I gave my step-daughter a tea party when she turned 9. I found this awesome book, "Let's Have a Tea Party" by Emilie Barnes. This book has all the ideas you need for a complete tea party. We did "Little Women" as our theme. The girls watched the movie, dressed up, and had a wonderful tea luncheon. It turned out great. I even found big, floppy hats that we decorated with flowers and ribbons. All of the girls left with the hats, as well as, tea cups. Best wishes!

When my daughter turned 6, she had a tea party for her birthday. We had the girls all dress in their prettiest dresses. At that party, there was a friend who would do their hair and add a small tiara and another to do make-up for those who wanted it. We had a teapot pinata, "loot" bags filled with fancy schmancy goodies (ie. gloves, shiny jewels, bubble necklaces). There were small cakes and pastries (I think we went a little English High-Tea).

Good luck!

Whne I was about 6 I went to one of the funnest parties of my childhood - it was a Teddy Bear Tea Party.

We all got to bring our favorite TeddyBear, and our teddies helped and accompanied us as we did everything.
1st we made 'teddy bear' cookies (I belive it was a gingerbread cookie cutter and my friends mom rolled out some regular sugar cookie dough that had cocoa in it).
While those were baking we decorated aprons for ourselves, and hats for ourteddy bears.
While those dried we played party games and sang songs.
Then we sat down for the actual "tea" with our teddybear cookies, tiny sandwhiches, tiny cakes, and teas. (she had hot cocoa as well) We all had long gloves and hats :)
The we got to dress up in our aprons, dress our teddybears in their decorated to match hats, and went home with the cookie recipie.

I love tea parties! And you don't have to drink tea, you could put what ever they like in the teapot and thats fun, make some cupcakes, maybe let the girls help in frosting them with different toppings, I had a party last night and I cut white bread with a heart cookie cutter and made egg salad sprinkled with a little paprika on top so cute! You need little finger foods. At six, it would be fun to do make-up or nails, if you know any Mary Kay consultants it would be fun to do that (and they come for free) or maybe a craft like painting sun catchers. Then have a girlie movie, "Anne of Green Gables" is such a cute girl movie! Use lots of pink, maybe some dress-up clothes, some feather boas.
My little girls are 2 and 9mon,can't wait to have tea parties! Well we do some now but, my son when he was 2/3 we would have tea parties I got just a plan white tea set and we would have milk and cookies in his room and I would read him a story.(hes 8now and doesn't want to talk about now)
have fun!!

Not sure if you daughter likes Minnie Mouse or not but there are some cute ideas on the Disney website under the parties. They have inviations and great ideas for the tea party.

I have never had a tea-party for children before but I have seen a book that showed tea cups & saucers. Cupcakes were made either in a paper cup and then added to the cup and decorated with pastel color icing and sugar sprinkles. It was a very cute idea.

My daughter had a tea party for her 5th bday. Here are a few things we did:

-I bought each girl a plain straw hat and we decorated them with silk flowers, beads, feather boas, etc. at the party. Then took their pictures with the bday girl (sent them with the thank you notes)

-On the invitation we told the girls to wear their favorite dress--

-I had the dining room table set with place settings for each girl, fresh flowers, candles, etc.. I wanted them to feel "grown-up" and special.

-We served fresh fruit, veggies, pizza and small crackers/cookies. I had my nephew be the waiter and he walked around with the trays of food and served each girl. I cut the pizza into small squares to make it look more "elegant".

-for a party favor, I sent each girl home with a pink rose tied with a tulle bow, along with their hat.

You can get stuff and let the girls make hats like the ladies used to wear in olden days. My sister did this at a party she went to when she was a Senior in high school. The girls had the greatest time!

We have an annual garden tea party and every year we have a silly hat contest. You could gather supplies and let them make and judge the hats. We have so much fun with that.

Hi R.,

I had a tea party for my daughter's 7th birthday back in Dec. We had a blast. We invited 8 girls. I bought the little foam tiaras and craft accessories for each girl to decorate however she wanted. That was a very inexpensive and fun activity for the girls. After they finished we made sure each one took a picture wearing her very own creation. Also, if the girls are going to have cookies with their tea, you can let each one personalize their own sugar cookie.

Hope this helps!

the store has a loaf of bread used for appetizers, these would work great for egg,chicken, ham and cheese etc. they are about two inches square.Peti fores for desert or cookies and at least two kinds of tea, done this and they had fun. Even more fun have them dress up in some of mom's clothes.

First, you have to have a theme then you can go to the party store and find lots of things. Be sure to have flowers, a little corsage for each girl if possible and some sort of little gift for each when she leaves. A board game or two would be fun, or have someone come in and do a "grown up" reading of a book (one on their level, of course).

Hello R., my name is E. Cerda and I host children's tea parties. Because I love the thought of little girls having tea parties, as my daughter did when she was young, I'd be happy to give you some ideas. First of all I teach them manners and etiquette, a couple of projects is for them to put on little costume clothes and plenty of jewelry. Then they put on hats and have a hat parade. They make book markers that they get to take home, sit and have lunch with plenty of teapots decorating the tables. I hope your daughter has a great time as you are making memories!

Have them help you bake some cookies to go with the tea and then have them dress up for th tea party. You can get some cute dress up stuff at the doller store such as little purses, hats and fake make-up. You can always have them put on fake British accents. Hope they have fun!
