Whimsical Tea Party Themes For Little Ladies
By Marcia
Schwanger
Exciting tea party themes can add a fun twist to a traditional idea and
thrill the special young lady in your life.
Little girls spend countless hours hosting imaginary tea parties -
meticulously arranging miniature cups and saucers, expertly pouring
invisible tea, and mastering the art of casual chitchat to a captive
audience of teddy bears and dolls. Young ladies love tea parties because
they make them feel beautiful, sophisticated, and very grown up. So why
not make all those childhood dreams come true and plan a party that they
will never forget?
1. Princess Tea Party. Every girl dreams of being a beautiful princess
in her own Cinderella story, so play the fairy godmother and grant her
the wish of spending a surreal afternoon in a breathtaking fairytale.
Ask guests to come in elegant, fancy dresses, and make sure that each
princess is crowned with a bejeweled tiara. Glitter, jewels, royal
colors, sumptuous teacakes, and dainty cups and saucers will transform
an ordinary tea party into a grand ball fit for a princess!
2. Valentine's Tea. Valentine's Day is a time to honor and recognize
special friendships, and young ladies can celebrate by hosting a red and
white tea party that is full of heart. Imagine how special each guest
will feel when they are presented with a red rose and invited to partake
of delicious heart-shaped treats while sipping savory red teas and
sparkling punches.
3. Christmas Tea. Young ladies can come dressed in their festive finery
and enjoy an afternoon of spiced tea, Christmas cookies, and fun holiday
games. Test their knowledge with Christmas trivia, make a tree
decoration, or even stuff stockings for underprivileged children in the
community.
4. Tropical Tea. Celebrate summer with a beach themed tea party where
guests come in Hawaiian shirts and leis, and tables are laden with fruit
bowls or tropical flowers. Young ladies can learn the art of hula
dancing while enjoying the refreshment of fruity teas and exotic fruits.
An ice cream bar may also be a tasty addition.
5. Victorian Tea. Take a trip back in time and experience an age where
refinement and sophistication ruled. Ask guests to come dressed in true
1800s style and enjoy an afternoon of parlor games and dainty petite
fours. Decorate a hand fan or fancy hat, and even take time for a
fashion show.
6. Alice in Wonderland Tea. Encourage guests to "not be late for a very
important date" as they are invited to jump through the magic rabbit
hole and enter a wonderland of mismatched tea cups, "eat me" "drink me"
signs, and multicolored decorations. Make your own Mad Hatter hats and
engage in an exciting game of croquet on the outdoor lawns.
7. International Tea Party. Ask guests to come dressed in the
traditional attire of various countries as they take a trip to the
World's Fair. Decorate with flags, national flowers, and authentic
symbols, and challenge the young ladies to sample international teas.
Whether India's Darjeeling, Africa's Rooibos, Thailand's Cha-Yen, or
China's Longjing, guests will spend an afternoon traveling the world and
experiencing the taste of various cultures.
8. Garden Tea. Elegant tablecloths, fresh flower bouquets, and fancy
dresses will transform a typical backyard into tasteful estate grounds.
After a fashionable buffet of iced tea and finger foods, young ladies
can try their hand at flower arranging, make a craft, or play lawn
bowling and other simple party games.
9. Mother/Daughter Tea. Mothers and daughters can dress up in their
finest and enjoy an exquisite afternoon of reconnecting and catching up
while sipping tea and nibbling delicacies. Have a little fun by giving
each other a makeover, test guest's knowledge by taking a
mother/daughter quiz, or show off expert poses with a mother/daughter
photo shoot.
10. Father/Daughter Tea. Young ladies love to dress up and spend an
afternoon enjoying their father's undivided attention. Plan a tea where
dads have the opportunity to treat their little princesses like royalty
for a day, even sharing in a special father/daughter dance.
Tea parties are becoming a popular choice for every age group and any
occasion. Choose from a variety of tea party themes and begin planning
today!
