!” the planning is basically the same. Cake? Yes. Games? Sometimes regrettably yes. Tiny sandwiches? If you don’t have a tray of them, are you even showering at all?
Oh, invitations? Slap a crown sticker on and boom—royalty achieved. (Don’t let the stationery gods strike me down for saying that.)
The magic isn’t the castle graphic or that pink tulle train trip hazard. The real sparkle? It’s the “holy moly, you’re having a baby” heart-thumping excitement and the people who haul their butts (and their Target gift bags) to celebrate it with you. Yes, even Aunt Dotty who still calls you “Pumpkin.”
Write whatever you want on the invitations. Make ‘em as glitzy, flowery, or simple as your heart dares. You absolutely cannot mess up a celebration that starts and ends with love—no crown necessary.
The Disney Princess
Okay, real question, how the heck do Disney princesses manage to look flawless while traipsing through forests, running from evil stepmothers, or, you know, being literally cursed? I step on a Lego once and cry for hours. And don’t even talk to me about my hair post-nap. Tangled, where are you at? Can you send me some hair magic, STAT?
But here’s the tea—Disney princesses are straight up the superstars of princesses. I mean, Aurora falls asleep for her entire movie and STILL, somehow, she’s a style icon, glossed lips and all. And Tiana? Sis built a restaurant from scratch between frog-hopping and singing about gumbo. These ladies are the Beyoncé of fantasy royalty, and I just don’t know how to process that most days.
Every princess has her own flavor. Cinderella: a little vintage, a lotta shimmer. Belle: books and brains, with just enough yellow for sunshine days. Ariel? Spicy little rebel with fins and enough drama to warrant her own reality TV show—"Keeping Up with the Crustaceans," anyone?
So planning a Disney princess baby shower—whew. It’s not just about pink bows slapped on cupcakes. It’s about mixing adventure, dreams, and just a tiny bit of fairy dust.
Seriously, if the baby inside you doesn’t get a whiff of Jasmine’s independence, Elsa’s power, and Moana’s wild heart...did you even have a baby shower?
LOL. Let me know which princess you’d pick for your shower. And yes, glitter is basically a food group here.
