The main inspiration for this Disney bridal shower theme will be Cinderella and her fairy tale story. For more general ideas, see the Disney Bridal Shower Theme page.

There are beautiful professionally printed Disney bridal and wedding invitations available. However, these tend to be costly per invitation or have a high minimum order number. Using invitations that feature a portion of the story, that is not Cinderella herself may be more cost effective. Consider Cinderella inspired invitations with pumpkins, shoes, tiaras, or castles.

There are several Cinderella paper dies, punches, and stamping tools available for creating hand made character invitations.

Decorate with light blue, silver, and white/ivory for tablecloths, napkins, and other basic party items.

Pumpkin centerpiece ideas:

• Arrange flowers in hollowed-out pumpkins or drill individual holes in pumpkins and insert a single flower into each hole.
• Create this Carriage Pumpkin from a small, white craft pumpkin using instructions from Michaels.com.
• Carve pumpkins using Cinderella stencils. Huggies.com has five free Cinderella pumpkin stencils, in the shape of Cinderella, Lucifer the cat, one of each mouse(Jacques and Gus), and a castle. Stencils can be used on fresh or faux craft pumpkins. Using craft pumpkins would allow you to complete the carvings weeks prior to the shower. Craft pumpkins usually appear in stores, such as Michael's, from August through November. If this is out of season for your shower, check Goodwill stores.

Use blue birds in decorations. Craft these Pom-pom birds from Disney Family Entertainment.

Add spools of thread, scissors, birds, and mice to create a sewing basket centerpiece to recreate the sewing scene from the movie.

Sprinkle tablecloths with glitter and star confetti to look like Fairy Godmother magic dust.

Place a toy magic wand in the center of the table or use wands to decorate the backs of chairs.
