Tips for Social Media:
- Use Filters Sparingly: Soft, pastel filters can enhance the magical feel without overdoing it.
- Collages: Create collages to show multiple angles of a single event (e.g., crafting, dancing).
- Hashtags: Use themed hashtags like #PrincessParty, #FairytaleFun, #MagicalMoments.
- Video Clips: Post short clips of games, singing, or kids interacting with the characters.
