The ball is almost here and we are so excited!! The ball will begin with photo opportunities with our host princesses Cinderella and Beauty. If the weather cooperates this will take place outside in the beautiful front lawn of the mansion while we wait for the doors to officially open at 3:00.
At 2:50 the princesses will retreat back into the mansion to make the final preparations and the attendants will open the doors promptly at 3:00.
We will gather in the front entryway/living room foyer area of the mansion for the introduction of each princesses. Princesses attending will be Cinderella and Beauty as our hosts, Snow White, Ariel, Snow Princess, Nordic Princess, Tinker Bell, and the Celtic Princess as the guest of honor but will arrive a bit later. Following the presentation will be a vocal performance from the Snow Sisters. After the introductions are made the Queen will fetch the Celtic Princess so we can surprise her!
After this little bit of fun everyone will find their tables and we will sit down for tea sandwiches followed by sweet treats and birthday cake. While everyone is enjoying their sandwiches all of the princesses will be mingling from room to room so they may greet all of our guests personally. At this time princesses will be available for more photos and some spontaneous songs.
We will conclude with the princesses leading all the children in dancing. The party will conclude at 5:00.
This event is by reservation only and is sold out. All attendees must have a reservation and attendees must be 3 years or older. Children under 3 years will not be admitted.

Why a birthday party invitation and no tickets?
The ball is a surprise birthday party for our Celtic Princess. The theme will be nature inspired because our Celtic Princess loves to be outdoors. Cinderella and Beauty will be our hosts for this event and they have invited their friends Snow White, Ariel, Snow Princess, Nordic Princess, and Tinker Bell.
The ball will be reserved seating and seats will be clearly labeled so we felt that tickets were not necessary. We didn't want families worrying about trying to keep track of tickets. For larger events in the future we may use tickets but we decided to forgo them for this event.
Why does the invitation say presents??
You may have notice a type-o on our invitations this year. it reads "Humbly request the presents of"rather than "Humbly request the presence of" and I couldn't be more embarrassed! Yes it will be staged as a birthday party but no need to bring a gift aka "presents". Please forgive my very silly mistake.
Will parking be a problem?
The Renaissance Mansion is in a historic neighborhood so parking is nearly impossible. Lucky for us, the venue has a standing agreement with the American Red Cross Blood Donation Center next door and they have a very large parking lot that will be open for us to use.
Please comment with any other questions you might have!
