It’s an easy event to plan for an afternoon and can include all the typical elements of tea time, from frilly linens to tea sandwiches and cookies. There are also some fun activities and games centered around the tea party theme that the kids will love. Don’t forget to leave room on the table for the star of the show: the teapot. Place one in the center, or, if you have a lot of guests, set two or three of them along the table. You might even want to dress up the table with a few cute accessories:
Lace doiliesFlowersMini framed place cardsStrings of faux pearls (fun to wrap around napkins)
You can stick with tradition, but change it up just enough for your young guests. Ideas include simple fillings like peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, or turkey and mayonnaise, and a strawberry cream cheese spread is a guaranteed winner. Simply trim off the crust and kids’ favorite sandwiches become a little fancy bite suitable for any princess or rock star.
