Princess Night

The end of last year, Lily and Aaron told me about an activity that their young women did which was a princess night that the young women in their ward put on for the activity day girls and they talked about how much fun it was. I brought the idea to my young women in January when we had our planning meeting and they loved it and were so excited. May was finally the month that it happened and it was SO much fun and such a great activity. All my young women loved it and I loved seeing the smiles on our activity day girls. My secretary made the cutest fairy tale invitation and the week before our princess night, we had our young women decorate envelopes and then each young women was assigned an activity day to give an invitation to. We decided on doing it very girly and pink. My counselor did great with the decorations and making it sparkly and pink. All my presidency did "tea party" desserts and each of our young women got fairy wings to wear since they were the fairy godmothers.

We had three different stations that each activity day girl went to: hair station where they got their hair done along with choosing a crown, then we had a make up station where we had some face painting crayons with simple designs and then some sparkle eye shadow and they each got to pick a lip gloss or chapstick to take home, and last was a nail station where they got their nails painted and I got some fun rings that each of them got to choose from.

I also got these super cute mirrors that each activity day girl got at the end of the activity. The quote on it says: "I am a daughter of a King who is not moved by the world. For my God is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His!"

At the beginning the activity day girls started on the stage and got to write their names on a bag that they could put their things in that they got throughout the night. Then Bishop was there dressed up as a king and he escorted each of the activity days to the stairs to start off our fun night. The smiles on the girl's faces was so cute. They loved this special moment!

Then I had a semicircle of soft chairs that the girls sat on and then I divided them up between the three stations. They were at each station for about 15 minutes and then would rotate to the next one. The young women had chosen beforehand what station they would prefer and they were amazing. They were great at visiting with each activity day girl they were working with and were so attentive and caring. 

Our group of "fairy godmothers"- they are such a great group of young women and so fun to work with!

Our beautiful princesses! At the end, I had each of them look in a mirror to see themselves for the first time and asked them to say one word to describe how they were feeling. The most common one was happy along with pretty and beautiful. It was my favorite part of the evening! Seeing their joy and seeing their feeling of confidence and beauty was so magical.
