Tea party decorations are perfect for birthdays, baby showers, open houses, reunions, Easter celebrations, or friendly get-togethers. You can follow a garden party theme, a ladies-in-waiting theme, or an Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter theme. Play yard games or simply chat around the table while you enjoy a cup of freshly brewed tea and cookies. For children’s parties, invite little girls and boys to dress up in their frilliest of dresses and most handsome of suits or supply costume jewelry, boas, and clip-on ties.
A tea party is a classy affair and presentation is almost everything. You’ll need a dessert table is adorned and well laden with a sumptuous fare of cookies, cakes, pastries, fruits, and other sweets. Arrange them neatly on a stand to show the gravity of the tea-drinking occasion.
Dress up your dessert tables with pastels or china prints. Couple the look with ceramic vases filled with seasonal flowers, and ice the cupcakes or cookies with the creamiest, tallest dollops possible.

Lewis Carroll redefined how we think about tea parties. His Alice in Wonderland characters put the party in tea party. And one of the most fun experiences you can have with a children’s tea party is replicate the zany table of the Mad Hatter. You don’t need to follow any certain theme or include Carroll’s characters. Simply dress up with your table with as much flamboyance as you can muster.
Use toys, ribbons, oversized cups, plates, and plastic ware. Use random, colorful decorations. The wilder and more haphazard you can be, the better! On the downside, you probably don’t have much of these items around the house. On the upside, you can buy random décor for bargain prices!
And you don’t even need to serve tea if you think the children won’t like it. Serve hot chocolate or juice drinks out of a tea kettle into teacups all the same!

Tea party centerpiece ideas include in teapots, decorative tea cups, tea tins, and tea leaves. Place your floral arrangement in a teapot as a vase. Or line the table with colorful tea cups. Allow your guests to choose their favorite to use, and the rest stay in the middle as the centerpiece. Arrange flowers or teacups in a tray with crushed tea leaves as the base. Add a vintage feel with a stack of worn classic novels or books of poetry. Read a passage for fun and see if your guests can guess the author.

Whatever the occasion, make the party extra special with a gift for your guests. For children, send them home with a piece of costume jewelry or a silly teacup and saucer. For adults, present them with a handful of tea mixtures or a small tin of cookies. If you baked the cookies for the party or made your own teas, all the better. Personalize your packaging with printed or hand-drawn labels for the most charming appeal.

Inform your intended guests and get them enthused for your party with a beautifully crafted or wild n’ crazy card. Decorate the card or flyer according to your party’s style. If you’re having a Mad Hatter party, let your guests know with a zany hat and oversized teacup pictured on the card. If it’s going to be a dress-up party, feature boas, pearls, and fancy teapots. A garden party could show fairies or butterflies, and an adult party could depict a steaming cup of tea with a simple floral pattern. Use a stylized font for your script and choose color coordinating envelopes.
