It’s a Fairy-tale!
Your last day to childhood and first day to womanhood should be as magical as fairies. So, why not have a fairy-theme for your debut? Remember that fairies are creatures of nature so let this be your guiding element when planning your fairy theme party.
Welcome to Fairyland
You can send out an invitation shaped as wings. With wire, mesh cloth or gauzy fabric and a few glitters, you can create a small fairy wing to set the tone of your party. You can also send a vial of glitters together with your invitation stating that they have been some fairy dust to bring them to Fairyland.
You can also use thick paper and burn the sides to make it look like it is an old parchment or has been made from the bark of a tree. Use a calligraphy pen or Gothic script. Roll the paper and tie it with ribbon. Sprinkle some glitter on the paper before you roll it so when they open your invitation a few “fairy dusts” will escape.
The Fairyland
If you plan to have your party outdoors, pick a venue that has huge trees or full of trees and shrubs. This will add to the ambience of your party. Place some Japanese lanterns on the trees or string some Christmas lights on the trees to symbolize fireflies floating above the venue. For an indoor location, you can also use Christmas lights as decorations. Make sure you string as many as you can to provide an elegant, yet cozy, ambience.
For both an indoor or outdoor venue, line the walkway leading to the entrance with tall lit torches to add to the magical atmosphere you are trying to create. As an added element, tie some small bells or wind chimes on the trees.
As a centerpiece for each table, no need to spend too much on flowers. You can use branches with interesting shapes. Spray them with adhesive glue and put some glitters on it for some sparkle. Place some green moss at the bottom to mimic a tree with grass at the bottom. You can also put some scented tea light candles below your centerpiece.
For an ethereal look, put some butterflies and birds on white cages – preferably love birds. You can also drape some gauzy fabric across the ceiling of your venue to add mystery. It would be great if you can find a harp or other string instruments to be part of your decorations.
Costumes
You can dress up as the Fairy Princess or Queen and have your escort wear a Fairy King costume. Place high-back chairs at the front of the venue as your designated thrones. Do not forget your wreaths! Use small white flowers like aster or baby’s breath for the wreath.
Your guests can wear fairy wings to the party. Pastel colors are great color themes for a fairy-theme party. Pink, yellow, green and blue are some cool colors that guests can wear.

Hello Debut Ideas,
please suggest a beautiful and elegant gown for this theme and please help me have an idea on how to do my invitation card. please, i need your major help.
YOU COULDVE POSTED THIS EARLIER, PRIOR TO MY DEBUT(MAY2010) hehe! I HAD BEEN SEARCHING ABOUT THIS.
I HAD MY DEBUT 3MOS AGO WITH THE THEME “WILD FAIRIES” 😀 IT WENT OUT SO WELL. MY GUESTS CAME WITH WINGS AND WANDS. HAHA
what do you think would be the best giveaways for this theme?
Hi Yambi,
For fairytale themes, try wand ballpens or pencils, figurine fairies, mini fairy wings, cute bottles with glitters inside (wishes), colognes and lotions, fairy cellphone trinkets or keychains, wing shaped white chocolates, etc. Hope this helps.
Hi yam,
Do you know Arwen from Lord of the Rings? The headpieces she wore in that movie are gorgeous and they may fit your theme! For the outfit, maybe you can go for a flowy chiffon dress and top it off with beautiful wings!
For the invitation, perhaps you can have it printed on an old parchment paper with an accompanying small bag or box. In that container, put some fine glitters (fairy dust). Or you can just have the invite in an envelope, and just put the fairy dust there. 🙂
Hope we have helped in any way.
Hi Dlynn,
Red and black? Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, especially with the red queen there and the white queen with the super dark lipstick. But pwede rin itong Renaissance-themed party. Pero usually kasi namimili muna dapat ng theme before the color kasi the theme is the more personal / intimate thing to consider dahil a theme relates to your personality. Try thinking first of what you want in your party tapos isipin mo if you can use the red and black color motif.
Hope this helps!

Your debut party theme really depends on your personality and not on what motif you have =)
Hope this helps!

HELLO PO. IS THERE ANY OTHER THEMES ASIDE FROM THE GIVEN THEMES IN THIS SITE? I’M STILL THINKING OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND THEME. PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS. 🙂
hi there 🙂 I’ve been reading your comments to other people and i find them helpful (i guess for them as well) so I decided to ask for some help. I’ll be having my debut February next year and I’m still confused on what to do and how to plan. I have themes in my mind but i don’t know how to put them together. like i want a GLEE party inspired by the hit TV show because it’s my favorite show and even my name matches the show (some of my friends actually call me berry). i don’t know how will i make the invites and how will i decorate the place and what venue to use in the first place. Hope you can help me 🙂 btw i thought of having slushee for my drinks like the ones used in the show so maybe you can suggest more food ideas. i will really appreciate your help. more power to your site 😀
Hi Kathleen,
Of course there are other themes out there aside from the articles here in our site. Just be creative and you’ll be able to come up with a unique theme for your birthday party / debut celebration. By the way, we have an article on the Alice in Wonderland Theme in our site. =)
Hope this helps.

INTRODUCTION OF THE DEBUTANTE, HER ESCORT AND HER COTILLION COURT
Hi Donna,
What do you mean flow? The program? You can go with this or modify it according to your taste:
That depends on how much time is allotted for the entire program. If you don’t have much time, just include 2 18s (18 roses/dance and 18 treasures) — you can replace these according to your chosen theme.
Hope this helps!
Hi Shobz,
I don’t know but the term “blush” just came to mind when you said pink. I began thinking of an angel blushing pink! I love the idea of angels as your theme. You can enter the venue sparkling by having the spot light on you while you’re wearing a pretty shiny and silky white and pink dress. You can wear small wings too, that would be cute! (don’t wear big wings). Good luck on your Angel Blush themed debut!
Hi Elysa,
There are hundreds of themes you can choose from. We have provided some themes and ideas in this site but you don’t have to be confined with our ideas only. Be more creative. Know yourself, your tastes and preferences, your favorite things, and you will come up with a theme that is very unique to your personality. You can also search Google for some theme suggestions other sites may offer.
Hope this helps!
Hi Sheil,
You can check out our debut themes and ideas pages:
http://debutideas.com/?cat=5
Marami kang makikitang ideas. We can’t really say what’s “maganda” because it depends on your taste! If you want something na hindi mappressure ung guests mo to look for outfits, just state in your invitation: Formal or Semi Formal or Smart Casual. Alam na nila yun na they don’t need to look for costumes.
Hope this helps! 🙂
Hi! 🙂 I’m about to have this theme on FEBRUARY 12, 2011 for my debut. Maybe you can advice me on this:
1) what HAIRSTYLE?
2) SAMPLE DRESSES/ GOWN
Thanks 🙂
