Princess, Fairy, and Mermaid Coronation
Coronations should be held at cake time, before singing “Happy Birthday.”
Be sure to have a tiara UNWRAPPED for the birthday child before your event.
Check the event notes to see if you’re coronating more than one child (some parents ask for tiaras for all of the kids attending)
Check the event notes not only for the child’s name and age, but also for any notes about the child that you might be able to incorporate into their coronation!
Always have a stockpile of tiaras (located at the office!) in your chest!
