A white backdrop is a must for a fairies party. Search local fabric stores for white tulle, organza and other soft fabrics to drape over furniture or hang on party room walls, for a soft and dainty atmosphere. If you don’t happen to have enough white fabric to drape your existing chairs, then peruse your local bargain shops for some plain white chairs, which will work just as well.

Ask guests to wear their best fairy whites. Source reasonably priced fairy wings, tiaras and feather boas at bargain shops and allow your guests to dress up as they arrive. The outfits can be taken home later as a party gift.

Create a fantasy wonderland by stringing Christmas stars, silver and gold tinsel and fairy lights around the room. Then add helium balloons in silver, white and pale pink for the ultimate fairy paradise.

Use silver and white plates, serviettes, cups and cutlery to make your brightly coloured party food stand out. Sprinkle star sequins, feathers and glitter around the table settings. Use red, pink and white colours for all your food including jellies, snacks, drinks and fruit, to complete the fairy effect.
