LITTLE GIRLS love princesses and elegance, so instead of throwing a typical four year old princess party I threw a tea party Mad Hatter Style. The theme was an unbirthday party since the date was past. The invite created the theme and the tone...
The invite was printed front and back like a playing card
The event can be done easily if you have time and devotion. I found most of the tabletop from my existing home, and the hosts. Since I go over the top I went to the local goodwill, Anthropologie and a locally owned store for rare finds for those little things that made it whimsical. The first thing I did was dress the Table with linens, doilies and mismatch chairs benches stools and ottomans.
After the table was dressed I worked on the center. Best piece in the center Tallest, outward making sure there was balance from end to end.
Then I set the table each setting equipped with a large plate and small, some with over sized plates, Everyone had a different setting, different plates and teacups. The table had a teapot every 2 seats as well as a sugar and creamer.
Then I added cake plates, vases, and small details, cards, flowers spoons, clocks, cards, stacked plates and teacups all around, making it well MAD@!
Then came the food. macrons tea, sugar, cream, cupcakes, cherry tarts, a dormouse, marshmallows, tea cakes, croissants, finger sandwiches.
Then I created an entry way of moss topiaries, a tray of hats for our guests and a sign of directions. How could this be a party without games and such. So I made a place where many games were played and discovered by the biggest and the small.
For the Mad side of Wonderland there was magical water and treats, a White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledee and Tweedledum even Alice was among us. Since the Party was in honor of our unbirthdays we all sang a song and blew out a candle.
. a table of curiosities and of course the Cheshire Cat
