A Tribute to the Real Heroes of Movies

As I’m sure all of you Disney fans know, this week Disneyland celebrated its 60th Anniversary and this year we celebrate 75 years of Disney Princess stories. The Fairy Godmothers over here at Official Princess Parties are basking in the magic!

With all these celebrations and the 88th Oscars coming up on Sunday, I thought now would be a great time for a little tribute to the wonderful heroes of the movies: those teams of animators, composer, musicians, editors, script writers, etc., etc., that work behind the scenes to make all of our dreams come true!

Check out this amazing montage of some of our favourite Disney Magic moments!

 

 

Happy Birthday Princess Claudia!

Princess Claudia started with Official Princess Parties last year in January, in Ottawa’s west-end and has been an absolute dream addition.

Not only is she an active team member and partakes in every photoshoot and cast event possible, the enthusiasm she brings to new and unique characters is always enviable and amazing.

Today we shall wish this blonde beauty and very magical birthday!!!

Here are some of my personal photo favs:

Top 5 Events in 2015

Happy New Years and hello 2016!

This was a crazy, fun and busy year at Official Princess Parties. Hosting over 1000 birthdays, events and charitable causes, it was tricky to narrow down our favs. After getting some help from our cast members and admin staff, we have picked our top 5 most memorable moments of 2015!

5- Princess Photoshoot

We had an absolute blast this past summer bringing together all of our Ottawa, Kingston and Brockville ladies for a photo shoot with one of our past princesses, the talented Allie Mckendry! Our ladies volunteered their time for hours to pose in all areas of the Ottawa Arboretum, and boy did it pay off! Allie had such a knack for capturing the honest beauty of each of our princess performers. The images are absolutely breathtaking!

4- CHEO Champion presentation
One of our absolute favourite moments of 2015 was when three of our princess party performers got the chance to visit CHEO and name little Hodan as this year’s CHEO champion. Here are some kind words from one of her nurses:
“Today could not have been more beautiful, perfect and flawless, without your help. Thank you so much to your princesses for donating your time, the princess dress and your talents in surprising our little Hodan as the next CHEO Champion.

3- The Fairytale Boutique Grand Opening 
After years of searching for the perfect location, we were finally able to open Ottawa’s premier children’s boutique and party venue on September 19th. Since our grand opening, we have been astounded by the kind welcome we have received from the lovely town of Manotick, Ontario, and have loved every moment in our gorgeous venue. If you haven’t yet, be sure to pop by 5560 Manotick Main Street, to check out our two lovely party rooms.

2- The Toronto Royal Ball

Each year we are proud to send our Toronto Princess performers to “The Princess Ball” in support of Wishes for Olivia. We cannot possibly describe the joy we feel each year supporting this amazing cause, and we cannot wait to take part in their “Bravery” ball this April. Tickets are still available. Check out http://www.theprincessball.com/ for info and we’ll see you there.

1- Ottawa Princess Tea Party

This is by far one of our favourite images ever taken here at Official Princess Parties. Pictured are three of our most senior performers (Sarah- Cinderella, Erica- Rapunzel, and Katie- Snow White), and our performer manager (Jaclyn- Sleeping Beauty). These princess performers have been with us for over a decade when their years of service are combined, and they have made hundreds, if not thousands of little girls’ dreams come true! When we look at this picture it is like looking at a picture of your all-time favourite classic celebrities- to us, these ladies are everything ❤

(If your little one doesn’t have Shopkins on the top of their wishlist this holiday season, I would be super surprised! As soon as we brought these adorable and unique bubble bead necklaces into the shop, they instantly became a hugely popular seller. The gorgeous Cupcake Queen jeweled pendant is pure sparkly magic, and the hand beaded necklace is colorful and so much fun. Although this item is currently out of stock, a few more will be returning come 2016. Stay tuned, so you don’t miss out!)

Themed Gift Boxes – Princess $29

(The proven number one gift for the kid who has it all! These wall hangings are absolute treasures and a great alternative to toy gift options. Handmade in shop, these wall hangings are made by meticulously hand-cutting printed vinyl and applying it the selected fabric. Garnished with handcrafted felt bows or flowers and finally finished with the receivers name. Simply choose a character, color of fabric and you’re on your way. It is that easy!)

Minnie Mouse Tutu Dress – $31

(Talk about cuteness overload! After finding this dress on Instagram, I searched high and low to find a supplier. Weeks of searching finally lead to some success! Although it’s been nearly impossible to keep stocked in shop, we will be getting a few more in various sizing come 2016. Stop by the shop to pick up some matching accessories, like hair bands and tights!)

Thanks again to everyone for your support! Looking forward to a fresh start and another magical year at The Fairytale Boutique!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all of you ❤
