Tea Party Birthday Theme

Decoration Ideas for a Tea Party
Pink balloons, streamers hung over the party table, white Christmas lights and a pretty tablecloth will help make an elegant Tea Party. Gather the tablecloth at the corners and hold in place using rubber bands - 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
See our girls party games page for lots of fun games girls can play at a tea party.

Activities

Decorate a cup and saucer.

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.
