1. Party Invitations
Depending on the number of women you're inviting, order at least 4 - 5 extra invites as a buffer. Apart from regular princess-themed invitations, you can also print the details on a parchment-like paper and send out a 'royal' invite to everyone. On the other hand, if your budget is tight or if you wish to host a green shower (major 'Yay' points to you), send an e-vite instead.
2. Party Supplies
The best places to find the supplies for hosting the party are craft stores and party stores. As the theme isn't vague, you can select either a famous Disney princess or go with a more general tone. Basically, incorporating theme-related supplies can bring a greater sense of festivity to the event.
3. Venue Décor
Go with colors that fit the general theme you wish to set for the shower. If the new mom loves a particular color, why not include it in the party?! From flower centerpieces to table setting, balloons, bunting, and streamers, there are so many elements you can work with to liven the party.

Serve appetizers on spoons and in shot glasses so the guests don't have to wash their hands too often.
Something to munch on as the guests walk in and mingle with each other.
Refreshing homemade lemonade and fruit-infused water to keep the party going.
Or better yet, serve fresh fruit mocktails that even the mother-to-be can enjoy.

Give mommy-to-be cute and adorable name suggestions for her little princess.
Leave helpful advice and wise words for the princess; the mother-to-be can share it on her birthdays.
Something for everyone; place blindfold on the guests and ask them to guess the baby food.

Before you bid adieu to the ladies, help them get in touch with their inner princess. There are many sites that provide princess-themed favors that can work in your 'favor' while finalizing the actual gifts. So, don't forget to surf through different sites to find the best possible favors for everyone.
Prepare goody bags for everyone with either 1 - 2, or all the favor suggestions given above.
If the party isn't going to be a surprise for the mother-to-be, involve her in the organizing and planning part as well. This way, you will get her valuable inputs and be able to get the tasks completed more efficiently.
