Our theme for our mother daughter banquet this year is Pattern of a Princess ...
We are using the verse: Titus 2:7a "In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works" This theme will revolve around what we as God's daughters should strive to be...or qualities we should have as His princess.
It is actually a two-fold theme because we are doing princess related stuff but we are also doing sewing type things to tie in the "pattern" idea. The cover of our booklet will look just like a pattern of a little girls fancy dress. I am going to scan an actual pattern envelope and just change some of the information. Like, instead of Simplicity, it will be Simply Designed by God. The date of our banquet will be the pattern number.
Inside the booklet, a couple of pages will be devoted to an Instruction Sheet: 
General Directions: Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Study First: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Binding: Proverbs 6:20-21 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
Pressing: Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Gathering: Isaiah 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Instructions for Yoke: Matthew 11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Running Stitch: Hebrews 12:1-2 Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
Finishing Details: 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Ornamentation: 1 Peter 3:3-4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
We are planning on having the little girls come dressed up as princesses and do a fashion show.
For songs, we plan on using Child of the King and I Belong to the King, possibly Family of God.
For tickets, you could make them appear to be a royal invitation on parchment paper in script font
Other theme verses could be:
Psalms 45:13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
For decorating, I plan to tie in a lot more of the sewing side of things using sewing baskets, maybe quilting things, jars of buttons, etc.
We may have a lady give a demonstration or talk about quilting or some small sewing project just to mix it up a bit.
We haven't thought about favors yet or games.
We still have a lot of planning yet to do but this is for starters for us.
