Woodland Fairy Party Decorations
First and foremost, let’s chat about magical Woodland Fairy party decor ideas. From mossy table runners to fluttering butterflies, these delightful decorations will transform any space into a mystical woodland paradise, perfect for an enchanting and memorable birthday party. So, let your imagination take flight as we explore these captivating ideas to bring the magic of the forest to life!
The table decor is one of the staple items of any party. The Dollar Tree has tablecloths and dinner ware in nearly every color imaginable. Green, pink and gold is the perfect color combination for a fairy themed party.
For centerpieces, take your pick of flowers and use some moss accents in between. Odds always look better so choose either one big centerpiece or three (maybe a big one in the middle with two smaller ones on the outside). The Dollar Tree sells vases too, or use one from your home to save extra. These beautiful flowers/butterflies can also add a whimsical touch to the overall look.
Next, adorn your table setting with color coordinating cups, napkins, plates and utensils. Setting each place for your little fairy party guests gives a better overall look than leaving items at the food table. You can purchase extra fairy wings (or use the ones you will give to the guests) to tie to the backs of chairs for an added touch of magic. Alternatively, hang wings over the table to make it extra special. Mix in streamers, floral garlands or tiny flowers, fairy lights or make tissue paper pom poms for an even grander look.

No fairy party is complete without dress up clothes for the guests and lots of glitter. The Dollar Tree has fairy wings, tutus, tiaras and wands, all at an affordable rate. Altogether, you can expect to spend $3-5 per guest and give them a complete outfit to take home.
Garden Fairy Party Ideas & Activities
Activities for the kids are also incredibly important when planning an enchanted fairy party. After your guests are dressed in their fairy attire, next use some glitter eyeshadow to make them sparkle.
The Dollar Tree also sells foam fairy wands (though they don’t appear available for purchase on their website, but I took a picture of them at our local store). These wands are the perfect activity to let the kids decorate and get creative with, especially with these adhesive craft stickers.
Another great activity is painting nails. Little girls LOVE having their nails painted and it’s a great addition to any kid’s party. So grab a few fun, fairy colors from the make-up aisle and maybe some loose glitter, nail stickers or press on rhinestones to accent their mini manicure.
Easy DIY Tutorial for Fairy Hair Extensions
Fairy hair is a fun and easy way to add sparkle! Fairy hair is basically thin tinsel strips that are tied into the hair. The tinsel is super cheap and comes in TONS of colors. This is a great activity addition to any fairy party. Follow the simple tutorial below to learn how to do it yourself.

A few more tips to save money….
Keep your guest count low! Don’t invite your daughter’s entire class. Keeping it to 8-10 guests really makes the environment more enjoyable for you and also your guests.
Plan your enchanted fairy party outdoors (if the weather permits). A fairy party is perfectly set against a natural background. The more you can use nature for decoration the less you have to spend to make the space look the part.
Use what you have! If you have rustic decor in your home, use it! Does your daughter already have fairy toys, outfits, or dress up clothes? Use them! The more you incorporate what you already have the less you have to spend.
