Mad Tea Party

 

July 2011 x

FOR INVITATIONS I got a pack of family sized tea bags, took off the tags, and replaced them with big tags saying We are celebrating a very happy unbirthday for a Miss Abby.By the order of the Queen you are to attend"(my sisters name is Abby) then listed the time and the date of the party and that they should come dressed up in mismatched clothes for fun. FOR DECORATIONS I bought an old laced tablecloth for cheap and took some of my make-up(warmth by BareMinerals) and heavily dusted it around the laced part and lighter around the middle.(if you don't have good make-up for this and don't care if it gets dirty or not just use dirt) this was to make it look like it had been there for a while. Then I borrowed tea cups and plates from my Grandma and bought some from a Dollar Store even I set them completely mismatched on the table then I bought doiles and dyed them different colors and layed them where people would sit. In the center was a big tea pot with a stuffed mouse sticking it's head out the top(Dormouse) Then I put the table next to a tree line in my yard so instant scenery then got giant cut outs of Alice in Wonderland characters around my house and the yard ACTIVITIES I had them paint fake white roses red I judged by less paint spilled and most covered. GAMES When they sat down to eat I had put 1 thing on their plate then move to the next seat and put something on that plate they did this til' they were back at their original seat then they had to eat all the food on their plate. I also had croquet played with flamingos and a ball painted like a hedgehog.COSTUMES I just had quests dress wierdly and mismatched.PARTY SNACKS I had peanut butter and  jelly and ham and cheese finger sandwiches along with truffles crackers with cheese and ham shaped like a keyhole on them Strawberries string cheese cut into fourths with half of a cherry tomato on top to make a mushroom with cheese used to make the spots and then various flavors of tea and Kool Aid bottles(the clear ones with the tab if not these then soda in glass bottles)then attached tags that said "Drink Me" on them in whimsical writing.CAKE For the cake I made a regular chocolate 1/4 sheet cake and covered it with white fondant piped some white icing on the edges of the top then in black gel icing I wrote "Eat Me" in the center. FAVORS I had this one site inediblejewelry.com make eat me cake ribbon necklaces and drink me bottle ribbon necklaces I put these in little red take out boxes than I glued the same shade of red cardstock squares to the bottom to give it the appearance of a hat from Tim burton's movie then wrapped a dark brown ribbon near the bottom stuck a little piece of paper that said "10/6" and put a dark feather with it and tucked into the ribbon. then I put some candy in with the necklace. The kids loved the party and this could work for all ages! "
