Invitations Use a fancy font and print out the party information on a pretty piece of paper. Roll them up like a scroll and tie with a ribbon. Make the invitations look like a teacup and saucer. |
Decorations
Pink balloons, streamers hung over the party table, white Christmas
lights and a pretty tablecloth will help set the
mood for an elegant Tea
Party. Gather the tablecloth at the corners and hold with a rubber band
- then slip pretty
fake flowers into the band. Bring out your best china
(or use solid color silver or pink paper plates) and all the fancy
dishes you can find. Fill the tea pot with pink lemonade and leave out
the sugar … let the girls sweeten their drink
with sugar cubes from the
sugar bowl. In the creamer pitcher put ginger ale for a sparkly drink.
Fun Ideas
Make the party into a Teddy Bear Tea Party or ask the girls to bring
along their favorite doll. Set a place for the
Teddy’s or Dolls at the
table too. Make tiara’s or have a fun party favor like sunglasses or
hats for the Teddy’s and
Dolls.
Games
Freeze Dance
This is a fun game especially if you blow up lots and lots of
balloons and spread them on the floor. (It’s really fun
if they
completely cover the floor.) Put on some lively music and let the girls
dance around in the balloons. Then
stop the music and shout “freeze”.
The dancing princesses must freeze until the music starts again.
Pin the Tiara on the Princess
Played like the classic party game Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only
guests pin a tiara on a poster of a princess.
Dress Up Relay Game
Gather two sets of fun clothes (long dresses, tutu’s, high heels,
tiaras, hats, wigs, long socks … etc. ) in two
baskets. Place the
baskets at one end of the room and make lines with tape on the other
side of the room where
the teams will line up. Divide guests into two
teams and have the first person in each line run to the baskets, put
on
the clothes … then run back to the starting line to tag a teammate …
then run back to the basket and take
off the funny items. When all the
items are back in the basket they run to the starting line and tag the
next person
in line. The second person then goes and puts on all the
items … etc.
Pass the Parcel Game
Before the party take a small box and wrap it in pretty paper. Attach a
small prize to the outside of the paper and
then wrap the box again in a
different color paper. Continue until the box has been wrapped at least
as many
times as the number of guests you are expecting at the party.
Have the girls sit in a circle and start playing music. The guests
will pass the present around the circle until the
music stops. When the
music stops the guest holding the package will carefully unwrap one
layer of paper and
she gets to keep the prize. Start the music again and
continue until everyone has had a chance to open the
present and
receives a prize.
Activities
Decorate pretty picture frames with glitter and sequins, tea party
cutouts and paint.
Decorate a cup and saucer and let the girls take it home as a party favor.
Food
Cut sandwiches into small shapes with cookie cutters - hearts, stars or
triangles.
Set out platters of chocolates, petite fours, and fruit.
Veggie trays with celery and cream cheese or carrots and Ranch dressing.
Let the girls create (away from the party table) their own cupcakes
and then serve them at the party table with their “tea”. Set out
cupcakes, sprinkles, candies and writing gel. Let them decorate 2 or 3
and take home the ones they
don’t eat at the party.
