Beach Princess Party in Tampa: Do’s, Don’ts, and Must-Know Tips

Beach Princess Party in Tampa: Do’s, Don’ts, and Must-Know Tips

A tiara in one hand and sandy toes in the other? Yes, please. 🌊👑

Tampa and our area beaches are the perfect backdrop for a beachy birthday bash – especially when a real-life princess is part of the guest list. But before you roll out the royal carpet on the shoreline, there are a few things you should know.

Planning a beach princess party in Tampa takes a little extra magic and a lot of smart prep. Here’s your ultimate guide to what works, what doesn’t, and how to make your child’s celebration a sun-soaked fairytale from start to finish.


✅ DO: Choose the Right Princess

Some characters are made for a beach party vibe. Think:

🌺 Moana – Island queen of all things water, barefoot-friendly, and the obvious #1 beach party choice.
🧜‍♀️ Ariel – While our Ariel comes in her princess gown (with legs!), she’s still a fan favorite for coastal celebrations.


❌ DON’T: Skip the Shade

Princesses + direct Florida sun = not-so-magical conditions.

While your guests might be in swimsuits, our performers are in full costume – including wigs, heels, and makeup. To help them deliver the best experience (and stay safe), provide a shaded area or tented setup where the character can interact comfortably with the kids.

🎀 A shaded picnic setup with blankets, chairs, and decorations makes the perfect gathering spot for storytime, singing, and the birthday crowning.


✅ DO: Book the Right Package

We recommend sticking with our Glass Slipper Package (30 minutes – $285) for beach parties. It’s the perfect amount of time for:

  • 🌟 Meet & Greet with your princess

  • 📸 Photo ops with the waves in the background

  • 🎶 Sing-Along to her signature song

  • 📖 Storytime under the shade

  • 👑 Coronation Ceremony with a keepsake crown & scroll

  • 🎂 Happy Birthday Song

Need a bit more time? You can upgrade to our Crown Jewels Package (60 minutes – $385), which includes a themed game or dance party – but keep the environment in mind when planning.


❌ DON’T: Assume a Mermaid Tail is Included

Our Ariel comes in her princess gown with her human legs, not in a mermaid tail. She’s more comfortable walking and dancing that way – and it fits best for activities like storytime, dancing, and coronation ceremonies.


✅ DO: Embrace the Beach Theme

Amp up the fun with themed décor and treats like:

  • 🌴 Seashell crowns and flower leis

  • 🧁 Ocean cupcakes or sand pudding cups

  • 🐚 “Make Your Own Necklace” stations with shell and bead kits

  • 💫 Bubble machines for extra sparkle

And don’t forget to have towels and sunscreen on hand for little guests!


Let’s Make It a Beach Day to Remember

At Parties with Character, we love helping families create unforgettable memories by bringing their child’s favorite princess to life—even by the sea.
