My daughter requested a “Cinderella and Camping” party to celebrate her 6th birthday. It was an interesting mix of princess girliness with outdoorsy fun, and Jenna and I had a great time thinking up ways to combine the themes. In the end, our backyard was filled with girls in tutus, boys wielding swords, a bonfire and a glittery pink horse. I’m hoping we look back on this one as the year mom nailed it! Happy Birthday, Jenna!
Today I’m sharing our camp menu:
Enchanted Trail Mix
We set up a create-your-own-trail-mix bar for party guests to assemble their own camping snack. The bar included:
- Popcorn
- Pretzels
- Granola
- Chocolate-covered almonds
- Cranberries
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Cashews
- Pink, blue and white M&Ms
Cinderella S’mores
No camping adventure would be complete without s’mores! Despite 80 degrees temperatures, all of our campers were up for sitting around a camp fire, roasting pink and white marshmallows and making traditional s’mores. I purchased these extra long roasting skewers to keep everyone a good distance from the heat.
Cake and Princess Punch
After making a practice cake a few weeks ago and experimenting with marshmallow fondant and natural dyes, I ended up purchasing two cakes and decorating them myself with pre-made fondant. For drinks, we served strawberry lemonade (aka Princess Punch).

My Second Comment…in the right place this time. Your party had all that is good about being a princess who loves to camp.
Horse Riding in the Royal Forest, showing your guest the Royal tour, a stop over in a pink palace tent, wearing the crown jewels and much more.
At any given moment I can appear in London, England. Thanks be to mom.
Such a cute party!
Thank you, Amanda!
