Hold an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party | Tea Parties

Since we are so close to Halloween, wouldn’t it be fun to hold a dress-up Alice in Wonderland–or Mad Hatter–tea party for adults or children.

Meredith Sweetpea just adores a good themed tea party!

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party ideas

Alice in Wonderland Invitations:

• Create a teacup- or teapot-shaped invitation telling your guests not to be late for a “very important date.”
• You can address them from the Queen herself, the White Hare, or Alice.

Dress Up Ideas for your Alice in Wonderland Tea Party

• Your guests can dress as characters from Alice in Wonderland–or their interpretation of those characters. You may assign each guest a different character to portray and let them design a costume that represents the character.
• Your guests can come dressed in their best “Alice in Wonderland” outfits.
• You can hand out rabbit ear headbands for your guests to wear.

Setting the Mad Hatter Tea Table

• Create a long table and decorate it with teapots and teacups of all sizes.
• Put a stuffed mouse into one of the teapots to represent the Dormouse.
• If you have pink lawn flamingos, what a perfect time to use them.
• Use a stuffed cat to represent the Cheshire Cat.
• Use chairs of different sizes so that guests will sit at different heights.
• Put a hand mirror on the table to represent The Looking Glass.
• Decorate with red and white roses, and a red and white theme.
• Set one or more copies around of the Alice in Wonderland books as part of your table decorations.

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Games

• If you can find hedgehog-shaped plush toys (such as those by Beanie Babies), you can use them as the balls for a game of croquet. Otherwise, set up a regular croquet game on the lawn.
• Set up your pink flamingo yard stakes around the game, you can even use them as wickets.
• Play chess. Mark out a large chess board on your lawn and have your guests be the players. A designated player can call out each move.
• Play “Pin the Grin” on the Cheshire Cat (a variation of “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.”)
• Have your guests read silly riddles.
• Paint your own teapots.
• Play Forfeits.

Food and Drink at your Alice in Wonderland Tea Party

• Label bottles and plates with “Eat Me” and “Drink Me” labels
• Serve toast and jam
• Have card-shaped cookies decorates with the different suit symbols: diamond, cloverleaf, spade and heart.
• Have hard boiled eggs.
• Serve scones and lemon curd.
• Serve Queen of Hearts tarts.
• Serve decorative tea sandwiches.
• Serve tea.
