Even fairies need a sweet drink to get them through the day sometimes. This blog post from Wayside Treasures shares some of their wonderful ideas for a fairy party. We particularly love the “Fairy Fizz” – a mixture of 7up and pink lemonade that would be a cute addition to any fairy party.

8. Bring home memories with a photo booth

Since you’re likely to have everyone in their adorable fairy costumes, why not commemorate the occasion with a photo booth? It’s a great way for your guests to get a physical memento from the party that they can proudly display afterward.

On Peerspace, you’ll find hundreds of spaces that already have photo booths, like Chez Lister. This beautiful mid-century home in Los Angeles would be an incredible location to see all your fairy party ideas come true.

Like many of the listings on Peerspace, this one has valuable feedback from people who have already booked the space. Chez Lister has dozens of glowing five-star reviews like this one: “This space was amazing! I booked it for a Halloween themed birthday party for 25 people and it was perfect. Kirsty was super accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process of booking and during the party. Would definitely book this place again!”

9. Invite a fairy godmother

When we think of fairies, we typically think of something closer to Tinkerbell. However, we’d had to leave out the iconic fairy godmothers! Having one at your party is a great addition that all of the little ones will surely appreciate. Need a costume? Try this blue fairy godmother costume from Fairy Godmother for Hire’s Etsy page.

10. Go big with a party supply pack
