We bought sheets at a thrift store and
used spray paint and painted 3 castles for the 3 princesses. And then made book covers for
the books that represent the Personal Progress Book and the scriptures (Preparation for
Queenhood in Six Easy Years and another one entitled Noble Attributes for All, Then a sign
"Toll Free 24hr Tutor Line for Up-and-Coming Princesses, 1-800-2GROW-UP(HAPPY AND
PREPARED)"
We had 3 girls be the princess and act out the story. We had a guy from another ward come
and be the prince. (He was actually the homecoming king and had a crown and the cape.)
Show up wearing modest pajamas. Decorate with pillows, blankets, stuffed animals and
bedroom lamps. Sprinkle reminders of dreams: graduation from school, going to college,
getting married in the temple, having a family, going on a mission, developing talents,
and eventually returning to Heavenly Father, on the tables and hanging from the
ceilingHave the girls explain how each value will help them become the girl of their
dreams
Have the speaker tell a fairy tale (Be the Girl
of Your Dreams) - go to YW, Personal Progress and then New Beginnings)
about princesses, princes and happily ever after, but tie it to how they are princesses,
daughters of a Heavenly King. They must prepare to be Queens and prepare for their
"happily ever after." The books that give practical advice about becoming a
queen are the scriptures and their personal progress book. A toll free 24-hour tutor line
for up-and-coming princesses is available--Prayer. When I told the tale, the princes were
coming home from a two year quest.
Give prayer rocks to the girls to remind them to pray and stay in contact with their
Heavenly Father (someone who knows more about becoming a king or queen than anyone else)
Make castles for each girl out of graham crackers and ice cream cones and decorate them
with candy
Suggested songs: O My Father (#292) Called to Serve (#249--it talks about sons and
daughters of a King) I Am a Child of God (#301) I Know My Father Lives (#302)

Maybe an idea for the front of invitation
Follow Your Dream
Follow your dream...
take one step at a time
and don't settle for less.
Just continue to climb...
Follow your dream...
If you stumble, don't stop
And lose sight of your goal,
Press on to the top.
For only on top...
Can we see the whole view,
can we see what we've done,
and what we can do.
Can we then have the vision
to seek something new...
Press on,
And follow your Dream. By Amanda Bradley

I don't know if
you might want to use this song or not, but I used it a few years ago on the stake level
for our girls camp. And the best part? It's FREE? :D It's a Sally Deford song that you can
download from the internet called "Created in His Image." I had my YCLs learn it
as our spiritual song for camp when we had a princess theme. It's beautiful!! The website
is www.defordmusic.com.
P.S. Here are the lyrics~~
He has given me these hands, formed in the image of his own
He has given me these eyes to see the path of truth that leads me home
And he has given me this voice, and hears each quietprayer I speak
He has given me this heart to feel the unspokenanswers that I seek
Created in his image, nurtured in his care
Sent to earth to learn the noble heritage I bear
Created in his image, his light will be my guide
A heavenly inheritance because I am his child
Hands like his to freely give; hands to make some burden light
Eyes like his to know another's need, as I learn to see with heaven's sight
My voice, like his, may offer hope or bid some tempest, "Peace, be still."
And my heart, like his, can share his perfect love, as my life reflects my Father's will
Created in his image, nurtured in his care
Sent to earth to learn the noble heritage I bear
Created in his image, his light will be my guide
A heavenly inheritance because I am his child
