If you don't want to make a fairy costume then make this your first port of call for wings and other things and the cutest fairy costumes around - I think so anyway!
* Fairy party Invitations *
Your invitations could go something like this:
In the land of the fairies on top of a hill (there are pixies there too)
sits a little fairy friend who is waiting for you.
Her birthday is near and she wants you to say that you will share in the magic on her very special day.
Please put on your wings or dress your fairy best and let the fairy godmother do the rest.
Make the invitation into a scroll and tie with colored ribbon
Make little organza bags and place the invites inside
Make your own invites out of plain card and then go wild with the glitter and stick on jewels. Punch a hole in the side and thread some ribbon through.

Ask the little girls to come in their "FAIRY BEST" and the little boys (if there are any!) to come as Peter Pan or pixies and elves.
When they arrive have some magical fairy dust to sprinkle on them as they cross the threshold into fairyland. You could at this stage give the girls fairy crowns or flower head bands and the boys peter pan hats or green sparkly bow ties, or you could save that for the end of the fairy party.
Making a fairy party costume can be great fun but it can also be time consuming or difficult depending on your creative skills. Below are a few you can buy that might give you ideas.

* Fairy Party Decorations *
Twinkle, twinkle little star…..yes you need lots of sparkle and glitter to create just the right magical atmosphere.
Dedicate one room or area to be the fairy grotto and go wild with fairy lights, paper flowers, pretty butterflies and anything that adds a magical and mystical touch.
Erect a simple garden arch at the fairy party entrance. Cover it with fairy lights and paper flower garlands. Have the fairy godmother ("You"!) standing in front of it ready to sprinkle some magical dust onto the guests as they walk through the arch. This will transform them into fairies of course.
Play dreamy music in the background such as "Swan lake" or "Dance of the sugar plum fairy".
If using outside, pick a wooded area whereby you can make a secret garden. Set up a tea party area using tree trunks as stools and set up a miniature tea set. Sprinkle saw dust on the ground and mix in a little glitter – kids love this.
Decorate the trees with flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, fairies, and other woodland creatures in and around it.
Suspend a large colored mosquito net from the ceiling to give the room the effect of being a grotto. Attach colorful butterflies and paper flowers to it and also twinkling Christmas tree lights.
Decorate in colors such as pinks, purples and greens. Add lots of glitter and sparkle

* Fairy party food *
Decorate the food table with streamers, flowers and glitter. Lay a length of white or pink tulle down the center of the table. Spray paint pieces of MDF in silver or metallic pink/purple and sprinkle with glitter and use as placemats, Have a tiara or crown on each chair with the child's name on it.
Alternatively have a picnic in a secret fairy garden that you have decorated with paper flowers, butterflies and twinkling fairy lights. Decorating the party table is relatively easy as there are plenty of fairy party goodies available.
Fairy Wands Long pretzel sticks dipped in melted chocolate and then covered in sprinkles.
Fairy Fizz Pink lemonade
Fairy Nectar Any colored punch poured into glasses and decorated with plastic flowers and fruit pieces and topped with colored ice cubes
Pixie {unch Make a green fruity punch with lime sherbet balls and ginger ale
Fairy cup cakes Buy or make plain cup cakes. Carefully slice off the tops horizontally. Cut the tops in half to form the fairy wings. Place a small blob of icing on top of the cakes and replace the wings setting them in an upright position. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
Teeny weenie sandwiches Cut off crusts and use tooth picks to eat them
Ballerina Tutus Pink meringues filled with pink cream and sprinkles
Fairy Bread Lightly butter white bread, spread with lots of sprinkles and cut into triangles.

* Fairy party activities *
Magic wands In advance make some star shapes out of very strong craft card which you have sprayed gold. Get the kids to decorate them with glitter and jewels. Then glue each star to a length of dowel. Let dry fully and then cast your fairy spell!
Fairy beautiful Have the "Fairy Godmother" paint the little fairies nails and put some washable glitter spray in their hair. Finish with a dab of blusher and some lip gloss.
Fairy cupcakes Make or bus some plain cup cakes. Provide loads of different colored sprinkles, silver balls and other cake toppings and get the kids decorating.
Jewelry boxes Ask your local shoes shop for any spare shoes boxes. Give one to each guest and let them decorate with glitter, colored feathers, stick on gems and marker pens. The kids can use the boxes to store their goodies and prizes from the party.
Amazing amulet Cut a stack of circles out of strong white card. Punch a hole in the top and thread with gold darning thread. Give the kids fairy stickers and glitter and ask then to decorate them. The 'Fairy Godmother' can then place it round the child's neck and at the same time, she can grant a special fairy wish of protection.

* Fairy Party Games *
Find the Fairies Print off or photocopy some pictures of fairies. Stick them onto string card and cut out. Punch a hole in the top and thread with pink ribbon. Hide the fairies around the garden or house and see who can find the most fairies.
Musical Flowers This is a version of musical chairs but instead of using chairs, use flowers which you have cut out from card and painted. Lay these on the floor and put the music on. Tell the fairies that if you play the musical loudly then they must rush around the room, but if the music is quiet then they must flutter gracefully about the room. When the music stops the last one to stand on a flower is out of the game but they do get to choose a small fairy gift. You could also use paper lily pads for this game instead of flowers
Tooth toss Collect a load of wine bottle corks and paint then white. Also prepare a couple of small baskets that you have decorated with flowers and hung from a tree. See who can then toss the most teeth into the baskets and for every tooth in the basket they get a chocolate golden coin.
The fairies missing wardrobe In advance make or buy various items of fairy clothing such as a wand, pixie hat, crown, shoes, flower garland and so on. Have a set of items for each team of children. Give the kids a list (pictures might be better) of items to find and the first one to finish gets to choose a fairy gift
Fairy trail This is best for outdoors. In advance prepare a magical trail which the kids need follow. Tell them that the fairies have been in your garden and you think that they have left a special gift for all the children but you are not sure where it is. Ask the kids to look for clues in the garden that might lead to the gift. For instance you could lay a path of glitter or glass pebbles; put small plastic insects on the trees; leave small paper foot prints on the ground or leave a trail of plastic flowers. When they get to the end of the trail have a magical chest set up and filled with goodies.
Piñata Having a piñata is always a great success at kids parties. Need one quickly?.....

Did you know......Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, was one hundred years old in December 2004. The Peter Pan story was written by James M. Barrie who was born in Scotland in 1860. He told his first Peter Pan stories to the sons of his dear friend Sylvia Llewellyn Davies. In 1904, Peter Pan made its stage debut and was a huge success. Barrie then turned it into the novel "Peter Pan" (originally titled 'Peter and Wendy') in 1911. He died in 1937.
