Tea Birthday Party Ideas

For a younger child, a tea party is a fun opportunity to dress up in fancy clothes, pour and sip "tea" for friends (and their teddy bears), and celebrate being a year older by pretending to be a grown-up. There are a few bonuses for parents, too. A "formal" tea is a fitting occasion for kids to practice good table manners and get into the habit of sending post-party thank you notes. It's also a great chance to swap stories with the guests' parents while sharing your own pot of tea. 




PARTY POINTERS:


The table is a main focal point of this party, so go all out with a festive tablecloth, place cards and lollipop flowers.


Keep the activities simple: put on outfits from a dress-up box filled with old party clothes, hats and costume jewelry; go on a sticker hunt; pose for photos; and sing "I'm a Little Teapot."


Fill a box with outfits from your closet or a local thrift store that the guests can dress up in.

Buy film for group photos and toy cups and saucers for favor bags.

Make sandwiches and fill a fancy pot with herbal iced tea.
