Ballerina birthday party with boys?

My daughter wants a ballerina party for her 4th birthday. I asked her tonight who she wants to invite, and she has some boys on her list. Any ideas on how I can include them in this tutu-filled extravaganza?

    DS has been to tinkerbell and princess parties and thought nothing of the frills. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. DD just had a fairy princess party and we invited some boys who declined. The party venue host said she would dress the boys up as prince's wearing a throne. That might be a alternate idea.

    My DS loves to dance and would probably put on a tutu and join the girls. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    DS has been to dance bday parties before. I think he would love to go to a ballerina one...he would probably even love to wear a tutu and be a "princess" for a day (he calls anyone in a skirt/dress a princess)!

    My boys went to a princess party and didn't really notice until it came time for the cupcakes.  They didn't want ones with princesses on them (little plastic cup cake toppers).  Some also had rings so they took those instead.  Stick out tongue

    If you are doing cupcakes maybe have a few with colored sprinkles on them?  But honestly, eating a cupcake - or cake - with a ballerina on it won't ruin their whole day.

    I would probably decline if it was 100% princess. We went to a party that was at a dance place but it was hip-hop and modern dance. They had tutus available but they also had dress up shirts, bandanas etc. The cupcakes and decor were princess though.

    You'll be surprised at how many boys would love to put a tu tu on and join in. DS would be one of them. I think it's funny to walk into his preschool class and see all the boys playing dress up in the princess costumes.

    Edit: I have seen people throw Princess & Pirate parties for this reason which is really cute. I know you said ballerina but just a thought

    DS1 loves dress up parties of any kind. He went to a Princess once and he wore a knight costume. He just went to another Princess one where they asked that the boys dress as pirates, which he loved. He too would wear a tutu if it was given to him. he's just excited to go to parties period!

    We're in a similar situation. My four year old son wants a pirate birthday party and will be inviting a couple girls. I plan on having separate favors/activities for them so they don't feel too out of place. I won't spend a lot of time and money on it, but I'll offer girlie tattoos at the temporary tattoo station and recognize that they would probably much rather have a cheap plastic crown than an eye patch :)  My son was invited to a very girlie birthday party last year and honestly did not enjoy it... I think you just have to be prepared that some boys won't be into ballerinas or dress up.
